Payment options
Payment options are part of the Membership plans to provide a method of Payment.

Each Membership plan can be given multiple Payment options.
In most cases, giving Members an option to pay by Direct-debit or Paid-in-full is standard. Payment options can be applied to all, or specific Branches if required.
