Online Store- Selling Membership Access in Your Store

S
Written by Swift

Introduction

Membership products let you sell access to exclusive, secure content on your website. This is perfect for online courses, tutorials, video guides, or any gated resources you want to monetize. Customers who purchase a membership are automatically added to specific Member Groups, giving them access to restricted pages and content.


Creating a Membership Product

Go to Store → Add Product → Membership.

Enter the following product details:

  • Title

  • Description

  • Product Image

  • Price

  • SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)

  • (Optional) Additional Information


Assigning Member Groups

  • Select the Member Group(s) that this product grants access to.

  • Once a purchase is successful, the customer is automatically assigned to these groups.

  • Any pages or content restricted to those groups will immediately be available to the buyer.

  • You can assign multiple groups (e.g., Basic, Deluxe, Premium).


Custom Thank You Page

  • Set a Custom Thank You Page for membership products.

  • This page can:

    • Confirm the purchase.

    • Direct buyers straight to their new exclusive content.

    • Provide login or navigation instructions.

  • Using a custom page improves the customer experience and reduces confusion.


Categories & SEO

  • Organize membership products into categories and subcategories for clarity.

  • Customize the Product URL for a clean, branded link.

  • Add an SEO description to improve visibility in search engines.


Cloning Membership Products

  • Use the Clone feature to quickly duplicate memberships with similar settings.

  • Adjust the title, description, price, or assigned groups to create tiered memberships.


Current Payment Options

  • Memberships are currently available as one-time purchases.

  • Recurring payments (subscriptions) will be available soon.


Best Practices

  • Create clear membership tiers (e.g., Basic, Pro, VIP) and explain what’s included.

  • Always redirect to a custom Thank You Page that guides customers to their content.

  • Use descriptive names for Member Groups so you can manage access easily.

  • Test the full flow (purchase → assignment → content access) before going live.
