Membership types and pricing
You’ll need: Membership types, Currencies — if you cannot see these, the module may be switched off for your business or outside your permissions. An administrator can change either.
Your tiers are the shape of your organisation as members experience it. Getting them right is mostly restraint.
Prices per period, per currency
Each tier can carry daily, weekly, monthly and yearly prices, each behind its own switch, and each holding an amount per currency your organisation accepts.
Enable only the periods you actually offer. A tier with all four enabled and two filled in presents a confusing choice to someone deciding whether to join.
The usual pattern is monthly and yearly, with yearly cheaper per month — the discount buys you a year of certainty and saves eleven renewal conversations.
Rank orders the tiers
Rank decides the order tiers appear in. Order them the way you want them read — usually cheapest to most expensive, or entry tier first.
This matters more than it sounds, because most people choose from the top two options presented. The order is a recommendation whether or not you meant it as one.
Max profiles: who is actually taking part
Max profiles caps how many sub-accounts a member at this tier may create.
The case it exists for is a family or a business joining as one member with several people participating. A household membership with four profiles means four people each tracking their own course progress and their own activity, under one paid membership.
Set it to one for an individual tier. Set it higher where the tier is genuinely for a group — and be deliberate, because it is the difference between a family membership and four people sharing one login, which is the outcome you get if the tier does not support what people actually need.
Fewer tiers than you think
The commonest mistake is too many tiers. Every tier is a decision you are asking a prospective member to make, another set of prices to maintain across currencies, and another rule in every gating decision afterwards.
Three tiers that clearly differ beat seven that shade into one another. If you cannot say in one sentence who each tier is for, you have too many.
Description does real work
The description is what someone reads while deciding. Write what the member gets, not what the tier is called — “access to the monthly workshops and the members’ directory” rather than “premium benefits”.
Try it
On staging.feeprime.com, build three tiers with monthly and yearly prices and different max profiles, then view them as a visitor would when joining. Reading your own tiers cold is the fastest way to spot which ones are indistinguishable.
