A paid tier charges fans a subscription in exchange for perks. Use one when you want recurring support and have something extra to offer members, like exclusive content, products, or shipped merch.
Before you start: Make sure you've enabled the required Shopify customer account settings in your store before launching.
How to create it
In Single, click Community in the left-hand sidebar.
Click + Create Community.
Enter a name for your community and set a launch date and time. You can also add a presale date for early access and a member limit to cap signups.
Click Save and Continue.
Click Add Tier and select the paid option.
Upload a tier image. Drag and drop, or click to upload. Files must be .jpg, .jpeg, or .png and under 20MB.
Enter a tier name and an optional description.
Under Terms, set your pricing:
Term Length. Choose how long the term runs, like 1 Month.
Price. Enter the price in USD.
Renewal Message. Add a message shown to members at renewal, if you want one.
Renewal Date. Choose Same as Signup, or set an anchor date to bill members on the same day each cycle.
Click + Add Term if you want to offer more than one pricing option.
Click Add Tier to save, then Publish.
Optional customizations
While setting up the tier, you can also:
Welcome notifications. Customize the header, message, button labels, and a custom landing page after login. Leave them on default to use Single's messaging.
Wallet passes. Give members a collectible card for their phone's digital wallet. See How to set up wallet passes.
Advanced options. Apply an automatic Shopify customer tag, set a member limit, require a Terms & Conditions opt-in, or block signups if perks are unavailable.
Common questions
Can I change the price or term after publishing?
No. A tier's name, term, and price can't be edited once published. To change them, add a new tier. Other settings, like the image, description, and perks, can still be changed.
What's the difference between a term and a tier?
A tier is the membership level. A term is a billing option within it, like 1 Month at one price or 1 Year at another. One paid tier can have multiple terms.
