A community for the people who bought from you

How people get in

1. 1

   Choose what opens it

   Any paid product can: a course, a file, a call, or a membership while it is being paid for. Free products too, if you want them to. A bundle holding one of them opens it as well.

2. 2

   They come in by email

   A member types the address they paid with and opens the link we send. That browser stays in for 90 days.

3. 3

   Checked on every visit

   Who bought what is read from your own Stripe account. A membership that ends loses access within five minutes, and a member you take out loses it at once.

What the community holds

• Up to 20 spacesEach with its own name and a line about what it is for. A space can be open to the whole community or kept for the buyers of the products you choose, and it can be yours alone to post in, with members still commenting.
• Posts with a picture, and pollsA title of up to 120 characters, up to 5,000 characters of text and one picture, which its writer can edit afterward, marked as edited for everyone. A post can carry a poll of up to 12 answers, one choice or several, with an end date if you want one.
• Comments, replies and likesComments of up to 2,000 characters, one level of replies, up to 300 under a post, and one like per member on each post and each comment.
• Points, levels and a leaderboardEvery like a member's post or comment gets from somebody else is one point, and points make 9 levels, shown beside every name. A leaderboard for 7 days, 30 days and all time. A space can open for posting at a level, and a level can hand over one of your courses, free, for good.
• Pinned posts and Start hereUp to three posts held at the top, and one post every member sees first.
• A live roomA room for talking while everyone is there, which keeps its last 500 messages. You can slow it down to one message every few seconds or minutes, keep web addresses out, keep it for your own messages, remove any message, empty it or close it.
• Private messagesMembers write to you privately, and to each other if you allow it. You can have a first message wait until the person it is sent to accepts it, and anyone can decline and not hear from that person again.
• One search boxPosts and every comment under them, the lessons of the courses a member has, the events, the people in the directory, the room and the member's own messages. Each result is shown only to somebody who may open it.
• Mentions and notificationsMembers mention each other with @. They are told when somebody mentions them, comments on their post or answers their comment, in the community and, if they allow it, as a notification on their computer or phone.
• AnnouncementsPosts labeled as yours. On Pro they can also go by email to the members who checked the box for it, with a one-click unsubscribe.
• Live eventsWorkshops and Q&As on the community's calendar, with RSVPs, reminders, a private video room in the page and replays.
• Welcoming new membersUp to three questions every member answers once, before their first post or comment, read only by you. And a welcome message sent privately from you on their first visit, when private messages are on.
• A member directory they opt intoMembers choose the name they are seen by and whether to be listed. Their email address is never shown to other members.
• Reports and moderationMembers report a post or a comment and it lands in your queue. You hide it, delete it, mute a member or take them out.
• Limits that stop a spammerEach member can make 5 posts an hour and 20 a day, 30 comments an hour, and 10 picture uploads an hour. You are never limited.
• In your store's lookYour theme and color, and part of your store's installable app. Nothing in it is kept offline on a device.

What creators use it for

• A course with a cohort

  Students of the course post their work and questions, and you answer where everyone can learn from it.

• A paid monthly club

  Open it to a membership, and whoever stops paying stops seeing it, without you lifting a finger.

• Coaching clients

  A space for wins, a space for questions, and your announcements pinned at the top.
