# Configure Secondary Recurring Fees and Auto-Insert Them into Membership Agreements

**Overview**

This guide shows you how to add Secondary Recurring Fees (SRFs) to membership plans and automatically include those details in your membership agreements using dynamic shortcodes. Whether it’s an annual maintenance fee or a future rate increase, SRFs let you automate extra charges, show them clearly at checkout, and keep your contracts accurate and transparent.

 

**Prerequisites**

- Admin access to CORE
- Memberships already created
- Agreement templates ready to edit

 

---

**Add a Secondary Recurring Fee to a Membership**  
 

1. Login to Core
2. Navigate to **Payments \> Retail Configuration \> Memberships**
3. Select an existing membership or click **Create New**
4. Scroll to the **Secondary Recurring Fee** section and select the Checkbox 
5. Fill in the following: 
     - **Fee Amount**
     - **Tax Settings**
     - **First Billing Date** (after X months or on a fixed date)
     - **Billing Cycle** (e.g. every 6 months, every year)

 

Important Note: This charge applies only to new memberships sold after this setup. It won’t affect current members.

**Insert SRF Shortcodes into Membership Agreements**  
 

1. In the edit window for the Membership scroll down to the **Package Agreement**
2. Copy the below shortcodes and paste them into the relevant sections of the agreement. 

- To automatically display SRF Value  
- To insert the billing start period or date
- To insert the recurring billing frequency

 

**Example:**

“Annual dues of \<SECONDARYFEEAMOUNT\> will be billed on \<FIRSTSECONDARYFEEBILLINGDATE\> every \<SECONDARYFEEBILLINGCYCLE\>.”

This will show to members as:

“Annual dues of $100.00 will be billed after 2 month(s) every 1 year(s).”

Note: Once a member signs, the shortcode values become static and won’t reflect any future SRF changes.

**Manage SRFs during Suspensions or Cancellations**

 

**During Membership Suspensions**, you can:

• **Cancel the SRF** (default), or

• **Keep it active** if you still want to charge during the pause

 

**On Membership Cancellation**, SRFs are voided automatically.

 

Note: If a suspension is reversed before the SRF date, any canceled SRFs are automatically reinstated.

 

---

**Run reports with SRFs included**

Secondary Recurring Fees are reflected across key financial reports. 

- **Sales by Service**
- **Net Revenue Detail**
- **Net Revenue Detail + In Processing**
- **Projected Revenue**

 

These reports show SRFs separately from other charges for cleaner financial reporting.

**Troubleshooting / FAQs**

**Q: What if I change the SRF after someone signs an agreement?**

A: It won’t update. The value shown in the agreement stays locked from the moment of signing.

**Q: Why don’t I see SRFs on existing memberships?**

A: SRFs only apply to new memberships created after you enable the feature.
