Select a membership, then open the ••• menu on its Billing card.
Start a membership
Customers join from your storefront: from a page with the Membership plans app block, or by selecting Become a member on a product page. Once they complete checkout they receive their credits and can rent eligible products. Your team can also put a customer on a plan. The plan is paid for as the order is placed and the membership is created with its credits ready once the order is paid, so you can add items to it on the same order or a later one. A customer with no card on file can still be put on a plan. Their charges are raised as normal, and you collect them yourself until a card is added.From a draft order

Change a membership’s billing
Open the ••• menu on the Billing card to pause, reprice, discount, move to another card, or cancel. The actions apply to the membership you opened, not to every membership the customer holds. Each one is written up in Subscription actions, which covers memberships and subscription rentals alike. A paused membership shows no renewal date until billing resumes. To work across many memberships at once, such as moving everyone with an expired card onto another one, filter Type to Membership on Subscription contracts.Rename a membership

Membership FAQs
Does pausing billing pause the customer's credits?
Does pausing billing pause the customer's credits?
Pausing stops collection, and a paused membership shows no renewal date until billing resumes. Credits the customer has already spent stay spent. To stop them spending more, change the allowances on the Allowances card.
Can a customer hold more than one membership?
Can a customer hold more than one membership?
Yes. The customer page shows a card per active or paused membership, and each has its own allowances, billing, and nickname. On the product page the customer chooses which membership pays.
Why does a membership appear under Subscription contracts?
Why does a membership appear under Subscription contracts?
Memberships bill through Shopify subscription contracts, the same mechanism subscription rentals use, so the same bulk fixes work on them. See Subscription contracts.
