How to Create a Recurring Membership Product

What is a Recurring Membership?

You have the ability to charge your customers a recurring fee to join your membership! Many Stan Creators use this functionality for monthly coaching packages, newsletters and more.

Steps to Create a Recurring Membership Product

Choosing the Product

1. Go to My Store and Click + Add Product

2. Choose the Recurring Membership product

Editing the Thumbnail

3. Choose how you'd like the thumbnail/button to display on your storefront. You can select and style and add an image.

Editing the Checkout/Landing Page

4. Select an image for the header, and write up a title and description for your checkout/landing page. This is what your customers will see when they click into the actual product!

5. Confirm your pricing! Just a heads up, Add Discount Code, Limit Quantity, and Offer Payment Plan are only available on our Pro plan.

6. Confirm what information you'd like to collect from your customers and add additional fields if you'd like!

Finalizing Your Options

7. Add Customer Reviews

8. Edit your Confirmation Email. This is what your customers will receive once they'd purchased and booked the call with you.

Recurring Memberships Ideas

• Monthly group coaching calls
• Membership Community access
• Online training videos
• Weekly or monthly texts/ emails
• Access to digital products, such as eBooks or guides
• A combination of all of these options!

Recurring Membership Payment Types

The customer will be charged automatically at the beginning of each billing cycle. The billing cycle is dependent on when they purchased the membership and can be set up in a lot of different ways (i.e. weekly monthly). For example, if a customer purchased your membership on Feb. 15 and you've sent a monthly billing cycle, they'll be charged the 15th of every month.

You will be able to select between the following payment recurring increments:

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Annually

You can also set a duration or auto-cancellation date for your memberships. For example, you can set the membership to cancel after X months and your customers will no longer be charged.

The customer will also receive a payment confirmation email when they've been charged where they will have the option to update their payment method or to cancel their membership. 

Where to Locate Your Members

1. Go to the Audience tab in the left hand side. 
2. In the filters, click on Active Subscription and choose which of your subscriptions you want to see. This should show a list with all of your active members!

Success Tip

Whenever someone joins your membership, automatically add them to your exclusive email list (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Flodesk, etc) using Zapier and automatically remove them when they cancel their subscription as well.

🚨 Please note:

• Bi-weekly recurring payments are not available at this time. In addition, we don't currently support the ability to set a specific billing date (i.e. if you want your customers to be charged the 1st of every month).
• If you cancel your Stan account, you'll need to manually cancel your customers' membership subscriptions or they'll continue to get charged.
• This is not a Payment Plan feature as your customer will have the option to cancellation their membership at any time. If you want to learn about our Payment Plans feature, go to this article.
