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.
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.
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.
