At present, Member Matters assumes that members will subscribe for the duration of a set period and that charging will follow that period and renew accordingly.
At Make Monmouth we are looking at offering a "Pay As You Go" (PAYG) offering where it would be a set amount each time someone turned up, but they would not need to pay a monthly amount.
It would be good to be able to manage this via Member Matters.
Describe the solution you'd like
A user should be able to register with Member Matters as normal, and complete any induction course etc, but then only pay for the events that they attend.
I would prefer this not to include the need to setup memberbucks as our accountant considers that to be "extending a line of credit" and it is therefore accounted for in a different manner to our usual membership fees.
Ideally, this would be advanced permission to create a new transaction for a given amount once each 24hr period when a member using PAYG swipes their ID badge at the front door.
Describe alternatives you've considered @jabelone discussed this on Discord:
It doesn’t currently. A sneaky way you could do that is use the new interlock billing feature. Probably won’t be a great UX but you could connect a door as an interlock and enable a start up cost for it. What would be far better is a proper pay as you go system. I don’t think it would be too difficult. Perhaps if enabled on your instance, anyone without an active subscription can swipe at a door, and if they have enough member bucks they are debited and given access for X hours. Or would a prepaid ie you have to enable and pay for a 24hr membership before you rock up option work better?
You could actually nearly do the prepaid option in the current system. All we’d have to do is create a flag on a billing plan to set once off as false so stripe doesn’t renew it. It already supports X days, X weeks or X month length options so you could just setup say a 1 day plan without auto renew (if we added that flag) and I think it would mostly meet your requirements.
Whilst I am confident these would probably work in the short-term, in our case we'd need it to be part of the membership system rather than via memberbucks for the reasons mentioned above

I've been thinking about how we implement this and I'd like to propose the following:
Update the ENUM for payment plan types to add an "AdHoc" or "Each" option
Update the code for RFID-card logins to check the plan type that a user has, and it if matches an "adhoc" plan, trigger a payment via Stripe for the appropriate amount
I don't want to start coding this up as a solution until we're agreed on a way forward, so would appreciate comments/thoughts/pointers on where this might be improved and if there are better places in the codebase to add this feature.
