# Why is the member discount pricing not working with certain categories?

## Problem

Sometimes, member discount pricing does not work with certain categories. For example, an item under a pricebook category might not receive the expected discount.

## Solution

Check the discount settings for the Membership type in question. You can then add a missing category to your membership type's discount settings or change the category for the items not receiving the discount.

#### Check the discount settings for a membership type

1. Go to **Settings ![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/why-is-the-member-discount-pricing-not-working-with-certain-categories-image-xc4sjkav.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T11%3A46%3A20Z&se=2026-11-09T12%3A46%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GW9unBhl9%2F4Z%2F1tlMR%2FHpkLaOYmsgCDa995vLHTrI8o%3D) > Invoicing > Membership Types**.
2. Click **Edit** for the membership type you want to check the discount settings for.
3. Click **Basics > Discount**.
4. Review the current discount setup. Three types of discounts can be applied to membership types:
  - **All Services**: The discount applies to all service task items added to the invoice.
  - **Business Units**: The discount applies to invoices if the invoice BU belongs to one of the selected BUs.
  - **Categories**: The discount applies to items that belong to one of the selected categories.

For more information on how each option is applied to invoices, see [Apply membership discounts](/residential-s-r/docs/apply-membership-discounts).

#### Fix the category for items

1. Go to the *Inventory* or *Services* section where your items are listed.
2. Find the items that are not discounting correctly.
3. Check if the items are in a category set to receive the discount.
4. If the items are not in the correct category, move them to the right category.
5. Create a new estimate or use an existing one to test the discount.
6. Add the items you're testing to the estimate.
7. Apply the membership discount to see if it now works correctly.

By following these steps, the membership discount should now apply to these items.
