# Day Pass Fee for Non-members
### Overview
The Day Pass Fee for Non-members is the resolution for the free-ride problem, charging Non-members who join a Member's Reservation. It's configured through [Court+](https://docs.podplay.app/owners-playbook/new-to-podplay/pricing-models/court+-model) pricing ([Bill Splitting](https://docs.podplay.app/payments/customer-payments/bill-splitting)) and is only available for Clubs located outside of the EU and UK.
#### How It's Triggered
A Reservation holder [invites a friends](https://docs.podplay.app/reservations/customer-books-a-reservation#invite-friends-to-the-reservation) who is a Non-member, and the Day Pass Fee is charged at Check-in — either via [QR code](https://docs.podplay.app/overview/how-to-use-the-check-in-button) or the [Unlock Door](https://docs.podplay.app/overview/open-door-autonomous) button at Autonomous venues.
#### The Booking Flow
The Customer sees the Non-member Fee on the Order Summary page, the last page before completing the booking.
Once the Reservation is booked, the Reservation Holder is prompted to invite friends. The notification that a Non-member will incur the Day Pass Fee only appears when the Reservation Holder is a Member — it does not appear when the Reservation Holder is a Non-member.
If the Reservation Holder is a Non-member, no Day Pass Fee applies to their invitees. The Non-member Reservation Holder already pays a higher cost per hour, split among Reservation participants, so adding a Day Pass Fee on top would increase the amount charged beyond the already higher Non-member rate.
When a friend accepts an invite, a confirmation pop-up.
It tells them they're required to pay the additional Non-member Fee.
Once accepted, the Reservation Holder can review their invites, which also note the Non-member Fee.
#### During Check-In
Which invite the Reservation Holder sends determines who is charged the Non-member Fee at Check-in:
* **Paid invite (they pay)**: the Reservation Holder is telling their friend to cover their own spot. The invitee is charged the Non-member Fee when they check in.
* **Free invite (you cover)**: the Reservation Holder is covering their friend's spot for free. The Reservation Holder is charged the Non-member Fee when they check in.
#### Admin Verification
Because the fee is charged at Check-in, all Customers in a Reservation need to be checked in for the correct party to be charged. Admins can review this at a glance from the Overview page of the Dashboard: a green checkmark on a Reservation means everyone is checked in. No checkmark means the Admin should open the Reservation and use the Check-in toggles for each attendee.
