There have been many requests for additional options and services on our E-commerce platform, and here goes the first part of our updates.<\/p>\n

1. Now, you can offer your network members not one, but multiple subscriptions.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This way, you can create several membership subscriptions at different prices. Network members will be able to choose a subscription when signing up.
\nWith the help of this option, you can also provide members with access to different sets of content.<\/p>\n

For instance, you can offer your network members Silver, Gold, and Platinum membership subscription. You can name them whatever you want and set up as many subscriptions as you want.<\/p>\n

Each subscription can let network users see only particular content.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note! If you want to set multiple membership subscriptions that will provide access to different sets of content, please use \u201cMultiple PayWall\u201d<\/strong>. This option will allow network members to get access to all the content hidden behind the PayWall with a single payment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo, how can you actually create Multiple Subscriptions?<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a Multiple PayWall in E-Commerce > Products > PayWalls.<\/li>\n
  2. Give the PayWall a name you want to use for your Subscription (e.g., \u201cBasic\u201d, \u201cPro\u201d, \u201cGold\u201d, \u201cSilver\u201d, etc.)<\/li>\n
  3. Add the PayWall to all the content you want to include to this membership subscription.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the PayWall to the membership subscription.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    For instance, you offer Silver and Gold Membership Subscription.<\/p>\n

    You create a Multiple PayWall and name it \u201cSilver\u201d. Next, you add it to Articles\/Lessons and Forums on your network.
    \nThen, you create a new Multiple PayWall and name it \u201cGold\u201d. You add it to the same Articles\/Lessons and Forums plus additional content, such as Videos and Audios.
    \nYou can also create, for instance, a Single PayWall (i.e., \u201cPlatinum\u201d) that will provide network members with access to the whole network and all its content without any limits.<\/p>\n

    It is better to fill in the PayWall description field to describe what exactly each subscription can offer. This text will be displayed on the payment form.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    2. You can set free access to your network for chosen members even if the rest of the current and prospective members have to pay for membership on your network.<\/span><\/strong>
    \n<\/span>
    \nYou can add e-mails of current and prospective network members to the list in the Free Access block. These members will not have to pay for membership on your network and will not see the payment form when signing up.
    \nThe same way, you can also add a group of members<\/strong> who will get free access to your network.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>
    \n3. You can also set free access to your network for those members who give a particular answer to the registration question.<\/span><\/strong>
    \n<\/span>
    \nYou can provide with a free access to your network all the users who give a particular answer to a Profile Question.
    \nSet the question and all the variants of an answer in the General Settings>Profile Questions.
    \nChoose \u201cMultiple Choice\u201d and tick the option \u201cAssign members to a group based on their answer on sign-up\u201d.
    \nNote! You cannot create a new group on this page. The group should be created beforehand.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Now, you can simply add the group to the Free Access block on the Privacy page.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    This option will allow this group of network members free access to the network.
    \nHowever, if you want to use a Multiple PayWall and want these users to get free access to paid content as well, you can set up this option in the bottom of the editing page of the content.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    This option can be useful if you want to provide free access to a certain group of members to a few chosen pages of your content.<\/p>\n

    4. You can also create a Member Category that can ease your network managing process.<\/span><\/strong>
    \n<\/span>
    \nYou can let a certain member category see closed pages of your website and\/or let them add their content to certain pages.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Automatically divide your network members into different categories according to their answer to the Profile question when signing up to your network.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    You can create a Member Category in Member Management section which you can find on your green Admin panel. On the same page, you can assign all network members who pay the selected paywall to a chosen category. Simply tick the correspondent checkbox in the bottom of the page. When the paywall expires, members will be excluded from the category.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    As you can see, you have plenty of options to monetize your content. We hope you will find these options useful and they will help to make your network prosper further!
