A membership product on WithMe lets you charge members on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) in exchange for ongoing access to content, perks, or a community. You can create up to 3 paid tiers per membership product, all from your Hub dashboard. To add a free tier, create a separate membership product and set it to free.
š What Is a Membership Product on WithMe?
A membership allows creators to offer ongoing value instead of one-time products.
Common uses include:
Exclusive posts or content drops
Community access
Courses or learning material
Live sessions or updates
Free or paid memberships
š Important to Know Before You Start
Membership consists of tiers. Paid tiers are created within one membership product; a free tier is a separate membership product that you set to free.
Tiers can be hierarchical (stacked) or isolated.
You can edit tiers later, even after publishing.
How to Create a Membership Tier
Step 1: Go to Your Hub
Log in to your WithMe account: withme.so/login
From the left menu, click My Hub
Scroll down and click + Add Product
Step 2: Choose Memberships
Select Membership from the product list
Step 3: Set Up Tier Details
In the Details section, fill out the following:
Product title: Name your membership tier
Thumbnail: Upload an image that represents your tier
Button text: Customize the call-to-action (for example, Join now)
Click Next to continue.
Step 4: Set-up Checkout Page
In the Checkout section, configure how your membership appears and is sold.
Landing Page Setup
Add media: Upload up to 10 images or videos
Canva designs are supported and the best pick (the size auto-adjusts to the frame)
Add description: This appears below the media and product title on the Sales/landing page
Membership Hierarchy
Choose how this tier relates to other tiers:
Hierarchy (stacked tiers)
Higher tiers include access to content from lower tiers
Lower tiers cannot access higher-tier content
Best practice: Share content across tiers to avoid duplicate uploads while allowing some additional exclusive premium perks to the higher tier members
Isolated tiers
Standalone tiers with no shared content
Best for completely separate offerings
šNote:
1.)You need at least two active memberships to configure the hierarchy.
2.)This is a general setting that will affect all membership tiers. Changes made here will apply to your entire membership structure.
Pricing
Set a monthly price, annual price, or both
Members can choose their preferred billing option if both are enabled.
š Note on "Lifetime" access: In WithMe, "lifetime" describes the duration of access ā it means permanent, never-expiring access. It is not a billing descriptor and does not indicate recurring charges.
Add Membership tier Benefits
Choose what members get access to:
Click on "Add Benefits" and add up to 4 benefits
Select from predefined benefit options
Can't find what you're looking for? Add your own! Write custom perks in your own words using "Add your Own" at the bottom or "Custom benefit - write your own" option present at the top
Add messages as membership benefit
Click on "Finished Adding Benefits"
Examples:
Exclusive posts
Courses
Community access
Live sessions
Messages (Membership Benefit)
You can include Messages as a benefit in a paid membership tier to give members message access each month. If you want to offer free direct messaging limited to a specific community, create a free custom product with the direct message feature enabled instead.
When enabled, members receive a set number of messages every month as part of their paid subscription, making this a great premium perk for higher tiers.
How Messages Work
Select Messages from the benefits list when setting up a tier
Choose how many messages members receive per month
Message credits reset monthly as long as the membership is active
Why Use Messages as a Benefit?
Encourage direct engagement with members
Add clear, recurring value to premium tiers
Incentivize upgrades without adding extra content
š” Tip: Messages work best in higher-priced tiers where members expect more direct access or support.

Step 6: Set Up Optional Settings & Publish
Customize how your membership is delivered and monetized. These settings are optionalāenable only what makes sense for your membership setup.
Enable Free Trial (Optional)
Offer a free trial so users can explore your content before committing.
How it works
Use the dropdown to turn the 14-day free trial on or leave it set to No Trial
Members get full access during the trial
At the end of the trial, they are automatically charged unless they cancel
To disable trials, leave this set to No Trial
š” Tip: Free trials often increase conversions, but offering full access upfront may reduce immediate revenue.
ā ļø Important: The Free Trial setting is global. Setting it to "No Trial" on any one tier removes free trials from all membership products across your account.
Add a Free Membership Tier (Optional)
To offer a free tier, create a separate membership product and set it to free, rather than a paid tier.
Important to know
You create a free tier by creating a separate membership product and setting it to free, not by enabling a setting inside a paid tier's Checkout section.
Posts made to a membership product are visible to everyone at or above that tier level, so a free-tier product and the paid tiers above it effectively share the same posts.
What free members get
Access to free content
Email updates
A simple way for you to collect leads and convert them into paying members
ā Recommended for:
Creators building an audience or offering previews
Creators with a strong, consistent content pipeline
Businesses with a clear upgrade funnel
ā Not ideal for:
Established creators with high demand
Premium or exclusive content providers
Services that require significant 1-on-1 time
Community Access
Choose which communities members in this tier can access.
Select one or more existing communities
Or create a new community exclusively for this membership
When you create a new community:
The community name is taken from the product name
You can edit the name later from the product page
š Note: Categories and threads inside a single Community (Announcements, Q&A, Wins, etc.) are shared with every member of that community, and you can't lock a specific category or thread to a higher membership tier. To restrict community content to higher-tier members, create a separate Community product and include it only in the higher tier. Tier-based access control works at the Membership level, not within a single community's categories.
Publish Your Tier
Review your settings, then click Publish Tier to publish š Your membership tier is now live.
