What This Screen Does

This is where you update an existing drop-in type (a pay-per-visit membership card). Think of it like editing the details on a pre-paid pass that your members buy to visit your gym a set number of times. You can change the name, how many visits it includes, pricing options, which classes it grants access to, and more. Once you save, the changes take effect immediately.


How to Get There

  1. Open the dashboard.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click Drop in type.

  3. Find the drop-in type you want to edit in the list.

  4. Click on it to open the detail view, then click the Edit button (or click directly on the edit icon if available).

  5. You are now on the Edit Drop-In Type screen.

Troubleshooting

“I filled everything in but the Save Changes button does not work”

  • Double-check that all required fields are filled in. The form will not submit if anything is missing.

  • Look for small red error messages below the fields — they tell you exactly what is wrong.

  • Make sure you have uploaded a cover image. This field is required.

  • Ensure the number of clips and validity in days are both at least 1.

“I do not see the Regular Price or VAT rate fields”

  • When editing an existing drop-in type, the price and tax rate fields are hidden. These are only available during creation.

  • To manage prices, go back to the drop-in type’s detail or list view where price management options are available.

“I cannot find the Limit training hours toggle”

  • This feature is only available on Premium or Platinum subscription plans.

  • If your chain is on a lower plan, this toggle will not appear.

  • Contact your account manager to upgrade if you need this feature.

“The welcome email dropdown is empty”

  • Only email templates of the Drop In type are shown here.

  • You need to create an email template first. Go to Email Templates in the menu and create one with the type set to “Drop In”.

  • If you already have templates but they do not appear, make sure they are saved with the correct template type.

“I do not see any contracts in the dropdown”

  • Contracts are loaded when the page opens. If the list is empty, try refreshing the page.

  • If there are still no contracts, you need to create one first under the Contracts section.

“My cover image did not upload”

  • The image must be a JPEG, PNG, or GIF.

  • It must not exceed the maximum file size allowed by the system.

  • If the drop-in type was saved but the image failed, come back to this edit screen and try uploading again.

“I toggled on Limit lock access but I do not see the lock selection”

  • The lock selection only appears if your system has locks configured.

  • If no locks are set up, the entire lock access section will not be visible.

  • Ask your administrator to configure locks under the Gym settings.

“I got an error after clicking Save Changes”

  • A red error message will appear. Read it carefully — it usually tells you what went wrong.

  • Common causes: missing required fields, server timeout, or network issues.

  • If the error is unclear, try again. If it keeps happening, contact support with the error message.

“The Available in gyms field is missing”

  • This field is only shown when creating a new drop-in type, not when editing an existing one.

  • Gym availability for existing drop-in types is managed separately from this screen.

“I set training hours but members can still access outside those times”

  • Make sure the Limit training hours toggle is turned on.

  • Verify that you have added training hour rows for every day you want to restrict.

  • Days without a training hour entry will fall back to the gym’s default opening hours.

  • Changes take effect immediately, but members who are already checked in will not be affected until their next visit.
