Memberships and subscriptions: how to bill the same people every month under your name

- 2It renews on the same day each month
- 3Payments arrive without chasing
Creators, clubs, coaches and communities all have the same need: the same people paying every month, reliably, under the creator's brand rather than a marketplace's. The memberships template does exactly that.
How it works
A member joins on your page, chooses a plan and pays. Each month the renewal runs, the member gets a receipt, and your console shows who renewed, who lapsed and what each member earned you. Failed payments retry and the member is told.
What you set
Plans and prices, a trial if you want one, and your fee. On 1,240 members at £9 a month, a 10% platform fee is £1,116 a month to you.

Compared with the marketplaces
Patreon and Substack are named as reference points only. They keep a share of every member's payment and the members are theirs. On your platform the members are yours, and so is the fee.
Launching
Free to design as the full business account platform, or the payment links and subscriptions alone.

Proration calculator →Can members pay by card and by bank?
Yes.
Can I export my members?
Yes. They are your customers.
Do I need a licence for memberships?
Billing for your own membership does not need one. Holding members' money or paying it out to others usually does, and we tell you which applies before you launch.
What happens when a member's card fails?
The renewal retries, the member is told, and your console shows who lapsed so you can follow up.
