### As many tiers as you need,

Tiers can follow a ladder, where a higher level includes everything below it, or stand independently as separate plans with no upgrade path between them.

### Bundle courses and downloads into one plan

A tier isn’t limited to one type of content. Include courses, digital downloads, or a mix of both in the same membership level, so a single subscription can cover everything a member needs.

### Show members what they’re paying for

Each plan card displays the features you’ve added to that tier. A full comparison view lists every item across all tiers, courses and downloads included, so members can see exactly what separates one level from the next.

### Monthly, annual, or both

Set monthly or annual pricing on each tier, or offer both and let members choose. Annual pricing gives you a way to reward longer commitments without building a separate discount system.

*Tier rules*

## Flexible upgrades and downgrades

*Membership changes don’t have to follow one fixed rule.*

### Control exactly when a change applies

Membership changes don’t have to follow one fixed rule. Set upgrades to apply immediately, with a charge collected right away if the new tier costs more. Set downgrades to apply at the next renewal, so a member keeps what they’re paying for until the billing period ends, or apply them immediately if that fits your model better.

### Ask before a change goes through

For either direction, you can require a confirmation from the member before the change applies, instead of switching their plan automatically.

## How it works

### 1. Define your tiers

Decide how many levels you want and whether they follow a ladder or stand independently.

### 2. Assign content and pricing

Add the courses and downloads each tier includes, then set monthly, annual, or both pricing.

### 3. Open membership sign-ups

Members pick a tier, pay through your own Stripe account, and get access immediately under the rules you’ve set.

## FAQs

#### Do tiers have to follow a strict upgrade order?

No. You can build tiers as a ladder, where each level includes the one below it, or as independent plans with no required sequence.

#### Can a tier include both courses and downloads?

Yes. A tier can bundle any combination of your courses, digital downloads, and audio/streaming products.

#### What happens when a member upgrades?

It applies immediately, with a charge collected right away if the new tier costs more, unless you’ve set it to require confirmation first.

#### What happens when a member downgrades?

By default it applies at their next renewal, so they keep current access until the billing period ends. You can change this to apply immediately instead.

#### Can I offer both monthly and annual pricing on the same tier?

Yes. You can set either or both for each tier you create.

#### Do you take a cut of membership revenue?

No. We charge no platform transaction fees. Stripe’s standard card processing fee applies to each payment.

## Build your tiers, set your rules, get paid every cycle
