Add Membership Purchases to Your Website

Modified on Fri, 7 Nov at 6:52 PM

At MyTime, you can offer memberships for sale online through the booking widget, allowing clients to choose their preferred membership start date. This article will walk you through the steps to set up memberships for online purchasing via the booking widget.

Things to know:

The ability to sell memberships online through the booking widget and express checkout page is governed by the "Accessing Website Tools" access control.
To enable online purchases for memberships, the following steps must be completed:
You must have an active membership subscription. For franchise businesses, please contact your account manager or email support@mytime.com for assistance.
A payment account must be set up to process card payments. If you do not have a payment account, please email processing@mytime.com for help.
In the membership template, ensure that "Yes" is selected for the "Enable Online Purchase" setting.
When configuring the widget or express checkout, "Buy Memberships" must be selected.
The ability for your clients to select a membership start date and determine if the start date should be the same as the billing date is controlled by a hidden setting that only MyTime can enable. To enable this setting, please contact our Support Team at support@mytime.com.

Once configured, your membership purchases can be embedded on your website as a button or an entire page without a pop-up.

Copy the generated embed code
Paste the iframe code into your website’s HTML. You can add it to a dedicated booking page or within an existing page
A web developer can help adjust size, width, or positioning to fit your site layout.

Display Notes:

On Desktop: The widget will display in a wide format.

On Tablet/Mobile: The widget automatically adjusts to fit narrower screen sizes.

If you update the widget settings later (e.g., add Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or Custom CSS), a new URL may be generated. In that case, you’ll need to re-embed the updated code.

Congratulations! Clients can now purchase your memberships directly from your website.
