Sell a membership
Charge for any product monthly or yearly instead of once. Members keep access while they stay subscribed.
A membership is a way to price a product, not a new kind of product. Open the product, go to the Offer step, and set How buyers pay to Membership.

Settings that matter
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| How buyers pay | One-time for lifetime access, or Membership to bill on a schedule. |
| Monthly price | Charged every month. Leave it empty to sell yearly only. |
| Yearly price | Charged once a year. With both set, buyers pick on the page and see the saving. |
| Was price | Optional. Shows crossed out next to the monthly price, or the only price. |
| Include AI credits | Products with an AI chat only. None, 100, 250, 500, or 1,000 credits every month. Each costs you $0.04, taken from each payment. |
What your buyer sees
- The price with its interval, like "$9/month", or a Monthly / Yearly choice.
- Inside the product, a line like "Renews Oct 3" and a Manage membership button.
- Manage membership opens Stripe, where they change their card, see invoices, or cancel.
- If they cancel, access lasts until the end of the period they paid for.
- After it ends, the product opens to your sales page with a way to rejoin.
Good to know
- Eden keeps 5% of every payment, renewals included. Stripe's fee comes out of your share.
- Memberships also work on your own checkout link, with one price. Buyers then manage them in that checkout, not Stripe.
- Paid products start at $1.
- A discount code takes its amount off the first payment only. Renewals bill at full price.
- If a card fails, Stripe retries for a few days and access stays open. The customer row reads Payment failed meanwhile.
- Revoke access cancels the subscription and ends access right away. It can't be restored.
- Switching a product back to one-time doesn't touch existing members. One-time buyers keep lifetime access.
- Changing included credits only affects new members.
- Eden chat, The Product Builder, and the Eden MCP can set a membership price when you ask.
