Enrolling puts a customer on one of your membership plans. Every enrollment ends the same way: the customer reads your plan terms and signs, either on your screen, on the tech's phone, or from a one-time link on their own phone.

Who can do this: owners, admins and dispatchers in the office, and techs from a job in the mobile app.

Enroll from the office

Click Enroll Customer. The Enroll customer in a plan window walks through five steps.

1. Customer & Plan

Search for the customer and pick them, then choose a plan under Select Plan. A customer can hold more than one membership, such as a plan for each unit. If they already have one, the window lists it under their name (Already on … — this adds a second agreement). The same plan can't be added twice for the same system. See More than one membership for the same customer.

2. Billing Cycle

Choose from the cycles the plan offers (Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, Annual). For a multi-year plan you can choose Full term up front to bill the whole term in one invoice.

3. Systems

Systems Covered shows how many HVAC systems the membership covers, suggested from the customer's equipment. A system is the furnace, air handler and condenser that work together, not each part; equipment not grouped into a system counts as one. Adjust the number if needed. On plans priced per unit, the price follows this number.

4. Review

Check the price and set the Start Date and, optionally, the First tune-up date (for example October for a fall heating check sold in July). If you leave it, the first tune-up is due one visit interval after the start.

Under First period, choose Invoice separately (the default: a first-period invoice is created now and emailed to the customer) or Bill later (no invoice now; the first period is invoiced on the billing run for the start date, like a renewal). Bill later only shows while Create renewal invoices and email them to members is on. See Billing the first membership period.

If the customer has a card on file, an Autopay with Visa •••• 1234 switch appears (off by default). Turn it on to charge the first period (today when the start date is within your grace period, or on the billing run with Bill later) and each renewal after that. See Renewals and autopay.

5. Terms & sign

Click Next: terms & signature. Then either:

  • Sign on this screen: the customer reads the terms and signs, then you click Sign & enroll — $XX.XX/mo.
  • Send link instead: choose Text to, Email to or Copy link. The customer opens the link on their own phone, reads the terms and signs. They're enrolled once they sign.

Signing links work once and expire after 7 days. Each link is for one customer and one plan; there's no public sign-up page.
