Depending on the reason for blocking a member’s access, there are several ways to handle this in GymMaster.
Block Access: Outstanding Balance
If you want to block members automatically when they owe money (such as from failed billing), you can set the system to stop their access after a certain time, and amount owed.
Go to :
- Settings > Advanced Configuration > Doors & Readers > Stop after owe - Time
- Settings > Advanced Configuration > Doors & Readers > Stop after owe - Amount
These settings work together. For example:
- Stop after owe - Time = 2 days
- Stop after owe - Amount = $50.00
A member’s access will be blocked if they owe $50.00 or more, for 2 days or more.
Note: This will automatically clear once the member has paid, and their balance is back below the threshold.
Ongoing Outstanding Balance - Debt Collection
If a member’s account is at the stage where it may be sent to collections :
- Navigate to the member’s profile
- Accounts and Billing > Debt Collection > Blacklisted
If blacklisted, member cannot purchase new memberships or access Member Portal.
Note Blacklisting alone does not prevent entry.
Block Access: See Staff
If you need to block access until a member speaks with staff :
- Navigate to the member’s profile > Scroll down > Select Member Actions on the left > Stop Member at Gate
Note : This creates a task in the member’s Communication tab. It will need to be manually cleared by staff afterwards.
