Member renewals; applying a late fee
September 07, 2012, 04:06:59 pm
Hi there,

One of my clients who has been using civi for about two years just sent me an email indicating that their renewal period has closed but renewals are still trickling in and they would like to apply a late fee to those stragglers. My first thought was just change the price but I expect they want to have the regular price listed and have a late fee so that it is reported in their financials/receipts and more importantly so that new members don't get caught paying a fee for new signups.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Andrew

CiviCRM doesn't have this capability built in.

If you want to build it, you would need a custom built Drupal module that uses CiviCRM hooks.

Things to consider:
1. Indentifying the an expired member in the first place
   a. are they logged in?  do they have a login?
   b. did you use a checksum to identify the member as they arrived at the contribution page?

2. Using hooks to raise the price of membership for those identified as expired

If it is worth it to the client to spend all the money to develop this, then please publish your work as an extension or module.

That being said if this were my client I would tell them that rather than punish expiring members they should reward members who renew for more than one year and offer discounts.

See http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,25881.msg109875.html#msg109875 for an idea how to code this.

Thanks Stoob and Hershel,

I'll see what the powers that be say about investing in a little custom coding. My guess is that they'll choose not to. If they do however, I'll follow up with details and a recipe.

Cheers,
Andrew
