Create a one-time payment membership tier

The first step is to create a one-time payment membership tier.

1. From the left sidebar, click Membership Tiers.

1. On the right side, click Add New Membership Tier.

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

1. Enter a description for your membership tier.

1. Select One-Time Payment as the method to charge customers.

Once you click Save and Publish, the billing method is locked to protect existing members. You can update everything else, but if you need to change this locked setting, create a new membership tier and remove or disable the old one.

1. Enter a membership cost. We recommend setting this to the cost of 1 year of membership.

Once you click Save and Publish, the membership cost is locked to protect existing members. You can update everything else, but if you need to change this locked setting, create a new membership tier and remove or disable the old one.

1. Now add an expiry on the membership benefits for 1 year.

1. Enter an early bird discount value as an incentive for members to renew their membership. You can select either a percentage off discount such as 10% off, or a fixed amount discount such as $10 off.

1. Enter when the early bird discount is valid until. We recommend making this 1 day after the membership expires. This allows all 3 renewal reminder emails to be sent and gives the member a chance to renew with the discount if they do not get to their emails in time.

1. Click Save and Publish.

1. Once you have saved your membership tier, click View Product to see the membership product on your storefront.
