Configure earned membership tiers

Open **Clients > Membership > Membership Tiers**. The current admin interface requires an Enterprise workspace and appropriate group-management permission. Create the active client groups you intend to use before opening membership setup.

Build the earned program

1. Start membership setup and choose **Earned tiers** under Program type.

2. Enter **Program name**.

3. In Tier structure, select a **Base group**. The base group is outside the tier ladder.

4. Use **Add tier**, choose a different active Client group for each tier, and drag them into progression order.

5. In Qualification, select **Lifetime funding** or **Recent funding**. For Recent funding, set **Recent period (days)**.

6. Choose whether to **Count client wallet funding**, **Count staff-added funding**, or both. At least one funding source is needed.

7. Choose Currency and enter the qualifying amount for each active tier, increasing through the ladder.

Review before activation

Configure Client display and the expiry/downgrade policy, then review the full ladder. **Save draft** retains a draft. **Review & activate** validates the complete program and opens its review step; after checking every tier, choose Review & activate again on the Review step to activate it.

Operating the program

After activation, check Membership Settings and Review Changes. Automatic Updates determines whether qualifying changes are applied without staff review. A tier depends on the selected funding measurement; it is not a promise that every credit or order counts. If a client appears in the wrong tier, inspect funding sources, measurement period, group, and any protection from automatic changes before changing balances.
