Track memberships and renewals

Running your club Updated July 2026

Every club has a spreadsheet somewhere with a "paid?" column that nobody has opened since March. Konia keeps the same information next to the member instead, so it is in front of you when you actually need it, and it chases people by email so you do not have to.

Set a member's renewal

  1. Open the membership sheet

    On the Members screen, open the menu on a member's row and choose Manage membership. Coaches only. The same sheet opens from the Renewal and Payment cells in the Coach Web Portal.

  2. Set the renewal date

    This is the one field that makes everything else work. Until it is set, the member has no membership card in their profile at all, and no reminder can be sent.

    Leave it and Konia offers exactly one year from today, which is what most clubs want. The × clears it again.

  3. Set the payment status

    Three states, not two: Not set, Paid, and Unpaid. "Not set" is the honest default for a member you have not got round to checking, and it is worth keeping it that way rather than marking everyone unpaid.

  4. Assign a membership fee

    If your club has more than one price, pick the member's tier here. Only coaches can do this, so nobody can quietly move themselves onto the junior rate.

    Leave it as Not assigned and the member pays your first tier. That is what lets a single-price club work with no assignment at all, and it is also the thing to watch in a multi-tier club.

  5. Add a note if you need one

    Up to 200 characters, visible to coaches and to that member. Good for "paid in cash at the track, 4 March" or "transferring from Lausanne club".

  6. Save

    One save writes the lot.

Save before you tap anything else. The links inside this sheet, to your bank details or your fees, close the panel to take you there. Anything you had typed and not saved is gone. Save first, then go.

What the statuses mean

Konia turns the renewal date into a status you can scan down a list:

  • Active, green, more than 30 days away.
  • Expiring, orange, within the next 30 days. A membership that runs out today still counts as expiring, not expired.
  • Expired, red, the date has passed.
  • No date set, nothing at all. The member sees no membership card.

To work through them, sort the Members screen by Renewal due. In the web portal there are dedicated Renewal and Payment columns you can sort on.

Set your prices

Fees live with your bank details, not on the members screen, because the price is also what goes in the reminder email. Open Edit club from your club page and find the Billing section.

There you set your club IBAN, account holder name and billing address, then add your membership fees: one row per price, each with a name like Adult or Student and an amount. Up to 10 tiers. The currency is club-wide rather than per tier. Once you connect online payments it follows your Stripe account, so prices and payouts match, and it locks for good once a member has paid.

Even a single-price club should add one fee. It is what puts a real number in the renewal email and on the member's card, instead of leaving them to guess or ask you.

What your members see

A member with a renewal date gets a Membership card on their profile. Tapping it shows when they renew, what they owe, and how to pay: your bank details with a reminder to use their own name as the reference, and, if your club has online payments switched on, a Pay button.

Two deliberate omissions are worth knowing about. Members never see an "Unpaid" flag, only a positive "Membership paid" chip once they are settled, so an out-of-date record never accuses anyone. And they cannot change their own fee tier.

The reminder email

Konia emails members about 30 days before their renewal date, in their own language, with the date and your payment details. You do not schedule it and you cannot forget it.

  • For a dependent, the email goes to the parent who manages them, not the child.
  • Only the recipient can turn it off, under Notifications in their profile. There is no coach-side or club-level switch, so you cannot silence reminders for your whole club.
  • Changing the renewal date re-arms it. Move someone's date forward a year and they will be reminded again next time, automatically.

The one thing people get caught by: when a member pays online, Konia marks them as paid, but it does not move the renewal date. That stays your decision, because only you know whether the payment bought a year, a season, or a half.

So the routine after a payment is: open the member, push the date forward, save. That also re-arms next year's reminder.
