Duplicate Membership Payment

[ZoeBK]

This situation came up when a member renewed their paid membership, forgot about it, and renewed it again. Double paying. Is there a way to keep a member from buying a duplicate membership for themselves? I couldn’t find if there is some code to only allow someone to buy a membership one-time. Thanks!

Sometimes, people WANT to do things like that; so preventing them causes its own problems.

One thing you might try, is displaying some kind of information on the page that has the renewal buttons. Something like:

Member: Member-Name
Current Membership Level: Level-Name
Current subscription expires on: yyyy-mm-dd

Renewal buttons go here…

Note: You will need to install the Show Member Info Addon:

In addition to what @wzp mentioned, you can use section protection to hide the renewal button unless the account status is ‘inactive’ or ‘expired’. This ensures it’s not visible to logged-in members with an active account.
