Create a Membership Tier
Tiers are the levels fans choose when they join your membership — for example Free, Supporter, and VIP. Each tier has a name, optional description, benefit bullets, and one or more prices (monthly, yearly, one-time, and more).
Creator plan requiredYou need Creator or above. Free cannot create memberships.

Where to edit pricing
You can build tiers in two places — both save the same data.
| Path | Best for |
|---|---|
| Dashboard → Memberships → your program → Edit tiers | Membership Studio — focused tier builder with Offer, Content, and Delivery tabs |
| Open hub → Settings → Pricing & tiers | Same tier editor inside hub settings, plus a Simple (no tiers) option |
Membership Studio (Edit tiers)
Opens at Dashboard → Memberships → [your program] → Edit tiers.
| Area | What you do |
|---|---|
| Top bar | Rename your program (click the title), switch Draft / Live, and click Save for tiers |
| Offer tab | Add tiers, prices, benefits, and descriptions — this guide focuses here |
| Content tab | Shortcuts into hub areas (community, classroom, and more) |
| Delivery tab | Preview how fans reach your portal; optional per-tier community links |
Save in the top bar saves tiers and prices only. Program name and Draft / Live status save separately when you edit them in the bar.
Hub → Settings → Pricing & tiers
Same tier cards as Studio, with two extra controls:
| Control | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Simple (no tiers) | One set of prices for the whole program — no named tier cards |
| Tiered | Multiple tiers with names, colors, and benefits |
Use Simple when you only need a single price (for example one monthly membership). Use Tiered when you want a ladder — free + paid, or good / better / best.
Switching from Tiered to Simple
If you already have active tiers and tap Simple (no tiers), Flo asks you to confirm — Removing tiers will archive your current pricing. Existing members keep their subscriptions; new fans see the simple price layout after you save.
Plan limits
| Plan | Tiers per membership program |
|---|---|
| Creator | Up to 3 |
| Pro / Studio | Unlimited |
A meter on the page shows Pricing tiers (per membership, plan limit). When you are at the cap, Add tier becomes Upgrade to add tier and sends you to billing.
Creator can only create one membership program total. Pro / Studio can run unlimited programs — see Memberships overview.
Before you add paid prices
| Situation | What Flo expects |
|---|---|
| Paid tiers (any price above $0) | Flo Payments must be Active before fans can checkout — Connect payments |
| Saving prices | Flo may show a yellow reminder: connect your earnings account in Wallet settings before adding prices — prices are saved to your payment account when you click save |
| Free tier ($0) | Fans can join without paying; you still configure a $0 price row so checkout knows the tier is free |
Until your program is Live (Active status), new signups stay off even if tiers are saved.
Tiered mode — step by step
Open the tier editor
Edit tiers from your membership card, or Hub → Settings → Pricing & tiers and choose Tiered.
Add your first tier
If you have no tiers yet, click Add tier. Flo creates a starter tier (default name like Tier 1, default price $9.99 / month, and a color dot you can change).
Name and describe the tier
Open the tier card (click the row). Set Tier name, Color, and optional Description. Use Write with AI (sparkle) on the description if you want a draft — you can edit it before saving.
List what's included
Under What's included, add benefit lines (Add benefit). These show on your Membership block and join page — Member benefits.
Set pricing
Add at least one price per tier (see Pricing options below). You can add up to three price rows per tier with Add price option.
Add more tiers (optional)
Click Add tier again for another level. Drag the ⋮⋮ handle on a tier row to reorder — top to bottom is how fans usually read good → best.
Save
In Studio: top bar Save → toast Tiers saved. In Hub settings: Save pricing & tiers → toast Pricing saved.
Go live
Switch the program to Live when you are ready for signups. Add a Membership block on your Flo page — Membership block.
Each tier — fields explained
Expand a tier card to edit these fields.
| Field | Required? | What fans see |
|---|---|---|
| Tier name | Yes | Title on checkout and your Membership block |
| Color | No (has a default) | Small dot beside the name in the editor; helps you tell tiers apart |
| Description (optional) | No | Extra pitch under the tier on join pages |
| What's included | No (recommended) | Bullet list of perks — empty lines are ignored when you save |
| Pricing | Yes — at least one price row | Prices and billing choices at checkout |
Remove a tier
At the bottom of an expanded tier, click Remove tier. The tier disappears from the editor. When you Save, Flo archives that tier — it no longer appears for new joins. Fans already on that tier keep their access until they change or cancel — Billing & dunning.
Pricing options (per tier)
Each price row is one way to pay for the same tier.
Recurring vs one-time
| Button | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Recurring | Subscription that renews — set Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly |
| One-time | Single charge to join (no renewal interval) |
Amount: You receive vs Buyer pays
| Mode | Meaning |
|---|---|
| You receive | You enter what you want to earn; Flo calculates what the fan pays after platform fees |
| Buyer pays | You enter the checkout price fans see |
A small preview under the amount explains the other side. Your plan’s sale fee affects the math — Wallet fees.
Optional fields on each price row
| Field | Applies to | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Label (e.g. Best value) | All | Short nickname on checkout when you offer multiple prices for one tier |
| Trial (days) | Recurring only | Free trial length before the first charge |
| Remove (trash) | When you have 2+ rows | Delete that price option |
You can add up to three price rows per tier (Add price option). Example: $9 / month and $90 / year on the same tier so fans pick billing cadence.
Currency
Amounts use the currency set on your Flo account (Settings — display currency). Fans checkout in that currency.
Free tier tip
To offer a free level, add a tier (for example Free) and set a Recurring price to $0.00 with your chosen interval, or use a One-time $0 row. Pair it with benefit bullets so fans know what they get.
Simple mode (no tiers)
In Hub → Settings → Pricing & tiers, choose Simple (no tiers).
| What you see | What it does |
|---|---|
| Price rows only (no tier names) | One membership price list — same editor controls as tier pricing (recurring, one-time, trial, labels) |
| Save pricing & tiers | Saves those prices directly on the program |
Good for a single “join my membership” price. Switch to Tiered when you want named levels and benefit ladders.
Save checks (common messages)
Flo validates before saving. Fix the highlighted fields and try again.
| Message or hint | What to do |
|---|---|
| Add at least one tier to save. / Add at least one tier before saving. | Click Add tier |
| Add a name for your offer in the bar above. | In Studio, rename the program in the top bar (not New Membership) |
| Rename your offer — “New Membership” is only a placeholder. | Give your program a real name |
| Every tier needs a name. | Fill Tier name on each card |
| Each tier needs at least one recurring price. / Add at least one price for this tier. | Add a price row under Pricing |
| Connect your Stripe account… (toast) | Finish Flo Payments setup in Wallet / Settings → Flo Payments |
| Your plan allows up to 3 pricing tiers… | Remove a tier or upgrade on Pro / Studio |
Write with AI (tier description)
On Description (optional), the Write with AI sparkle drafts copy using your tier name, benefit bullets, and program name. You stay in control — edit anything before saving.
AI uses your monthly AI generations pool (same as other Flo writing tools). If you are on Free, the sparkle may prompt you to upgrade to Creator.
How tiers appear to fans
| Place | What they see |
|---|---|

| Join / portal page | Tier picker and checkout for paid levels |
| Fan Hub after joining | Content and perks for the tier they chose — Fan Hub overview |
Reorder tiers in the editor to control top-to-bottom order on those surfaces.
