Membership: Member Plans

You can create plans to offer access to specific content on your site according to different plans. You can offer free and paid plans, restricting certain content to paid plans to encourage users to sign up for a higher level. For example, if you offered online writing courses, you could offer a select few on the free plan and the full library to paid members.

Note: The ability to offer a paid membership is only available on certain plans.
