Create a member rate
Create a member rate
Section titled “Create a member rate”A member rate — internally called a billing scheme — is a named package of dues and a usage-rate modifier. Every syndicate starts with a default Member rate; create more when you need different terms for different groups (for example, an equity member and a renter).
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- You must be an owner or admin (treasurer counts as admin).
- A new syndicate already has a default Member rate. You do not need to create one to start.
- “Renter” is a common rate label, not a role.
- Open the syndicate.
- Go to Dashboard → Syndicate settings → Payments & Schemes.
- Tap Manage Billing Schemes. Route:
/syndicates/:syndicateId/billing-schemes. - Tap the Add billing scheme button (top-right).
- Enter the Name — the label members see (for example, Equity member, Renter, Founder).
- Enter the Dues amount, the Dues interval count (for example,
1), and the Dues interval unit (day, month, or year). Set the dues amount to0if this rate has no periodic dues. - Choose a Usage Rate Modifier type:
- None (base rate) — this rate pays the asset’s base rate with no adjustment.
- Fixed — adds or subtracts a fixed amount (e.g.
+40or-20). - Percent — scales by a percentage (e.g.
-25for a 25% discount). - Override — replaces the asset’s base rate outright.
- Enter the Modifier value required by the selected type.
- Tap Create Scheme.
The scheme is saved. It appears on every member’s detail tile and on the Billing & Rates per-scheme rate table.
Make a scheme the default
Section titled “Make a scheme the default”New members are assigned to the default scheme automatically. To change which scheme is the default:
- Tap the Make default scheme icon on the scheme you want.
- Confirm in the dialog. The previously-default scheme loses its default badge.
If it goes wrong
Section titled “If it goes wrong”- You cannot delete a scheme that is currently the default — Make default on another scheme first.
- Deleting a scheme with members prompts to reassign them to the default scheme automatically.
