Overview
This guide explains which membership or package settings in CORE are retroactive — meaning updates will affect existing clients who already have that package — and which ones are only applied to new sales going forward.

Step-by-step overview
Most fields are NOT retroactive
If you edit a package or membership to change things like:
- Price
- Credit amount
Those changes will not impact any existing clients. They will only apply to new purchases going forward.
Tip: Always double-check if you're updating a live membership that has existing active users.
Retroactive field #1: Session Types
- Go to Payments > Retail Configurations
- Select Session Package or Membership
- Select a package name to edit the package or membership.
- Under Session Types, add or remove session types.
- Click Edit Package to save.
✅ This update will apply to all clients currently using this membership or package — existing and new.
Example: If you add "Martial Arts" to a membership, clients who already hold it will now see those credits available.
Retroactive field #2: Shared Locations
- Edit the relevant package or membership by repeating steps 1-3 above.
- Scroll to Shared Locations.
- Add new shared studios (either select all or specific ones).
- Click Edit Package to save.
✅ All current clients with that membership will now be able to use it at the newly shared locations.
Tip: Great for when you're opening new locations or linking sister sites.
Expected outcome
Only specific fields — like Session Types and Shared Locations — will apply to both current and future members. Other changes like pricing or billing frequency will only apply going forward.
