Troubleshooting: Subscription Not Showing on Gladstone Go

Problem

A membership does not appear on the Go Join pages, or joining fails at the end with "Unable to add member", even though the subscription exists in Plus2.

Root Cause

A subscription must be configured correctly in three places (Plus2, the 360 GMC and Operator) before it will appear on Go Join. A missing tick, price level, status or tag mapping in any one of them, or cached data in the browser, stops it showing.

Resolution

  1. Work through the quick checklist in order

    #CheckWhere
    1Purchase via web ticked and the site ticked on the Web tabPlus2 subscription type
    2Price product has the right price level ticked on the right calendar, and only one price levelPlus2 price product
    3Joining/admin fee product has the same price level tickedPlus2 fee product
    4Price level and Status set on the subscriptionGMC > Gladstone 360 Front of House > Sub Types
    5Mapped to a tag in each group, with a unique pathOperator > Configuration > Member Management > Memberships > Membership Types
    6Site is web visibleOperator > Configuration > Sites
    7Browser (and if needed server) cache cleared; testing on the right environmentBrowser / Gladstone support
  2. Check the subscription in Plus2

    • Go to Configuration > Financial > Subscriptions > Subscription Types and open the subscription.
    • Tick Purchase via web, and on the Web tab tick the site the subscription is sold at.
    • Not a display fault, but check while you are there: if members will upgrade or downgrade to or from this subscription in 360, Automatic Pro Rata Refund must be ticked on the Creation/Renewal tab (see Configuring Gladstone360 Front of House Settings in the GMC).
  3. Check the price product in Plus2

    • Open the price product behind the subscription (shortcut: copy the product ID from the subscription's Products tab, then go to Configuration > Financial > Products, paste the ID and click Modify, the third icon).
    • On Prices, the correct price level must be ticked on the correct calendar (for example, Standard).
    • Tick only one price level on a membership price product. If several are ticked, Go cannot decide which one to give a customer who joins online.
    • Give each subscription its own price product; where prices differ, use a separate subscription and price product (a tag cannot select a different price).
    • Check any joining fee / admin fee product attached to the subscription has the same price level ticked.
  4. Check the subscription in the GMC

    • Open Configuration Manager > Configuration and choose Gladstone 360 Front of House from the dropdown (this replaces the older Join at home configuration; settings and discounts work the same way).
    • Use the menu next to Configuration > Sub Types and find the subscription.
    • Click the ellipsis (…) on the subscription and check the Price level matches the one ticked in Plus2 and a Status is assigned (for example, Current Member). Go uses these to set the price level and status when someone first joins. New subscriptions often miss this step, and without it they will not show on Go (and Operator cannot generate a deep link for them).
    • Decide on a consistent status approach (for example, a generic Current member status, or a status per membership tier) and apply it to all online subscriptions.
  5. Check the mapping in Operator

    • Go to Configuration > Member Management > Memberships > Membership Types (on some versions Configuration > Memberships > Member Types; you can also search "Sub" in Configuration) and find the subscription by its name or ID.
    • Check it is mapped correctly: member type, duration, facilities, site, peak/off-peak and individual/family.
    • Check no other membership uses the same path. Operator will not save a duplicate path; if an old membership already holds it, remove the tags from the old one first. Where two memberships end up sharing a pathway, Go shows the highest price for both.
    • If a tag was deleted while still mapped, the membership's mapping is locked (greyed out) until support fixes it.
    • If the membership has a future sale date, Go shows the earliest start date; that is not a fault.
  6. Fix "Unable to add member" at the end of joining (if applicable)

    • Usually the subscription's price product has more price levels ticked than the one that should buy it. For Go, tick only the intended price level (for example, just Concession for a concession subscription).
    • Removing ticks on live can break existing customers still on old price levels. Plan a data change with Gladstone to move them to current price levels and subscriptions first.
  7. Refresh Go

    • Changes may not show because the browser holds cached data. In the browser press F12 > Application > Storage > Clear site data, then refresh.
    • If changes still do not show, Gladstone support can clear the cache on the Go server.
    • Check the URL: test environments include "test" in the address, so make sure you are testing where you made the change. Live-to-test copies are made on request; changes in live do not flow to test automatically.
    • Test in the test environment first, then repeat in live.
