Start selling
The shortest path to charging inside the community, in the right order: payout account approved, billing options, plan, unlocked spaces and a checkout test. With a worked example.
Selling on Memberfy follows an order, because each step uses the previous one. This is the shortest path to your first subscription.
Role: owner or admin.
1. Register who gets paid
To sell, the community needs its Business Information approved (your details or your company's) and its bank account approved. The review takes up to 7 business days, so start here:
- Settings › Business Information: fill it in and click Submit for Review.
- Settings › Payout Settings: the account, in the same holder's name.
While the review runs, you can do steps 2 to 4: the billing options start as Draft and are ready to publish. Setting an option to Active waits for approval. See Business information.
2. Create the billing options
Monetization › Options › Create billing option, one for each way of paying:
| Option | Price | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Student · Monthly | R$ 49 | Monthly |
| Student · Annual | R$ 470 | Annual in installments, up to 12× (coming soon) |
In each one: the Payment Methods (PIX, card, boleto) and Who Pays the Fees? (the form opens with Buyer; change it to Organization if the community is going to absorb the fee). See Billing options.
3. Create the plan
Monetization › Plans › Create Plan: the name (Student), a description of what the member gets, the benefits, and tick both options. See Plans.
4. Unlock the spaces
For what's only for paying members: the section or space with Private visibility, with the plan under Who gets in › Plans (or Subscribers, for any plan). Whoever pays gets in on their own; whoever cancels leaves at the end of the period. See Visibility and access.
5. Test and promote
- With the Business Information approved, switch the billing options to Active.
- Sign in with a member account and open
/pricing. - Check the plan, the prices and the annual savings.
- Go as far as the PIX step (without paying) to confirm that payments are active.
- Promote your community's
/pricingaddress.
See Checkout.
How much you keep
The platform fee is 6.99% + R$ 2.49 per charge, the same for every method, and each payout costs R$ 3.67. See Platform fee.
| Sale | Fee | The community keeps |
|---|---|---|
| Student · Monthly, R$ 49 | R$ 5.92 | R$ 43.08 per month |
| Student · Annual, R$ 470 | R$ 32.85 + R$ 2.49 = R$ 35.34 | R$ 434.66 per year |
With 100 students on the monthly option: R$ 4,900 in sales, R$ 592 in fees and R$ 4,308 per month for the community.
