How to Create PTA Membership Categories

In this tutorial, we're going to cover how you create PTA Membership Categories. This tutorial assumes that Volleyball Canada has created the membership categories at the Volleyball Canada Level.

The naming of a membership category form is very important. The name of the form will determine how it is tied to the Volleyball Canada membership form. The name of all membership category forms must follow the convention "2014-15 Membership Categories" and can not be changed. *Please note that this tutorial will use a form title of "2014 Membership Categories" for demonstration purposes only.

  1. Log in to the Control Panel
  2. Click "Individual Registration Forms"
  3. Click "Edit" for the Membership Categories form
  4. Skip to Step 2 of the 5 step form editor

 

 

 

Please note - This form is set as a "Player" form, but the categories created are available to all types are participants. This form is strictly used for the purpose of creating membership categories and will not be published for participants to view.

Membership Categories are added in Step 2 as Programs/Payment Types:

  1. Enter the name of the Membership Category that should be available to participants for purchase
  2. Click "Add Payment Type"
  3. Do not restrict age and gender for membership categories
  4. Do not enter a maximum number of players
  5. Select the appropriate match for the VC Category from the available drop down list
  6. Copy the Program/Payment Type name into the Payment Details line
  7. Enter the amount (price) of the membership for this category (not including the Volleyball Canada portion)
  8. Indicate the applicable tax rate(s) to be applied
  9. Enter an appropriate GL (general ledger) code
  10. Click "Save Changes"
  11. Repeat for all PTA Membership Categories

 

Once membership categories have been set, they should not be changed during the membership season. A change to or removal of a membership category will affect registration forms created with the membership category set as a requirement. This will cause errors for users attempting to register.

 

5. Move to Step 4 of the 5 step form editor

Do not select to allow offline payments. Select to allow online payments and select your organization's PayPal account from the payment gatewat drop down list. Click to Save Payment Information.
