The membership program is a template from which membership cards are issued to clients. It sets the name of the program, card validity, description, terms of use and discount applied to selected services.

## Description of functionality

The membership program determines the rules for membership cards. When a client is assigned a membership card from that program, the client receives a discount on the services included in the program.

The membership card does not accumulate points. It serves for a fixed discount or benefit.

## When to use

You use this functionality when:

* you want to set up a discount membership program
* you want to limit the discount to certain services
* you want to define how long the membership card is valid
* you want to prepare the rule text that the client sees with the card

## Before you start

Prepare:

1. membership program name,
2. card duration,
3. discount percentage,
4. services to which the discount applies,
5. program description,
6. terms of use for the client.

The loyalty program must be activated for the location. Activation is done by Zoyya support.
