Helpful Terms and Examples

Dues Types

You may be asking, “What are dues types and how should I use them?” A “dues type” is essentially the membership fee associated with a specific member type. There are many ways dues can be configured in AMO with plenty of flexibility for your association.

Flat-Rate Dues

Flat-Rate Dues are used when there is a single price per member type.

Example
Your Member Type could be setup as “Student” with a fee of $50.
You could then setup a Member Type as “Emeritus” with a fee of $250.

Quantity/Range-Based Dues

Quantity/Range-Based Dues are used when you need to set up pricing tiers based on a number.

Example 1
You might set up a simple tier system such as Producer Member, and have a simple custom field asking what tier (1, 2, 3, etc.) and you create a corresponding pricing rule for each of those tiers.

Example 2
An Organization Member Type might charge based on the number of pounds of product they sell. You can set a numeric custom field called “Pounds of Product,” and set up ranges to charge them based on the number of pounds.

Organizational Dues Type vs Individual Dues Type

There are a number of differences between an Organization and an Individual when it comes to how dues are associated.

Please examine the below diagram:

• Individual Memberships have a set Paid-Thru Date individually for each contact.
• Organizational Memberships have a Paid-Thru date with an Assigned Dues Contact for the organization.
• The Paid-Thru Date is permeated for all individuals in an organization.
