Subscription Membership establishes paid subscriptions for a group. You will set one price for members to pay monthly. This feature is integrated with Stripe, the processor of the transactions. The app does not store any credit card information. The payment processing is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

Each group with paid memberships will establish a Stripe merchant account. If using the same email address, the Stripe merchant accounts will be connected in Stripe but operate separately in the app for every subscription membership group.  

New members will "Subscribe" to be admitted into the group. The required information are full name, email address, phone number, and  credit or debit card information. Upon subscribing, the first payment is processed. Thereafter, the fee is charged on or around the same day of every month using the same credit or debit card. Members can cancel or reactivate their subscription.    

PREREQUISITES

• You must be a group admin.
• The group setting is either: A) Privacy Setting = Private; or B) Private Setting = Private and Approval Required = On. If you have a private group and approval required is off/disabled, anyone can join the group by simply paying. If you want to vet new members, ensure that Approval Required is on/enabled. After approving join requests, then they will subscribe and pay the membership fee.
