Membership Community Platform

Charge for access to the space your members value most. Set your own plans, decide what each one unlocks and get paid directly, with 0% platform fees.

The Community is the Product

When people pay to be part of your community, every detail matters, from where they gather to how you get paid.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

“I run a paid community, but the platform takes a cut and my members live in someone else’s system.”

On shared platforms, your members sit alongside everyone else’s, every community gets the same tools, and a cut of each payment goes to the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a membership community platform?

A membership community platform lets you charge people for access to a private online community. Members pay a one-time fee or a recurring subscription, and in return they get access to your groups, content and courses. TribeCrafter is an all-in-one community platform that combines groups, courses, events, a blog, and monetization tools in a single product.

Can I offer different membership tiers?

Yes. Create as many plans as you need, each with its own monthly or yearly price, and choose which groups, courses and premium posts it unlocks. You can also offer a free tier alongside your paid plans.

Can I sell lifetime or one-time access?

Yes. One-time products can give lifetime access or access for a set number of days, so you can sell a single payment option next to your subscriptions.

What happens when a membership ends?

When a subscription ends, access to everything it unlocked is removed automatically, so you don’t have to manage it by hand.

How do payments work?

You connect your own Stripe account, and members pay through TribeCrafter’s built-in checkout. Payments go straight to you. TribeCrafter charges 0% platform fees, so the only fee is Stripe’s standard processing fee.
