💭 Imagine Gaëlle. She walks into GlowBar Clinic, a calm and modern beauty studio offering laser and skincare memberships.

At the entrance, she’s greeted with a smile and offered a free unlimited membership — a simple card giving her 5% off today’s treatment and the next ones.

She accepts. The treatment goes well. She loves it.

At checkout, the staff offers her the choice to upgrade to a paid membership for better discounts. Paid memberships are like the following:

monthly, 3 months, 6 month, or yearly plan

Gaëlle, already confident in the service, chooses the yearly plan, which gives her 14 months for the price of 12! Wow, bargain! 🤯

Her free membership card now updates automatically to reflect her new plan, showing a clear renewal date in 14 months.

NOTE:

If auto-renew is active, her payment card on file will renew the plan automatically after 14 months. If it’s not, Gaëlle receives a friendly reminder 1 month before expiration:

“Hey Gaëlle, your membership is ending soon — renew it at your next visit to keep your benefits.”

If she doesn’t renew right away, her card gets locked, waiting to be reactivated at her next visit.

Staff can then easily restart her plan or switch her to a different one with one tap.

No confusion, no manual calculations — just smooth recurring revenue and peace of mind for both sides.

🤔 Why This Matters

Today, staff waste time reconfiguring dates, manually extending cards, or explaining renewals. Plus, the membership cards of the clients are constantly being inactivated because the subscription renewal period doesn't follow the pricing period.. it's very frustrating.

With this upgrade, the entire membership flow becomes predictable, automated, and trackable.

💌 Feature Enhancements Proposed

✅ Smart Duration Logic

Each plan defines its own duration:

1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, custom

→ When applied, the system auto-calculates renewal and expiration dates.

✅ Lock/Unlock Logic

When a membership expires without renewal, it becomes “locked.”

Staff can simply restart or upgrade it from the client’s profile.

✅ One-Click Upgrade Button

From free to paid, monthly to yearly, or back again — one tap updates everything seamlessly.

Outcome

For GlowBar Clinic, it means:

💆‍♀️ Less admin time.

💳 Predictable recurring income.

💌 Happier, long-term clients.

Memberships shouldn’t feel like spreadsheets — they should feel like loyalty. please let's make it happen!!
