Fantastic! Thank you! 🙂 I hope to demonstrate this to the club on Saturday.

Good feedback! 🙂 In my original edit I thought they might create all of the free accounts first and then go through and pay subscription/dues. How does “Login into the new account via the member login page” sound?

Yes, I have buttons on the site (aldrich.club). Is that what you mean? Here are the instructions I’ve created for sharing a paypal account:

Special Instructions for Couples and Families using Shared PayPal Account

When setting up multiple family members for the first time using one PayPal account, our registration system requires that you follow these steps (for renewals skip to step #2):

1. Register each person as a free member on aldrich.club using the free registration form
(a) Note: you must use an unique email address for each person.
(b) Free email addresses for each person can be setup with Gmail, Microsoft, Yahoo!, etc.
2. Login as the first person via the member login page
3. Navigate back to this Join the club page
4. Click on the appropriate pay dues button e.g. Pay junior dues
5. You will be redirected to PayPal to complete the transaction
6. Once you submit your payment your free account will be upgraded
7. Log out (IMPORTANT)
8. Repeat steps 1-6 for additional members

It’s a site for outsiders. It’s an astronomy club open to the public. We have adults and kids from all over the state of Massachusetts.

Ok. That does work. I logged in as my son from an incognito window so that I didn’t have my admin cookies etc perhaps conflicting. I went to the join page and signed up at the junior annual rate. From another browser I see that it applied to my son’s profile. I then repeated this for my daughter’s and it applied her membership to her profile. What do I write for customers/new members? Would they create a free profile for each family member. Log into that profile. And then join? Logout and repeat?

Update: I have refunded the original transactions and canceled the subscriptions. I deleted my son’s account (the only account) and then created two account via the member admin form. Do I need to create a renewal form and use that to apply payment to the accounts?

Thanks, mbrsolution. Before I do that I have two questions: First question, should I issue refunds for the original PayPal transactions and start over? Secondly, do I create the accounts by registering for a free membership for each, as a nonadmin user would, or do I create the accounts as admin? Thanks!
