Memberships

A membership website that keeps members paying

Sell monthly, quarterly or yearly access to your courses, content, community and calls.

Start on the Free plan. It stays free forever.

Quick answer

A membership website charges people on a schedule for ongoing access to your content, community or coaching. Bumbi gives you tiers, recurring prices, free trials and renewal reminders, and puts every benefit in the member's library at bumbi.io/access.

Selling one product at a time means starting from zero every month. A membership turns your best buyers into steady income: they pay on a schedule, and you keep giving them reasons to stay.

The hard part is not the idea. It is the admin: who paid, who is late, who should lose access, who asked to pause. Bumbi handles that part so you can focus on what members actually pay for.

What you can do

What you can do with Bumbi memberships

  • Tiers

    Offer more than one level, such as Basic and Pro. Higher tiers include everything below them.

  • Monthly, quarterly or yearly

    Set a price for each billing period per tier, and an optional setup charge at the start.

  • Free trials

    Give new members a set number of free days, and limit trials to one per person.

  • Benefits in one place

    Courses, content, community links, webinars, downloads and coaching, each assigned to the tiers that get it.

  • Renewal reminders

    Members get reminders before each renewal. WhatsApp reminders can go too, to members who opted in.

  • Grace period and pause

    A missed payment gets a grace period before access ends, and you can let members pause instead of leaving.

What goes into a good membership site

Members stay when they get something new or useful often, and when it is easy to find. Most strong memberships mix two or three of these:

  • A course library that grows. Link your courses as a benefit.
  • A community, such as a link to a WhatsApp group reserved for members.
  • Regular live sessions, such as a monthly Q&A webinar.
  • Downloads, such as fresh templates or presets each month.
  • Coaching for the top tier.
Example

A fitness coach. Sofia runs two tiers. Basic gets the workout course and a monthly download of new plans. Pro adds a members only WhatsApp group and a group coaching call. Members choose monthly or yearly, and the first seven days are free.

Subscription website or membership: which do you need?

A membership sells access to a set of benefits. A subscription sells a product on repeat, for example a new template pack every week or a fresh issue every month. Bumbi supports both. A subscription product can deliver a new drop each period or keep ongoing access open while the subscription is active.

Pick a membership when the value is the whole library and the people in it. Pick a subscription when the value is the next thing you deliver.

Membership site software that handles the boring parts

Late payments are where most memberships leak. Bumbi reminds members before each renewal, gives a grace period when a payment is missed, and ends access only after it. Members can pause if you allow it, which often keeps someone who would otherwise cancel.

Members manage everything from their library at bumbi.io/access, and buyers in other countries pay in their own currency where supported.
