PayRequest Community

Your paying members deserve a place of their own.

Turn your PayRequest Page into a community-first home where visitors can join free, members can talk around your posts, and paying members unlock the complete protected library.

Everything in one place

A real home for your membership.

Give members more than a payment confirmation. Give them a useful, welcoming space they can return to.

A welcome that feels personal

Greet new members with formatted text, helpful instructions and an optional YouTube or Vimeo video.

Content that stays organized

Group posts into clear sections such as tutorials, recipes, lessons or member resources.

Three levels of access

Publish for everyone, verified free members, or active paying members — post by post.

A free way to join

Let visitors confirm their email, become a free member and experience your Community before buying.

One clear place to start

Pin an announcement, challenge or start-here post above the rest of your library.

Conversations in context

Signed-in members can comment on every post their access level allows them to read.

Access managed automatically

Successful membership payments unlock your Community. Access ends when the membership does.

One Community, three doors

Let people experience your value before they pay.

Publish openly for discovery, ask for verified email access when a resource deserves a relationship, and reserve your complete system for paying members.

Free members keep the same customer profile when they upgrade. Their paid subscription simply unlocks the next level.

Simple setup

From membership to community in six steps.

01

Connect a membership

Choose the recurring plan members buy. Its price, interval and benefits become your public offer.

02

Create the welcome page

Add an introduction, instructions and an optional welcome video.

03

Write your public pitch

Explain who the Community is for, then choose whether it becomes your Page homepage.

04

Organize your library

Create sections, then choose public, free-member or paid-member access for every post.

05

Pin the first action

Keep your most useful start-here post or announcement above newer content.

06

Publish and preview

Compare the public view with Preview as member before sharing your /community URL.

Your public Community

A better first impression than a product grid.

Community-first homepage

Lead with belonging, not a catalog.

Make Community the homepage of your payrequest.me link when membership is your main offer. Visitors see what they can achieve, what is waiting inside and how to join before they browse products.

On mobile, the paid join action stays available in a sticky bar while visitors explore. You can also hide the Community tab for a direct-link or invite-only experience without disabling the URL.

Always up to date

Payment status becomes access status.

No spreadsheets, invite lists or manual removals. Active and trial members get access. Cancelling members keep it until their paid period ends.

Frequently asked questions

Does Community use my existing Page design?

Yes. Your banner, avatar, theme, profile and navigation are reused automatically, so everything feels like one brand.

Can non-members read private posts?

No. Visitors can see a safe preview, but never the protected body. Free posts require a confirmed free or paid membership; paid posts require an active or trial subscription.

Can free members comment?

Yes. Signed-in free members can comment on public and free-member posts. Paid members can also comment on active-members-only posts.

How many posts can I pin?

One per PayRequest account. Pinning another published post replaces the current pin, and returning it to Draft removes the pin.

What happens if a member cancels?

They keep access through the period they already paid for. Community locks automatically when the subscription becomes inactive.

Do digital product purchases include access?

No. Community access comes from the connected membership. Purchased files remain available separately under My downloads.
