Once you’ve\u00a0activated<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0Paid Access<\/a>\u00a0feature, you can set up paywalls to charge for membership to your Ning Network. From your network’s dashboard, click on the “Paid Access” link under Settings to get to the Paid Access home page.<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

If you would like to first learn a bit more about Paid Access, you can click the “Best Practices Guide” where you can get more in-depth information about the feature\u00a0in a downloadable\u00a0PDF. Click “Create New Paywall,” choose Site Membership in the lightbox and click “Create Paywall.”<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

On the next page, set the prices you want to charge for your Ning Network. You can choose to have members pay a fixed price or a\u00a0donation<\/a>. You can then specify the prices based on the term of the membership below. All along the set up, you can click\u00a0on the “Best Practice Tips” button\u00a0in the upper right-hand corner if you’re unsure what might be best for your network. Once you’ve made your selections, click “Continue.”<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

The second step is to customize the message that will be sent to your members. Some suggestions are already in the boxes for you and you can refer to the “Best Practice Tips” for more help. You can click “Preview” to see the message as it will appear to members. Click “Continue” once you’re done customizing the message.<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

Third, choose how the paid membership will impact existing members of your network. You can have existing members never need to pay, give them free access for a period of time, or have them\u00a0pay, starting with their next visit with no special treatment. The “Best Practice Tips” include a number of helpful points\u00a0to make sure you pick the option that works best for your network.<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

Finally, review all of the selections you’ve made for your network membership paywall. If you would like to change any of your choices, click the “Edit” link next to the setting you’d like to change. If you’re happy with your settings, click “Publish” to activate\u00a0the paywall and then “Confirm” in the lightbox to confirm.\u00a0Note that once you publish your paywall, you can still edit these settings except you will not be able to edit how existing members are treated by the network membership paywall<\/strong>. If you’re not quite ready and you’d like to publish this Paywall sometime in the future, click “Save for Later.”<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

Once you publish your Paywall, it will be added to\u00a0your list of paywalls. You can make changes to your paywalls by clicking “Edit.”<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

After creating the paywall for membership to your Ning Network, you can\u00a0edit settings for individual members of your network by clicking on the Subscribers tab from the Paid Access home page. You can choose whether to comp a member so that they don’t have to pay for network membership or you can extend an existing comp.<\/p>\n

\"Charge<\/p>\n

Note that Administrators of your network will not be exempt from paying unless they are comped by the Network Creator, as the Network Creator is the only one\u00a0who can activate and edit the Paid Access feature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Paid Access feature is tied to your billing account, so the currency you are set up to pay for your network subscription in is the currency which your members will be charged for any Paid Access membership fees in. These are the currently supported currencies:<\/p>\n

USD, GBP, Euro, Australian Dollar, Mexican Peso<\/p>\n

Please note that if your billing account is set up in another currency, you will not be able to use this feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
