    For now, this is not something we’re going to change – not sure if ever.
    Workaround to use: create a special “entry” free level to apply to, and close “normal” ones for application. For the entry level, create also a dropdown field where a potential member can choose a level they want to apply to. Add other fields you need to assess the application. When application is successful, your admin is to change membership level to required one and generate membership invoice (membership upgrade invoice). The member will be emailed with the invoice and can pay.

    I created a post here:

    http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308929-general-discussion-and-questions/suggestions/8823826-don-t-want-applicant-to-pay-joining-fee-until-appr

    and copied my first post below. I'm amazed this hasn't been a more requested feature. It also combines with the problem of PayPal Recurring payments and Joining Fees to become a real barrier to client uptake :(

    Our membership is structured as follows:

    Joining Fee $150.

    Yearly sub $200.

    I would like the applicant to apply for membership but not pay the joining fee until they have been approved.

    I've unchecked the following checkbox:

    Payment has to be received in full before membership is activated
    If unchecked, approved memberships activate immediately, regardless of payment status"

    But it still shows the normal pay online directions.

    I can see this causing chaos with applicants paying the fees regardless of whatever text I write.

    Then we have to manually refund them....

    Is there any way around this?
