deliver you a mini series this mini series will be released every wednesday until we complete our paid membership website here in wix and you’ll get to look forward to that content at 8 30 a.m mountain standard time every single wednesday so make sure to hit that subscribe button and turn those bell notifications on so you get notified as soon as it comes out because it’s only coming out once a week and i know you want this content i know you
need this content in fact not only you but 200 000 plus people just like you in this incredible community are waiting for this content so make sure to hit that subscribe button and turn those bell notifications on so you don’t miss it and you’ll plug into the largest wix training community on the internet the moment starts now okay ladies and gentlemen we are in our wix editor what we are going to cover in our first video is getting the basic
infrastructure of the initial sign up process built out now it’s important to note that each of you are going to have unique individual membership style websites you’re all going to have different types of content you’re all going to have different types of sites in general with maybe some of you are going to have paid member forums paid member blogs paid member access to you know live streams paid member access to content whatever that may be
you’re all going to have different style membership websites but the fundamental functionality is the same the content you deliver and the design you add to it is different and unique to each of you but what we’re going to go through is the core fundamental aspects to building this paid membership website and we’re going to do it off of the back of the wix paid plans app which is newer app that allows you to add different membership tiers member
permissions and allows you to restrict pages based off of certain membership access that people have now whether you’re going one basic style membership with maybe one annual fee or one monthly fee or you’re doing three different membership tiers all have different pricing all have you know monthly annual whatever that may be it does not matter this system works the same and applies to all of those different aspects you just have to follow it and
replicate it for each of your tiers and each of your different aspects so what we’re gonna do to start this series off is we’re going to start by going to add apps and we’re going to enter the wix app market and then what we’re going to type in is paid plans and then you’re going to see pricing plans this is pricing plans by wix and what we’re going to do is we’re going to go ahead and add to site which is going to verify it’s then going to start
adding our pricing plans to this site once we get here what we see is a pricing plans page it’s called plans and pricing it adds it as its own separate page okay so that way when people are going to subscribe to your site to become a member they’ll be able to see all of your different plans here if you only have one plan only one plan will show here these are the default plans that come with the app they can be changed they can be deleted they
can be altered um with that said if you have three four five six different plans here it’ll show all of them and they’ll all be able to be selected uh by whatever the user decides to ultimately go with now if we click settings here what will happen is it will pull up basically the design setting so we’ll be able to choose what is shown on this page is everything shown header name tagline benefits do we want to highlight a plan if so which one do
we want to highlight do we want to add a disclaimer that auto renewal will be on for each of these plans that’s up to you you don’t have to and then you can go through and you can change your layout text design but we’re not focusing on design in this series we’re focusing on functionality and getting your framework and infrastructure built out to ensure that you have a fully functioning paid membership website so what we’re going to do is we’re
going to go up here to main and we’re going to go to manage plans is now going to take us to our wix dashboard in which it’s going to open our paid plans app in here we have the ability to create new plans as well as viewed our view archived plans if we have archived certain plans to start what you’re going to want to make sure you do is you create your plans when you’re doing this aspect of your paid membership website you have to really sit
down and think about what your plans are and what type of access people are going to get with each plan you really truly have to plan this out no pun intended but with that said what i would really strongly encourage you to do is before you hit this portion and you start building out your plans come in with a prepared list with that list name out what each of your plans look like what the prices are associated with is it an annual plan is it a
monthly plan is it different membership levels and each tier has access to different things what are the prices of each of those plans what access do people get and having it complete an entire list of what that looks like otherwise what you’re going to end up doing and this is fine in the long haul if you decide you know what you’ve been running your site for a little bit now it’s running well people are subscribing but you want to add another
plan that’s fine but in the beginning if you don’t do that and you don’t plan it out you’re not going to have a clear and concise infrastructure design for what needs to happen next you’re not going to know what pages you need to create you’re not going to know what access people need to have and then you’re gonna just be running around like an unorganized chicken with your head cut off because you don’t have an actual plan of what your site
needs to look like and what it needs to have functionality wise so please before you start this next step make sure you have that if you’ve got that prepared what you’re going to do is you’re going to create a plan this is where you start to enter your plan information so you start by entering your plan name i’m just gonna give this a basic plan and we’re gonna call this ruby membership okay so this is gonna be our ruby membership you can add a
tagline if you’d like and then right here is where you’re going to list all the benefits included in this plan so for instance if the ruby membership is maybe a mid-level tier maybe they’ll get access to one monthly membership call they’ll get access to certain content they’ll get access and you you have to spell out what that content is they’ll get access to the forum and that’s it so what you would do is you would come in here monthly member
call then you would add more you would type in select content again make sure you actually tell them what type of content it is don’t just say select content make sure you spell it out people want to know what they’re paying for before they do it and then put maybe member forum and those are the benefits they get with that membership in particular next is an important portion this is your pricing and duration this is where you can choose is this
a free plan is it a one-time payment so maybe it’s a 495 dollar payment and it’s a um until cancelled so every er er it’s just a 495 dollar payment so it’s one up front fee that’s it until it’s canceled so when it’s done their membership is good until it is cancelled you can decide the length of plan so maybe that 495 one-time fee is only valid for membership for two years after two years they no longer have access to their membership unless they
renew and pay that amount again that’s how that would work so that’s what the one-time payment structure is like on the inverse of that you have reoccurring payments so reoccurring payments maybe you’re going to keep that 495 price but your payment frequency is going to be yearly so instead of every two years every year that 495 dollars is going to be deducted from their account and it’s going to keep their membership and maybe you can choose how
long the plan is maybe for two years so that’s a two year plan and every year 495 dollars is going to be deducted so they’ll have membership for two years but there will be two payments of 495 deducted each year for their membership and if you wanted to you can even enable a free trial maybe you want to give people the ability to get in get to know your community your membership base and mess around with some of the features you offer because
some in some cases that actually helps them take the next step and really fully commit to the price that or the investment i should say that they’re going to be making in your membership so you can select a free trial maybe you want to give them 14 days free trial to get in get to know your membership kind of get familiar with your content maybe have a member call so they can see what that’s all about and then have them commit after those 14 days
they’ll be charged and their membership will start that’s always a good method it may or may not be the method you want to use and i’m certainly not advocating either way it’s totally your call on that and you know your market best so you’ll have to determine what fits right for your market after that happens what you’ll do is you’ll see plan policies so there is an option to make only one purchase per person and as you can see here if you want
to show this only one person will be able to make this purchase per plan if that makes sense so it’s it’s limited to one person not multiple people on one plan in addition to that here’s your plan policy text i strongly encourage you to actually take the time even maybe consult some legal advice to do this this is where you’ll spell out the details of your free trial renewal policy cancellation policy and refund policy if you do not take the time
to do this step you will have people that will cancel you will have people that will ask for refunds you will have people that didn’t know that your plan was going to renew and it will renew and you’ll have to deal with that and you will have people that didn’t realize the free trial was done and they actually wanted to cancel if you don’t have details spelling out what your policies are you’re not protected as a website which means you’re now in
at really at the mercy of the user if they tell you they want their money back and you have no policy spelling that out technically they need to have their money back i mean because you never spelled out that there are no refunds allowed or their cancellation policy is 30 days upon x or whatever that looks like so make sure you take the time to actually plan out your plan policy text and then click save when you click save you have now created a
plan and if we now click this x button you will see our plan is now added here to our page and we have the ruby membership now what will happen is if someone comes here to enter this plan they will click start free trial you will see view checkout on your published site because you can’t view it in preview mode so what i’m going to do is i’m going to go ahead i’m going to publish the site for purposes of testing and i’m going to view the site but
i have to go back to our home page and add a button that will redirect us to our payment plans and pricing page what i would recommend you do is i would recommend you have a sales page or a landing page specific to your membership with a a button that redirects back to that plans and pricing page like a buy now or start your membership now button on your sales page or membership page as you can see for testing purposes for base functionality i
just have my home page and i’m going to add a button on my home page right so it’s going to be very simple straightforward for you you’re going to want to have an actual sales page or landing page where people can learn more about what they’re committing to become a member of before they actually take the next step and there’s a whole bunch of sales page design technique and psychology that you’re going to want to research and think about when
actually building that out but i’ll leave that to you and on your own research now i’m going to go ahead and i’m going to link this to our plans and pricing so now when i publish the site and go back to it i will be able to access our plans and pricing so i’ll click that okay so i’m a new prospective member here i just went through your sales page not really i don’t have one built out but let’s just figuratively speak i went through your sales
page i decided i wanted to become a member and here’s our membership options it looks like i can become a ruby member and every year it’s valid for two years and there’s a 14 free day trial so i want to start free trial perfect it’s going to have me now sign up or log in if i haven’t already become a member on this site i’m obviously going to need to sign up so i would sign up and i’ll just sign up with email and i’ll just say test at tets.com
and i’ll do test one two three four five so if you really wanted to sign up under my fake user go ahead um then you would press sign up and then you would sign up and then now it’s gonna tell you we’re not able to accept online payments at the moment there is a reason for this this is because you have to enable a payment method on your which website which i am now going to show you how to do as we’re going through the initial setup of your paid
plans paid membership website so to enable um your payment processor what you need to do is you have to go to your sites i’m gonna come in here and you’re gonna have to go to your website dashboard okay so you’re gonna go to your website dashboard i’m entering it now and what you’re gonna need to do is first and foremost in order for you to accept payments on your website you have to upgrade to a business and e-commerce plan in wix this is a
non-negotiable doesn’t matter which of the business and e-commerce plans you select select the one that’s going to be best for you but you have to have a business and e-commerce plan once you upgrade to that and you get your domain and your hosting you’re going to go to settings and you’re going to go down to accept payments when you go to accept payments this is where you have the ability to choose your payment processor you can come in here and
connect with any of these so wix has their own fully integrated payment processing system now which is pretty nice and everything runs straight through wix but it’s still new and it’s not as intuitive anywhere near something like paypal or stripe it’s still very basic but it does the job it allows you to choose your payout schedule all that kind of stuff then you have paypal you can integrate with paypal alipay pinwheel manual point of sale
doesn’t matter i’m not going to select the which one right now because when you select the which one you have to go through and get approved from them it’s an instant approval it’s really easy you’ll have to insert all of your business information ein business address all that good stuff you would press connect me and i’ll just connect with paypal and it says we’ve connected these payment methods now i’m gonna set up an account to activate i
already have an existing paypal account i’m gonna block this part out so you don’t see it okay so what i did there was i connected my paypal account and had me sign into my current paypal account approve and agree transactions from wix to paypal in terms of people actually going from which to paypal to purchase and then back to wix and then you can see i am now active on checkout which means i’ve connected paypal we’re set we’re ready to go so
now if we go back to plans and pricing and i refresh this we now have the ability to go ahead and pay with paypal and we would press buy now and then what would happen is it’s gonna go ahead it’s gonna load and it’s gonna have you sign in to your paypal account or pay with a debit or credit card to actually purchase your membership and then what’s gonna happen is it’s gonna i’m not actually gonna purchase the membership right now and then what’s
gonna happen is it’s gonna redirect you back to your website however when it redirects you back to your website you’re going to want to have a members area on your website what i’m going to do is i’m going to show you how to add the members area and the next steps after payment processing in our next part next wednesday and we’re going to touch on building out the members area the registration sign up functionality the login all that good stuff
