With your community subscription products, you have the option to include or exclude "Premium" features. These features might offer subscribing members access to exclusive content, special events, unique groups, and premium menu items.
Available Product Features & Benefits
For each community subscription product, you can choose from a list of available premium features and benefits to include or exclude. They are;
Follow Members
Comment & Reply (on posts)
Create Content
Create Livestreams
Premium Content
Direct Messaging
Premium Events
Verified Profile
Premium Groups
Premium Menu Items
Other (add your own by using "Displayed Benefits")
Follow Members + Comment & Reply (on posts)
These features are offered to every subscription by default for the simple reason that each community subscription product must offer something to members.
Create Content
Put a paywall on the + (post) button in your applications. Note that this feature will be available to all community subscription product subscribers *until* you make it a premium feature of at least one community subscription product.
Livestreaming
As a subset of "Create Content", you can include or exclude the ability for your members to use your network Livestream creation feature, available in the iOS and Android applications only.
Premium Content
Mark content in your network as "Premium" to provide subscription members with access to exclusive content. Members without a subscription will see posts marked as "Premium" and will encounter a pixelated, unreadable image instead of the actual content. Clicking on these posts will prompt a paywall for non-subscribers.
Direct Messaging
A great way to prompt members to subscribe to a paid subscription is to make direct messaging a premium feature. Note that this is not possible if you have turned off the direct messaging feature in Community Settings > Feature Settings.
Note that this feature will be available to all community subscription product subscribers *until* you make it a premium feature of at least one community subscription product.
Premium Events
Like "Premium Content", Premium Events put a paywall on an event that you mark as "premium". To learn more about how to create an event, read: "Events: Create & Edit".
Verified Profile
Like Twitter (X) and other social networks, sell verification through a subscription. This will mark the member's profile as "Verified" wherever they are represented in the system. Note that you can change the word "Verified" in the system to change the concept of what verified means. For example, changing the word "Verified" in the system to "Supporter".
Premium Groups
Add any number of Premium Groups to a community subscription product. When members subscribe to the community subscription product, they automatically join the group, and the group is then represented in their side menu.
You must first create Groups whose group type is "Premium." To learn more, read "Groups: Create & Edit".
Premium Menu Items
Like premium groups, add as many Premium Menu Items as you like. Premium Menu items will be hidden until the member subscribes to a community subscription product that gives them access to the premium item(s).
