Early-Bird Discount

A reduced dues amount for members who pay before an early deadline.

An early-bird discount lowers the dues amount for members who pay ahead of a set date, improving cash flow at the start of a term and rewarding prompt payers. It is the mirror image of a late fee: the chapter sets an early price, a regular price, and a late price, and the amount owed changes automatically as deadlines pass.

Dueflow is the free platform treasurers use to collect dues, run budgets, and manage chapter finances.
