A practical plan for recurring membership revenue
A paid store membership gives customers access to ongoing benefits in exchange for a membership fee. This course helps you decide whether that model fits your store, what customers would pay for and how to deliver those benefits sustainably.
Bring your existing store
Designed for Shopify merchants with customers and a product range. Start with the people who already buy from you and the value you can offer them repeatedly.
Leave ready to implement
Build a defined offer, a pricing worksheet, launch copy and a setup checklist. A setup demonstration shows how those decisions translate into Memberply.
This course focuses on paid access to store benefits. Product replenishment subscriptions and subscription-box logistics are different models. No revenue or profit result is guaranteed.
Four modules. One clear membership plan.
Work through the decisions that turn a membership idea into an offer you can deliver sustainably.
Price it sustainably
Work through membership fees, benefit costs, discounts and shipping allowances. Check what remains after delivering the promise.
Your deliverable: a pricing and margin worksheet.
Prepare your launch
Write your membership page, customer invitation and welcome message. Choose a suitable first audience and the signals you will measure.
Your deliverable: draft launch copy and a launch checklist.
Bring the plan into Memberply
Follow a complete demo-store setup, from the paid tier and benefits to the member experience. See how to put the concepts into practice.

Can every Shopify store use automatic recurring billing?
Recurring membership billing depends on Shopify and your payment gateway. Stores without a supported gateway may need one-time memberships and renewal reminders instead of automatic recurring charges.
