How to Create and Edit Products /

Product/Service: MySideline Admin
Permission Required: Club Admin or higher

 

In order for your Members to register, Administrators will first need to create Products in MySideline.

Products is available in the side menu under "Administration".  The Products section has multiple tab options, including:

  • Fees - this is where you set up Registration Fees.  At a minimum, you need Products created for each Member Type who will be registering to your Club/Association (e.g. Player Tackle, Player LeagueTag, Coach, Volunteer, Referee, etc.).  You can customise individual Member Types for different Ages and Genders as required.
  • Saleable Items - additional items that can be purchased during registration (e.g. Club polo shirt, or a "Season Membership").
  • Date Range Discounts - allows a Club to offer a lower price to Members registering during a specific date range.
  • Discount Codes - Clubs can generate individual discount codes to be sent to participants to use during registration.
  • Family Discounts - allows a Club to reduce the fee amount if a Member is registering more than one person.  Members must be registered in the same transaction for this discount to apply.

More information about each of the above is provided within MySideline when you hover over field titles and (?) icons.

Help! Some Member Types are NOT available for participants when registering!

If a Member Type is NOT available for participants to select when registering, check:

  • Product set up
      • Member Type/Gender/Age - do you have a Product created that matches the participant trying to register?
      • Status - is the Product set to OPEN or CLOSED?  Participants can only register to OPEN Products
  • Is the Member already registered?  Each season, Participants can only register to a Club once as each Member Type.
      • E.g. If a Member registers as a Coach to "Club A" and then tries to register to the SAME club again, the Coach option will NOT be available to select again.  Only other Member Types that match the Member's Gender and Age will display as options

Example - options available before and after Coach registration, per example above
