If desired, customers can register for memberships online through the e-Business website. In order to make your membership product available for purchase via your e-Business site, the Product Status on the General Setup screen must be “Active”, the "Web Enabled Rate" checkbox on the Rates and Pricing screen must be checked for at least one rate code, and you need to set up an associated “Active” e-Business Control.
The e-Business Links section of the task bar includes the following screens for configuring membership products for purchase from your e-Business site:
Currently,
Mobile Control has only been implemented for INV, MTG, and FND products.
For more information, please see Back
Office Configuration Options for Mobile.
Additionally, if a product has been rated on the web, you can review the comments and ratings via the Product Review screen. For more information, please see Managing Membership Product Reviews.
The selection of which membership product should be available in e-Business is dependent on those products that are for first-year members. A simple business requirement for selecting the correct membership type on the Web is when each membership is targeted to very different individuals. These could be professional, undergraduate student, post graduate, and affiliate. If the association has important qualifications for certain types of membership, additional custom logic would be added to the standard membership Web part. This should be discussed with your Business Consultant during the Discovery sessions.
After setting up your online access membership product to display on the web, your users will see the product detail page similar to the one displayed below.
As of 7.5.0, only MBR products with a Product Class of "Online Access" will display on the product detail page. All other MBR products will be taken through the membership join or renew workflow. On the MBR product detail page in e-Business, the information that can be displayed if setup is listed in the chart below.
After
setting up your online access membership product, if the product is still
not displaying in your online store, verify the settings specific to the
member group. If member group of the membership product (the parent product)
has the "Primary" checkbox checked on the Membership
Structure Maintenance screen and "Exclude Primary Member Group"
checkbox is checked in the Control
Settings screen for the Product Listing control on the web, the product
will NOT display in your online store.
