Paid memberships on Shopify: perks, pricing and access.
Sell a membership as a subscription. Chargezen bills it, marks who is a member, and takes the perks away when the membership ends.

The problem
A membership only works if the perks reach the right people. When members are tracked in a spreadsheet, people who cancelled keep their discount, new members wait for access, and your team spends its week fixing tags by hand.
Sell the membership like any subscription
Monthly or annual
Offer a monthly membership, an annual one, or both, as subscription plans on a Shopify product.
Paid upfront
Charge for a full year at once with a prepaid plan.
Membership with products
Sell the membership on its own or alongside the products members subscribe to.
Gift a membership
Let customers buy a membership for someone else, who then manages it themselves.
Membership that follows the subscription
Tag members automatically
A workflow adds your member tag to the customer when the membership starts, and removes it when it is cancelled or ends.
Members-only tiers
Make a VIP tier require an active subscription. Chargezen adds the tier's Shopify tag when a customer qualifies and removes it when they don't.
Digital access
Grant and remove access to content or apps based on subscription status.
Klaviyo and Shopify Flow
Tier changes are sent to Klaviyo and Shopify Flow, so your emails and automations know who is a member.
