A member contact is automatically created for each visitor who subscribes to your packages. Manage and view these members through the Contacts panel under Lists and Segments.

View Member Information

  • Access the Lists and Segments panel and click Members
  • Sort members by name, email, and other details
  • Click individual members to view subscription history
  • Access Full Profile for complete contact details and site engagement

Refund a Membership

  1. Go to Content and Memberships > Orders
  2. Select the specific order
  3. Click Issue Refund and enter amount
  4. Complete the refund (member retains access)

Cancel a Membership

  1. Navigate to Lists and Segments > Members
  2. Search for the member
  3. Select the package to remove
  4. Click Remove from Member List and confirm

Note: Cancellation immediately revokes access to protected content. For billing cycle access retention, let members cancel themselves.

Managing Client Accounts

  • Members use login links in main navigation
  • Encourage logging into existing accounts when subscribing
  • Cannot transfer packages between accounts
  • Only members can modify their saved payment methods

Email Notifications Site owners, administrators, and shop managers receive notifications for:

  • New subscriptions
  • Recurring payments
  • Failed payments
  • Membership cancellations

Contact Members

  • Individual: Click member's email in Lists and Segments
  • Bulk: Create mailing list for email campaigns

Migrating Members Since manual member creation isn't possible, consider these options:

  • Offer discount codes for free/reduced memberships
  • Create password-protected early access
  • Send email campaigns with clear instructions

For seamless transition:

  1. Create special discount codes
  2. Set up password-protected signup pages
  3. Notify former members via email campaign
  4. Include clear signup instructions

Remember that members must personally subscribe and create their own accounts using their email addresses.
