Staff users should encourage members and donors to re-enroll from the public site:

• Signing up as a recurring donor
• Signing up as a recurring member

To ensure public users can cancel their own enrollments, do the following:

1. Open the public-facing content record that contains the Automatic Payment Enrollments content item. Out-of-the-box, this is the Membership or Transactions content record.
2. Locate the Automatic Payment Enrollments content item. Out-of-the-box, this is renamed to Automatic renewal or Recurring donation .



3. Select Configure.
4. Enable Allow public users to cancel enrollments and enter a Public cancellation confirmation message.



5. Click OK, then click Save & Publish.
6. Repeat the process if there is a separate content item for recurring donations or membership renewals.
7. To send confirmation emails when members and donors cancel their enrollments, see Sending confirmation emails for recurring payment enrollments and cancellations.

When a member or donor navigates to their account page on the My Participation Membership or Transactions tab, they see the option to cancel their enrollment after selecting the View membership or View donation.

To direct users to instead cancel and reenroll, do the following:

1. Open the public account page for edit.
2. Locate the Payment Option Manager content item (located on the Preferences tab for out-of-the-box account pages).
3. Select Configure.
4. In the Description field, enter the message to public users, such as: If you need to update your payment method, we kindly ask that you first cancel your current enrollment, then reenroll with your new payment method. If you require any assistance, please reach out to our staff who are ready to assist you.



5. Click OK, then click Save & Publish.

Do the following to add a new payment method for an active enrollment:

1. Navigate to the member or donor's account page.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Membership enrollment: Click the Membership tab.
   • Donation enrollment: Click the Giving tab.
3. In the Payment option drop-down, select Add a new payment option.



4. Enter the required information for the new payment method and Choose another address if the new payment option has a different address.



5. Save the enrollment. The selected payment option is now associated with the recurring enrollment and will be used for future payments.

When adding a new card to an enrollment, the first and last four digits of the card are shown.

Payment options cannot be deleted if they are associated with at least one active recurring enrollment. Once a recurring enrollment is cancelled, and it was the only enrollment associated with the payment option, then the payment option can be deleted from the Saved payment options list.

Note: ACH/direct debits cannot be edited. To associate a new ACH/direct debit with a recurring enrollment, a new ACH/direct debit account must be added, then the recurring enrollment updated with that new payment option. The old ACH/direct debit account can then be disabled.

To edit an existing payment method, do the following:

1. From the contact profile page, click the Preferences tab.
2. From the Saved payment options panel, select the payment option you wish to modify and click the edit icon.



3. Modify the payment option by changing the Name on card, Expiration date, or address details.



4. Click Save & Close. Recurring enrollments associated with the payment option will now use the updated details.
