What is a membership?
- When you create a membership plan, you earn a fixed amount every month through recurring payments from each plan member.
- Any reader can immediately join a plan by clicking the “Subscribe to this plan” button and paying the monthly fee. The plan price is automatically charged every month until the member cancels their membership subscription or the creator ends the plan.
- Creators cannot reject a membership subscription or remove members.
- Creators can make posts visible only to members or provide extra benefits to them.
- If a channel allows comments from “purchasers/subscribers only,” members can read and write comments on all posts during their membership period.
After the membership period ends, members can only delete their comments from [Library] > [Comments]. - When you withdraw “membership earnings” earned from running a membership, the same 10% platform fee applies as for “post earnings.” [Earnings] shows your membership earnings.
Creating a membership plan
- You can create a membership plan by going to [Studio] > [Membership] > [Plan] and clicking “+ Add plan.”
- Maximum number of plans: You can create up to 5 plans per channel.
- Maximum number of members: You can set it from 0 to 100,000. (0 means unlimited)
- Plan price: You can set it between 1,000원 and 1,000,000원 in 10원 increments, and once it is set, it cannot be changed.
- Once you create a membership plan, all active membership plans will be shown on your channel.
Setting higher and lower-tier plans
If you have created 2 or more plans, you can set higher and lower-tier plans. When you set a lower-tier plan with a lower subscription fee under a higher-tier plan, members of the higher-tier plan will automatically gain access to posts for members of the lower-tier plan.
- In [Studio] > [Membership] > [Plan], select the higher-tier plan (the membership plan with the higher price).
- Under “Lower-tier plan,” click the “Set lower-tier plan” button and select the lower-tier plan.
- Only plans that are already active can be set as lower-tier plans.
- For example, if you want A-plan members to see only the main story, and S-plan members to see both the main story and side stories, set A as the lower-tier plan of S. Then publish the main story for A-plan, and the side stories for S-plan.
