Subscription is a feature that enables organizers to collect money regularly.
You can create membership plans for monthly or annual subscription periods for the members of your group, and you can also choose to add a registration fee.
Unless the subscriber cancels his or her plan, the subscription is automatically renewed.
<Note>
- Subscription cannot be used for support funds (fundraising, donations, etc.) that do not provide a return to the members participating in the group.Please include a clear description of the return in the plan.
Ex) Community Participation Monthly Plan
- Please include a link to your company's web page, the purpose of the subscription plan, and the benefits of membership in the terms of use.
- Subscription is not a system that automatically applies special member prices to tickets for events.
If you wish to use such a system, you will need to issue discount codes for each event and share it with your members.
When you hold an event that is open only to members, you can set privacy settings to share the event page only with members.
For more information on privacy settings, please refer to How can I manage my event privacy setting?
