Create a Free Community Tier

How to set up and publish a free tier for your community.

A free tier lets fans join your community and access your content without a subscription. It's the great way to nurture your fanbase and build your mailing list.

šŸ›‘ Before you start: Make sure you have enabled the required Shopify customer account settings in your store before launching.

How to create it

  1. In Single, click Community in the left-hand sidebar.

  2. Click + Create Community.

  3. Enter a name for your community, set your launch date, and click Save and Continue.

  4. Click Add Tier and choose the Free option.

  5. Upload a tier image. Drag and drop, or click to upload. Files must be .jpg, .jpeg, or .png and under 20MB.

  6. Enter a tier name.

  7. Add a tier description if you want one.

  8. Click Add Tier to save.

Optional Customizations

While setting up the tier, you can also:

  • Welcome Notifications: Customize the welcome emails, button labels, and signup messages fans see when they join. Leave them blank to use Single’s default messaging.

  • Digital Club Cards: Turn on Wallet Passes to give your members a collectible, scannable card for their phone's digital wallet.

  • Advanced Options: Apply automatic Shopify customer tags based on the tier, set a member limit, or require a Terms & Conditions opt-in at signup.

Common questions

What size can my tier image be?

It must be a .jpg, .jpeg, or .png under 20MB.

Can I edit the tier after publishing?

A tier's name, term, and price can't be edited once published. Other settings, like the image, description, and perks, can be changed. Since a free tier has no price or term, only the name is locked.
