A membership turns a subscription into a members area on your store: posts only members can read, a community where they talk to each other and to you, and the products they get while they stay subscribed.
Memberships are part of the Pro plan and above. You can read your memberships, moderate the community, archive and delete on any plan; creating, editing and posting need Pro.

Set it up

1

Create the subscription offer

In Subscriptions, create what members pay: for example 12/monthand12/month and 120/year. They are normal subscription offers, so checkout, receipts and the subscriber portal work as usual.
2

Create the membership

Go to Memberships → New membership, name it, tick the offers that make someone a member, and tick the products (courses, downloads, links) members can open. Choose whether the community is on and whether members get an email for each new post.
3

Share the members area

Your members area lives at https://<your-subdomain>.pocketsflow.com/members/<slug>. Anyone who isn’t a member sees what the membership includes and a Join button for each offer.

Who is a member

Anyone with a live subscription to one of the membership’s offers (active, in a free trial, in a payment retry window, or paused) is a member. It is checked on every request: when a subscription is canceled, expires or is refunded, the members area closes for that person at once. Their saved sign-in link opens the join page again.

How members sign in

The members area runs on your storefront, which never asks buyers for a password. A member enters the email they subscribed with and gets a sign-in link by email (valid 30 days on that browser). Every “new post” email also carries a sign-in link. The answer is the same whether or not the email is a member, so nobody can find out who subscribes.

Posts

Write in Memberships → your membership → Posts. Posts support headings, lists, quotes, links, code and images. Pin a post to keep it at the top of the feed. When you publish, members get one email with the title, a short excerpt and a Read the post button. Members who turned post emails off, unsubscribed from your emails or bounced are skipped, and nobody gets the same post twice.

Community

Members start threads, reply and react (like, love, insightful). Threads and replies are plain text: any HTML is removed. To keep things calm, each member can post at most 5 threads, 30 replies and 200 reactions an hour, and posting the same text twice in a row is refused. You moderate from the Community tab:
  • Pin a thread to the top, lock it to stop new replies, hide it (members no longer see it, you still do) or delete it.
  • Hide or delete a single reply.
  • Ban an author. A banned member keeps your posts and included products while subscribed, but can’t read or write in the community. You can also hide everything they wrote in one go. Lift a ban from the Members tab.

Members

The Members tab lists everyone who subscribed to the membership’s offers, with their status (Active while a subscription is live, Ended after), their subscription status, when they joined and whether they get post emails. Filter by active, ended or banned, or search by email or name.

If your plan changes

If your plan no longer includes memberships, members keep reading: posts, the community and included products stay open (read-only), and you can still moderate. New posts, new threads and replies wait until you upgrade again. Archiving a membership closes its members area; deleting it removes its posts and community. Neither cancels anyone’s subscription.

For developers

Everything here is in the public API and the MCP server: see Memberships API. The member.joined and member.left webhooks tell your app when someone becomes or stops being a member.
