Set a first month price on a membership
Charge less for a membership's first month, like $5 to start, then the full price after that.
Open your membership's Offer step and turn on Set a first month price under First month price. Enter what the first month costs, then save. Every month after that is the full price.
Add a first month price
- 01
Make it a membership
On the Offer step, give the product a monthly or yearly price.
- 02
Turn it on
Under First month price, turn on Set a first month price and enter the First month amount. It must be less than the price and at least $1.

Click Save. The offer card now shows both prices.
On a yearly membership the setting is called First year price and it lowers the first year.
What buyers see
- The offer card says "$5 for the first month, then $30/month".
- Checkout shows the full price crossed out and "$5 first payment, then $30/month".
- The pay button says "Start membership · $5 today".
- Renewals charge the full price. Nothing else changes for them.

| Sale | Same as a code: whichever first payment is lower wins. |
| Free trial | The free days come first. The first month price is the first charge. |
| Monthly plus yearly | Only the monthly choice gets the first month price. |
