What is Monetization?
Monetization in Honeycommb gives network owners a native way to earn revenue from their community without sending members to third-party tools or managing everything inside Stripe alone.
From the Control Center, you can;
Add on the Monetization addon (free)
Connect your Stripe account
Setup & activate subscriptions
Enable paid experiences like paid events
and view all payment activity in one place

Monetization Section
Once you've added the "Monetization Addon", and have connected a Stripe account, you will see...
Transactions
The Transactions table reflects all the transactions happening in your network and is a reflection of what is in your connected Stripe account.
You can view:
Transactions that are in progress
Completed payments
Failed transactions
Refunded payments
Each transaction includes detailed information so you can quickly see what was purchased, when it happened, and its current status, without logging into Stripe.
Subscriptions
The main Subscriptions area includes a table of all subscriptions: Active and Inactive Community Subscriptions and Group subscriptions. Clicking on any subscription allows you to manage its settings
Create new subscriptions by clicking the "Create New Subscription" button and selecting subscription type: Community Subscription -or- Group Subscription.

Promotions
The Promotions section allows network owners to create and manage promotions and promo codes directly from the Control Center.
With Promotions, you can:
Create promotions and promo codes members can apply during checkout
Offer percentage-based discounts (for example, 20% off)
Offer amount-based discounts (for example, $10 off)
Limit how many times a promo code can be used
Set expiration dates for time-bound promotions
and more...
All promotions created in Honeycommb are applied natively during the member checkout experience, making it easy to run campaigns, reward members, or test pricing—without adding complexity to your workflow.
Other features unlocked with Monetization
Once Monetization is turned on and your Stripe account is connected, new tools and sections become available across your Control Center.
Paid Events
When creating an Event, a new RSVP option becomes available. This makes it easy to run ticketed events, workshops, or one‑off paid experiences directly within your network.
