You’ve probably seen the option to prorate when adding a membership to a member, hold, or cancellation, and wondered what it actually does. Here’s the rundown. Prorating means adjusting the charge so that the member only pays for the part of the period they actually use. Member starts a monthly $100 membership on the 15th of a 30-day month. If you prorate, they’d only pay about $50 for that first half-month, then start paying $100/month on the next full cycle.
