# Sell a membership

> Sign a client up for a membership from your dashboard and take the first payment.

When a client joins at your front counter, sell them the membership with **Quick sale**. You take the first period's payment now, and Onsuki bills them for each period after that.

## Before you start

Create the membership first. See [Create a membership](https://help.onsuki.com/business/catalog/memberships/create-a-membership.md).

## Sell the membership

**1. Open Quick sale**

On the **Calendar**, select **Quick sale**, then **Memberships**. Or, from the client's profile, select **Quick sale**, then **Memberships**, and the client is already chosen.

**2. Choose the client**

In **Client**, search for the client, or select **Add new client**. Check **Sold by**, then select **Next**.

**3. Choose the membership**

Under **Select items**, select the membership. Each one shows what it gives and its price, such as "Unlimited sessions a month · ₱3,500".

**4. Take the first payment**

The **Review cart** opens with the membership. Choose how they pay under **Payment**, then select **Complete transaction**.

Choosing the membership to sell

You see "Payment recorded." The membership is on the client's **Memberships** tab as **Active** and **Paid**, and its credits for this period are ready to book with. See [Manage a client's membership](https://help.onsuki.com/business/clients/client-memberships.md).

## What happens next

The first period starts the day you sell it. When it ends, Onsuki emails the member a bill for the next period, and they pay it online or you take the payment. Nothing is charged automatically. See [How membership renewals work](https://help.onsuki.com/business/catalog/memberships/how-renewals-work.md).

## Good to know

* If you close the cart before taking payment, the sale is discarded and no membership starts. A cart left open and unpaid is closed after an hour.
* A client can have one live membership on each plan. Selling the same plan again says "They're already on this plan."
* A membership with no renewal period is a one-time pass. It's sold like a package and never bills again.
* With more than one location, the sale is rung up at the location the calendar shows.
* A full refund of the sale takes back the period's unused credits. See [Refund or void a sale](https://help.onsuki.com/business/payments/refund-a-sale.md).
* To pause or end it later, see [Freeze or stop a membership](https://help.onsuki.com/business/catalog/memberships/freeze-a-membership.md).
