In this video, I want to show you how to set up a payment link for your group on your platform.
This can be really helpful if you want to charge a membership or a one-time payment
for your group, but you don't necessarily want to take the time to set up an entire landing page or
a funnel to sell this. So I'm going to show you how to set up that purchase link and then how to
redirect people after they finish purchasing back into your group and to give them access.
So let's jump in and I'll show you how this works. I've got a little demo site up here. I'm going to
head over to the dashboard and I'm going to go into the group here and just create something
from scratch. Let me make this a bit bigger for you. I'm going to say this is my paid membership
group. Okay. And then I'm going to come in here. I'll leave a description. I'm gonna leave the
purchase link blank for now. And I'll just set myself as the admin and I'm going to create a,
make this a private link. So that is one thing that is important. A public group means that
anyone can join it and it's wide open. So anyone can land on your site. They can request that.
Just click a join button and it will just immediately grant them access to that group.
If you want to do a paid group or you want to control who's going in and out of your group,
the private group is going to be, the private visibility is the one that you want to go with.
So let's go ahead and hit save. So now I've got my group here and I'm going to use Stripe for this
to show you how to set up this, this checkout link. So what we're looking for is we want to
make sure that there's a link here that if someone doesn't have access to this group,
that they are redirected to some place to purchase that and get access to it. So I'm
going to go over to Stripe and I'm going to head over to the products tab. Again, I'll make this a
little larger for you. I'm going to hit products and I'm going to go to the top here and hit add
product right up here. Here I can go ahead and create a name. So I'm going to call this my
paid membership group. I can go and put some descriptions. So I can say, you know, this group
includes weekly coaching calls and, you know, access to unlimited tech support or something
like that. And then you can upload an image if you'd like, if you have a logo or something like
that. So I'll go ahead here and I'll just go ahead and add something quick, grab a quick tribe icon
and I'll drop this in.
Okay. And then from here, I'll just scroll down and this is where I can start to set up
the pricing I want for this product. So I can set this pricing model to just standard pricing
and keep it really simple. And let's say we're going to charge $97 and you can make this a
And you can make this a one-time payment. So people will pay it once and never pay it again,
or you can even make it a monthly payment. So if you want to do a membership model where
you're charging every month for this, this is where you would choose recurring. And at this
point, you can even choose what that cadence is going to be. It's going to be weekly. You can
even charge people daily or every three months, every six months, yearly. And so for this example,
I'll just make it one time. So it's a one-time payment of 97 and they're right into the,
to the program. You can also here make another price. Let's say I did want to make this recurring.
I can leave that as monthly. I can then add another price here and make it yearly. So let's
say it was $97 a month, or if you want to pay in full, it'd be 997. So you get a 20% discount,
right? If you were to pay recurring. So we'll use that as an example
for now. And I'm just going to check this over and hit save product.
So after that, you're greeted with the product detail page here and each one of our programs
here in the bottom left is listed. So there's our 997 for the year and $97 for the month. And so if
I zoom out a bit here, there is a create payment link and we move myself out of the way. There's a
create payment link right here. And this is going to create a unique link specifically for this,
this product here in this pricing options. I'm going to click this.
And what's great about this is you can go ahead and set up a little checkout page. So you'll see
it's going to have a picture of my product. You could have, it's got a little description. It's
got the pricing up here. People can put in their email, they can put their credit card information.
and they can subscribe right there and so this is the settings on the left here
are just ways to customize this a little bit so with this we can go ahead and go
to you know have an option to collect people's addresses if you if you need
that you can have an option to connect collect people's phone numbers you can
add that you can even have a free trial so you can say hey you get seven days
access to this group and then we're gonna start billing your card after
seven days so there's some really cool things you can do with this and so I can
also go here and add another product because let's say people click sign up
but now they may want to choose between the the different you know another
product or other things like that so I'm gonna leave this this membership option
here and I'm gonna scroll down and I think that's everything I'm gonna add
you can even add coupon codes and other details that you may need I'm gonna keep
it fairly simple here and then the last thing I want to do is just go over to
the after payment tab so this this means that after I hit subscribe it needs to
do something it needs to take the person somewhere so this is a great
opportunity for us to use our magic links if you haven't used a group magic
link it's magical you can essentially take a link from tribe and anyone who
uses that link will immediately be given access to your group so I'll show you
how to grab that here so we'll jump back to our dashboard and if you look over at
this paid membership group and you look all the way to the right there is
something called a magic link signup URL so if I click on this it's gonna copy it
to my clipboard I'm gonna head back over to the payment plan I'll go down to
this option here which says don't show a confirmation page and we're going to
change this link here to my paid membership URL and you'll see this is a
long URL with goes to my website it has a whole token in here to prove that you
are who you say you are and it essentially it's going to greet people
with a signup option if that person already has an account on your platform
they will not see the signup option it'll just simply say currently
upgrading your account and has a little count down and then people are taken
right into that group that you are giving them access to if they don't have
an account it prompts them for an email they can then create a password and
after that signup process they're also taken right into the group so it's a
really simple way to get people into the group where you don't have to go and
approve people on a user by user basis so that's where I'm going to add that
option up here and I'm gonna hit create link you can also adjust an invoice if
you want an invoice to be sent to them I'll just mention that so there's a lot
more you can do here I'm just kind of sticking to the the essentials so hit
create link and now I have this special link that's made just for this product I
can click copy let's just see what that looks like so I'm going to go new tab
here and it looks just like this I've got the option here to pay there's the
pricing details about the program and I can put in my credit card information
and this will actually take someone's money and put it into your Stripe
account and then when they're finished it's gonna redirect them back into the
magic link so let's actually set this up where I'm gonna copy the link here I'm
gonna go back to my group I'm gonna click into the edit and now where it
says purchase link I'm gonna click paste so here this this is the link that it's
gonna take people to when they don't have access to this group so I'm gonna
hit save and I'm going to just add a quick image to this and there's my image
I'll click Save and let's check out what this group looks like so I'm gonna go
back to my page I'm gonna hit refresh and let's go to the groups tab here and
you'll see my new paid membership group here now to demonstrate this fully I'm
going to go ahead and sign out so you can see what this looks like as a user
that has not got access to it so when I click on this group and and just keep in
mind I can also add some description here so let's say I went to the
description let me just drop in some some placeholder text this is my awesome
product you just want to show you that you can use that description as a place
to share a little bit more about your groups that will actually that will show
up here under the text and so that's that can be very helpful so let's go
ahead and click on this and immediately it takes me right over into my payment
plan
And I can now fill out this information.
And when I'm done, it's going to redirect me to that final, um, page.
And I'll show you what that is, uh, here as well.
It'll look just like this.
So once they complete a payment, it'll redirect them right into this, uh, this
page here, and this is where people can, uh, sign up for an account or sign into
an account and this'll be totally branded.
So while it says tribe social here, that's just the name of my platform,
but it will have your logo.
It'll have your colors from your platform displayed here.
So I hope this was helpful and just showing you the easiest way to start
taking payments for your groups.
And, uh, if you have any questions, you can always email us
at help at tribe, social.io.
