What a visitor sees and does on your public Membership Plans page.

The flow

  1. A visitor goes to your Membership Plans page (there is one automatically, at a fixed address once Memberships is turned on -- add it to your Website Menu if you want it easy to find).
  2. If not signed in, they sign in or create an account first -- a membership always ties to a real account, unlike a one-time guest class booking.
  3. They click a plan, and are sent to a secure Stripe checkout page to pay.
  4. On success, they land back on your site with the membership already active -- there is nothing for you to manually approve.

What they see afterward

Their account page shows current status -- Unlimited or Lifetime active, or a specific number of banked credits remaining -- along with their purchase history.
