Hi There,

Is there a way to setup CIVI to automaticaly renew membership?

We use off-line payments.
Members who sign-on (become a member), authorize us to automatically charge annual membership fee.
I created a profile where members can give their bank account nr. and (checkbox) "I agree that membership fee will be charged annually"
We don't want to border them asking every year if they want to be a member or not.
Member need to sign-in to only cancel their membership. After cancellation, they stay member until the year is over.

How to set this up in civi? Is this out of the box functionality?

Hi Lobo,

That's a lot of no's  

I'll give you more info about the case.
We have a few thousand members in the DB and we want them to send an email and ask them to sign-up for a membership.
Our membership is 1 year starting from 01-01 to 31-12. We ask 15 euro per year and have only one type of membership.

• Our members want to opt-in for a membership
• After one year they want to have the choice to renew or quit membership or let us know via profile that they want to autorenew
• Our members want pay off-line

My questions

• How to set this up in Civi. what goes where (contribute/members) I know autorenew isn't out of the box functionality, but we can do this perhaps manualy in the backend.
• How can a member stop membership (opt-out) so that we know he want's to quit
• What is the workflow if we receive off-line payment. Howto administer it in civi
• Is it possible to show the periode of the membership and the membership fee amount in the confirmation page?

I read all pages on the wiki and browsed forum, but I'm a bit lost.

Edwin, did you get this solved yourself or with an expert? Exactly the same problem here,
