Pre-Opening Payment Clarity This section is important. Put it near the pricing and also near checkout. How Pre-Opening Membership Works Your Founding 50 purchase reserves your spot as one of Elev8’s first 50 members. Recommended wording: Your first month’s membership payment reserves your Founding 50 spot. Ongoing monthly billing will begin when the club opens for member play. As we finalize the opening timeline, Founding 50 members will receive direct updates about soft opening opportunities, schedule details, and launch events. If the opening timeline changes, we will communicate updates directly with Founding 50 members. This is where you should be very clear. Do not let people think they are paying monthly before they can use the club unless you intentionally choose that model.
