Your online content can be protected and monetized through pricing plans, which create paywalls around your digital products. Here's everything you need to know about setting them up effectively:

Basic Requirements:

• Must have course pages, video pages, blog pages, or member sites
• Need Squarespace Payments or third-party processors (Stripe/PayPal) for paid content
• PayPal only works for one-time payments

Pricing Plan Types:

• Subscription: Regular payments (weekly/monthly/annual)
• One-time: Single payment or fixed installments
• Free: No cost, but requires account creation

Key Limitations:

• Maximum 500 pricing plans per site
• Up to 10 digital products per plan
• Each product can be in up to 6 different plans

Creating a Pricing Plan:

1. Open Page Panel
2. Select digital product
3. Click Pricing Plans > Create Pricing Plan
4. Add details, benefits, and pricing structure
5. Set sign-up dates
6. Add digital products
7. Click Create

Fixed Installments Setup:

3. Select payment frequency (weekly/monthly)

Multiple Pricing Options:

• Can offer two pricing options per plan
• Must use same structure (subscription or one-time)
• One-time plans can mix single payment and installments

Managing Plans:

Paywall Customization:

Best Practices:

Remember: Changes to pricing plans don't affect existing members, and members can't be transferred between plans automatically.
