Step 2: Once they have created their account and/or signed in, they will be asked to accept your venue's terms and conditions and opt-in or out of any consents you have set up.
Step 3: Once they have accepted the invitation, the member will then be taken to their profile where they will be able to see all the memberships that they need to pay for.
If they are a renewing member they will see 'Renew now' and if they are a new member they will see 'Join now'.
Step 4: Once the member has clicked on the 'Renew now' or 'Join now'. button, depending if your club has set up Add-ons, they will be presented with this page. If the member wants to purchase a Add-on, they simply select the quantity and then 'Add to basket' or they can skip this and 'Continue to payment'.
