Frictionless Membership Purchase via Public Booking Flow

Feature Request: Frictionless Membership Purchase via Public Booking Flow As an anonymous public user, I want to buy a membership while booking a court online, so that I can instantly get member pricing on my reservation without completing a separate, tedious registration process first.

Objective: Allow anonymous public users to select, purchase, and activate a club membership during the streamlined standard public booking checkout flow that supports one page checkout, apple pay, etc, without forcing them to create a full account first.

The Problem (User Friction): Currently, the public booking flow is strictly for one-off guest reservations. If a guest realizes mid-booking that they want to buy a membership to get better rates, they must abandon their cart, navigate to the Member Portal, create an account, log in, purchase a membership, and then restart their court booking. This high friction causes cart abandonment and lost membership revenue.

Proposed Solution (The Ideal Flow)

1. Upsell Entry Point: On the public booking calendar or checkout screen, display a prominent toggle or banner: "Join as a member today and save $X on this booking!"
2. Inline Selection: The user can select an available membership tier directly within the checkout screen.
3. Unified Checkout: The system calculates the new member rate for the court, adds the membership fee to the cart, and processes a single credit card transaction.
4. Automated Account Creation: Upon successful payment, the system uses the guest's email and contact info to automatically provision a Member Account and emails them a link to set up their password.

Business Value / Impact

• Higher Conversion: Converts casual public guests into recurring, revenue-generating members at the exact moment of peak intent.
• Reduced Friction: Eliminates the multi-step account creation bottleneck.
• Increased Revenue: Drives immediate membership sales and increases customer lifetime value (LTV).
