Membership
Offer a free or pay-what-you-can membership
Use a sliding scale so members choose what they pay, from zero up, or make your membership free.
Let members choose any amount within a range you set, or join for free.
When to use this
- You believe in sliding-scale or donation-based access.
- You want a free membership to grow your community, and sell offerings separately.
- You want to remove price as a barrier while still inviting people to support you.
Open Pricing
Go to Business → Pricing, on the Pricing tab.
Use a range
If you see Pricing Tiers, click Switch to Range under "Prefer a Simple Price Range?".
Set your range
Enter a Minimum Price (USD) and Maximum Price (USD), in whole dollars:
| You want | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Pay what you can, from zero | $0 | Your top amount, e.g. $50 |
| Sliding scale with a floor | Your floor, e.g. $15 | Your top amount, e.g. $60 |
| A free membership | $0 | $0 |
Add a yearly discount (optional)
Enter an Annual Discount (%). It's "Applied when members select the annual billing option."
Save
Click Save Changes.
Tips
- Anchor the range. A maximum gives people a sense of what full support looks like. Prices can go up to $3,000.
- Say what the money supports. A line in your bio, which shows at the top of your pricing page, like "Pay what feels right. Higher contributions keep spaces open for others" helps people choose.
- Free still collects information. Add a pre-subscription form to learn who's joining.
- Free members still get your welcome. Set up a welcome email.
Changing your range applies to new subscribers only. People who already joined keep paying what they chose.
What your members see
On your pricing page (https://bringsoul.life/portal/<your-handle>/pricing), a slider under Choose your monthly price that runs from your minimum to your maximum, with "Every amount opens the same space." When both monthly and yearly billing are offered, they also choose how they're Billed. They click Continue · $X/month, create an account or sign in, and pay on the next page with Subscribe · $X / month. With a $0 to $0 range, they join without paying.
