Intro
This feature allows another person to pay for the subscription of one or more of your customers. This is useful, for example, when a minor is to have a subscription with you, then the child can have their own profile page with an active subscription but the parent pays.
You can either add another payer when the subscription is added or afterwards. We will show both scenarios in this article.
NOTE: This assumes that the person who will pay for the subscription has a profile page with you and a payment method entered. The subscription will be charged to the payer's default payment method.
When another payer has been selected and all other settings are correct, press 'Finish'.
The subscription now states who is the holder of the subscription and who is the payer.
You can click on the payer's name to go directly to that person's profile page. It is on the payer's profile page that all orders for the subscription are created.
On the payer's profile page, it will look like the image below. On the left you will see the payer's own subscription and on the right are the subscriptions they pay for in addition to their own. The subscription that is only paid for is lighter in tone so it is easy for you to distinguish them.

Under upcoming orders you will now see that there are two payments per month (one for each subscription) that will be charged from the payer's default payment method.
NOTE: If a payer is added later, only future orders will be affected. Any failed orders or those that have already been activated and are under the 'Processing' tab will not change payer.

If you go in and review the order for a coming month, it will look like the image below.
The order and subsequent receipt have two lines. One for each subscription and it states who the additional membership is being paid for.

Go to the ' Change payer ' option. You'll find it a bit further down the first page (under the 'Information' tab).
Select user and save.
NOTE! This again assumes that the person who is going to pay for the membership has a profile page and a payment method entered. The membership will be charged to the payer's default payment method. One person can be the payer for several different people's memberships.
