Quick Start

Create the plan

Go to Memberships > Plans and choose Create Plan.

In Shape the offer, give the plan a clear name and choose how long access lasts:

• Lifetime access for a one-off purchase;
• Fixed duration for a set number of days;
• Mirror subscription when access should follow FluentCart billing;
• Monthly billing anchor when everyone renews against a calendar day.

Leave trials and advanced controls alone for the first test. They will still be there later, waiting patiently and judging nobody.

Choose what members receive

Continue to Choose content access. Add one post or page and make it available immediately.

You can add more items, community resources, categories, or a drip schedule after the basic journey works. Choose Review plan, check the summary, and create it.

Link a FluentCart product

Open the saved plan and select Linked Products. Choose Link product, search for the product or variation, and confirm.

The connection grants this plan after a successful purchase. Advanced stores can still configure Memberships integration feeds from FluentCart, but the plan editor is the friendlier place to begin.

Protect the content

Content added to the plan is already protected. To create a separate rule, go to Memberships > Content and choose Protect content.

The wizard asks for the content type, the exact resource, the plans that can open it, and a final review. Choose a friendly restriction message or teaser so visitors know what they are missing and what to do next.

Run a test purchase

Use a FluentCart test payment method:

1. place an order for the linked product;
2. complete the payment;
3. open Memberships > Members and find the customer;
4. confirm the plan appears as active;
5. visit the protected content as that member;
6. open the same page while logged out and confirm the restriction experience.

Check the workspace

Return to Memberships > Dashboard. The setup readiness should now recognise an active plan, protected content, and a product connection. The purchase also appears in recent activity.

Open the member profile to review access, dates, content progress, and any connected community context.
