Before configuring a membership plan, you must first have a membership product(s) set as a product in your store. There are two ways you can do this:
Method 1: Creating the product in your Shopify Admin
Go to the Product section in your Shopify Admin and click to add a product in the upper right-hand corner.
You will need to enter some basic information for your product, including a title, description, an image, and an appropriate price. Keep in mind that a membership product is a digital product, so ensure that the physical product toggle is off in the Shipping section.
To create different variants of your membership product, navigate to the Variants section. Here, you can define different aspects of your product.
Variants are related to different renewal frequencies. For example, we will add 3 types of frequencies, monthly, quarterly, and annually. If needed, different images, pricing, and quantities can be assigned to different variants. When you are finished, hit Save in the bottom right to finalize.
Your product and variants will be set in Shopify.
Method 2: Creating the product inside Plans & Perks in Appstle
Note: This method will only work when creating a brand new plan.
After clicking to create a new membership plan in this section, click the button pictured below.
This will reveal new fields for the URL for the membership product, the price, the description (optional), and an image URL (optional).
You will now need to fill out the rest of your membership plan's details, including the renewal rate, any trials/discounts you are interested in configuring, etc. For more information on this, please refer to part 2 here.
After hitting Save, the product will automatically be listed in your Shopify Admin, and by extension, your store under the URL you wrote out.
