What is a lifetime membership?

Discover the benefits, setup process, and key differences from regular memberships.

Updated over 2 months ago

A lifetime membership is a one-time payment option where subscribers become members forever. It’s a win-win situation because creators can earn big upfront, and members enjoy all the perks without worrying about renewals.

How to create a Lifetime Membership?

You can create a lifetime membership level if you have at least one membership already set up.

Navigate to the membership page

Log into your account and go to the dashboard. Click on the "Memberships" section, then open the "Levels" tab to view your current membership levels. Scroll down and click on "Create Lifetime Membership" to get started. This will open the setup page where you can begin customizing your membership level.

Fill in the membership details

Enter the details, such as name, price, image, rewards, and a welcome note. It's just like setting up a regular membership level, and you can refer here for more tips if you need them.

Launch your lifetime membership

After reviewing all the details and making any final tweaks, click the "Create" button. Your lifetime membership will now be live and available for supporters to join.

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.
