Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this article when setting up paid or free memberships, bundling courses, or connecting memberships to checkout pages, funnels, or websites.

Core Concepts and Definitions

What Is a Membership Product?

A Membership Product is a course that lives inside the Memberships area.
It contains modules, sub-modules, lessons, quizzes, and other learning content.

Members can only access a Membership Product if it is included in an Offer they have purchased or been granted.

What Is an Offer?

An Offer defines:

  • Which Membership Products are included

  • The price (one-time, free, or paid)

  • Visibility (Draft or Published)

Offers control what content a member can see after purchase.

Example:

  • One Offer = multiple Membership Products for a single price

  • Another Offer = one Membership Product at a lower price

Members only see the products included in the Offer they purchased.

What Is a Payment Product?

A Payment Product is created under Payments > Products.

It is used to sell access through:

  • Websites

  • Funnels

  • Checkout pages

A Payment Product connects checkout to access by linking to a published Offer.
Once linked, purchasing the Payment Product automatically grants access to all Membership Products in that Offer.

How Membership Access Works (End-to-End)

  1. Membership Product = the course content

  2. Offer = defines price and which products are included

  3. Payment Product = connects checkout to the Offer

Once payment is completed, no additional setup is required.
The member is automatically added to the correct Membership Products.
