Title: Membership renewal confusion...
Post by: ev612337 on May 11, 2017, 10:29:12 PM
Hi,

I got an e-mail about renewing my membership, which I fully intended to do.

However, it said membership renews annually which made me think it would just automatically renew and I'd get a e-mail with a link to pay or something. Not so, it seems.

So, I've now tried to renew manually but I can't see how you do this. All I can find is a form that looks like it's for new members to sign up and pay.

Am I missing something? Is there a specific renew membership page somewhere that I am just not seeing?

Thanks for any/all help.

There's a link right under the search bar.

Cheers, but therein lies my problem. Everything to do with membership seems to be to do with becoming a new member rather than being an existing member wishing to renew...

hover over "profile", click "account settings" then click "paid subscriptions" on the left, there's a button to click there that'll direct you to paypal

hover over "profile", click "account settings", hover over actions then click ...

I have a recurring sub which nabbed funds on 22nd April but my membership shows finished  :(
We defo need to review this as something is broken.

it's an issue with PayPal I believe, the same thing has been happening with Boards.ie and their recurring subs, for over a year now.

Cool, that worked and I checked the recurring payment option too so it should not involve human intervention next year :-)

I think the renewal notification e-mails and the intuitiveness of the steps/process need to be rethought though...

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for all the help.
