We’ve just launched a powerful new feature to make memberships more flexible and accessible — Installment Payments. Organizations can now offer payment plans to members, allowing them to split their membership fees into manageable chunks.
This update helps reduce upfront cost barriers, improves conversion, and makes it easier for members to commit.
Overview
Installment Payments give your organization the tools to:
Enable installment plans in General Settings and Membership Types
View and manage installments directly from the Member Section
Create new plans with a few clicks using the new Installment tab
Track installment status using new filters and columns in Payments
How To Enable Installment Payments
Enabling Installment Payments is easy and starts in your platform settings.
Navigate to General Settings → scroll to Installment Payments → toggle it on.
Please note, that installment payments are currently only supported when online payments are enabled.
How To Enable Installment Payments In Membership Type Settings
Go to Membership Type Settings → click into any membership type → under Advanced Pricing, you’ll now find the Installment Settings toggle. Enable it to activate installment options for that membership.
Installment Payments In Members Section
Once activated, you’ll be able to differentiate members with a new column “payment plans” directly in the Member List.
View Installment Plans All In One Place
We’re excited to unveil a powerful new addition to the Glue Up platform—Installment Plans, now available directly in your main navigation under Memberships. You’ll see new columns showing payment progress, due amounts, and plan status and many more — all in one place.
What’s New on the Screen?
Total Active Installment Plans
Total Revenue from Installments
Past Due Installments
These insights give you instant context about how your installment-based payments are performing overall.
A Detailed Table View You’ll Love
The new table gives you rich, actionable data—each row represents an installment plan tied to a membership. Here’s what you’ll see across the columns:
Membership Status — Shows the membership status.
Installment Plan Status — Visual indicators like On Track, Past Due, Canceled, or Completed help you quickly spot what needs attention.
Billing Frequency — Know whether a member is billed monthly, quarterly, or otherwise.
Total Billed / Paid / Remaining Balance — Instantly see what’s been collected and what’s outstanding.
Paid Terms — Example: 3/4 tells you how many installments have been completed.
Next and Last Bill Dates — Helps you stay ahead of upcoming charges.
Paid Through — The last date the member has successfully paid through.
We’ve added a new More Actions menu for each plan:
View Membership Details
Copy Payment Link
Add Task
View Finance Details
This gives you all the tools you need to act quickly—without navigating away.
Introducing New Column In Payments
In the payments section, we’ve made sure that recognizing the difference between payments plan is easy. Payment plan type is differentiated between lump-sum payments and payments in installments.
