# Make content free for members, paid for others

> Give your paying subscribers free or discounted access to an item or collection while everyone else buys it.

## When to use this

- You want a real perk for subscribing: _"members get the full library free"_.
- You still want non-members to be able to buy single pieces.
- You'd like members to pay less rather than nothing.

## How it works

Every item and top-level collection can carry two prices: a Regular Price for everyone and a Subscriber Price for your paying portal subscribers. Set the subscriber price to $0 to make it free for them.

**Step 1: Keep it Public**

Open the item or collection and make sure Visibility is Public, so non-members can see it and
buy it. (Private would hide it from them completely.)

**Step 2: Open pricing**

For an item: open the item page and click Edit on Pricing. For a collection: click Edit on the
collection page, then Proceed to Pricing.

**Step 3: Set the regular price**

Click Add Price and enter what non-members pay.
**Step 4: Add the subscriber price**

Click Add subscriber price and enter `0` for free, or a lower amount for a member discount.

**Step 5: Save**

Click Save. The card now shows the price plus Subscribers free (or Subscribers $X).

## Tips

- Mention it on your membership. A line like _"Members get every meditation free"_ in your [membership pricing](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/membership-pricing) description makes the perk visible.
- Check as a subscriber. In [My Portal → Design](https://portal.bringsoul.life/portal), use Preview As → Subscriber to see what members see.
- You can add a discount to either price with Add discount, for example a launch offer only for non-members.

**Warning:** 
This matters most on collections. If a paid collection has no Subscriber Price, subscribers are
treated like everyone else and asked to pay. Always set both prices.

## What your members see

- Subscribers see the item as free for them and click Claim Free Access. One click and it's theirs.
- Everyone else sees the regular price and Buy Now, plus the subscriber price, which nudges them to subscribe.
