Plans with recurring billed contracts can be configured to allow customers to complete their own Freeze, Thaw, or Termination from the customer portal.
Status changes made through the customer portal are automatically updated on the contract - no additional configuration is necessary. You configure the options.
The Contract Holder is the only one that can make changes for the contract via the customer portal. Additional members are shown a message in their customer portal to contact their membership’s contract holder to make changes.
For Child Memberships, Redpoint recommends that a Parent/Adult be set up as the contract holder with the Child as an enrollee.
Configuration Options
-
Termination rules are configured in Plan Settings > Termination Terms tab.
