# Create your membership program

**Setup time is approximately 1 minute**

Start with a single membership tier so you can launch fast. You can always add more tiers later after your membership is live. In this step, choose how much members will pay, how often they will be charged, and what happens to benefits when they cancel.

1. From the left sidebar, click **Membership Tiers**.

2. On the right side, enter a name for your membership tier, for example **VIP Club**.

5. Enter the price for your membership tier. If you want to keep launch simple, start with one clear offer and one simple price.

{% hint style="info" %}
Using a payment gateway that does not support Shopify subscriptions? Some gateways, such as Mercado Pago, Razorpay, PayTR, and some Klarna setups, do not support Shopify subscription billing. If that applies to your store, you can still run your membership using a one-time payment tier and renewal reminder emails. [See the workaround](https://help.memberply.com/how-to-offer-subscriptions-with-non-supported-payment-gateways-in-shopify).
{% endhint %}

7. Select what happens when a customer cancels their membership. Their benefits can either end immediately or at the end of the billing cycle.

8. Optional: add Shopify customer tags for this membership tier. These tags are added to customers when they become active members of this tier. Enter multiple tags separated by commas, for example **Gold member, VIP**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Memberply still manages its own internal customer tags and customer segment separately. Use your custom tags for your own Shopify workflows, automations, and customer segments.
{% endhint %}

9. Click **Save and Publish**.
