A lifetime membership is a one-time purchase that gives a supporter ongoing access to your membership perks, without any renewals.
It can be a good option for creators who want to offer long-term access while receiving upfront support. For members, it means they don’t have to worry about monthly payments.
Steps to create a Lifetime Membership
Follow these steps to set up a lifetime membership:
From your dashboard, click on Memberships in the left side panel.
Go to the Levels tab.
Scroll down and click Create Lifetime Membership
Fill in the details like name, price, image, perks, and welcome note.
Click Create to make your lifetime membership live.
Pro Tip: Since this is a one-time payment, make sure the amount reflects the value of lifetime access to all the perks you offer.
