For renewals there are the possibility to make the renewals manually or automatically.
Automatic renewal is only available when using Direct Debits (currently only supported by Mollie), for more information about direct debit and how to use the new email templates, please contact Tixly Support.
Manual renewals creates a reservation with the new membership on the Renewal Date and sends an email* to the customer with information on how to purchase the order. The new membership will be valid from the date where the old membership ended.
*if an email template is selected.
An example: If a client has bought a membership on January 20th, 2023 with a valid time of 12 months, a Start Renewal days of 10 and a grace period of 20, the reservation will be made on January 10th 2024 and an email is send to the customer about how to renew the membership. This reservation will be valid until January 30.
No matter when the customer pays for the reservation after January 10. and before January 30th, the new membership will be valid until January 20th 2025.
