Multiple membership plans
complete
Duncan Hamra
1) My customers can only have one plan (role, membership, product, etc) at a time.
2) I can't use Memberstack with my pricing model. My pricing model is key to my business model, branding, positioning, marketing, etc. Pricing is core to any business.
3) Change my pricing. Use another tool. Build a direct Stripe integration.
4) Please let me add multiple subscriptions to a particular member or multiple quantities on a single subscription.

This feature is now live in Memberstack 2.0 🎉
Thank you for your patience. Here are some more detailed docs which explain some of the use cases enabled by this new feature.

Duncan Hamra: When will 2.0 be available as standard?

in progress
This is finished in Memberstack 2.0 🎉 Will post an update once it becomes generally available.
A member can have any combination of multiple one-time plans, multiple free plans, and/or multiple recurring plans.
Also, wanted to note a few limitation which could effect some people in this thread:
- a member must check out with one subscription at a time.
- We don't have "cart" functionality yet.
- Also, a member cannot have more than one of the same subscription. A.k.a Memberstack can't handle quantities yet.

Duncan Hamra: Will there ever be an upgrade membership option? Like pro-rated upgrades? Multiple memberships is "okay" but canceling one to then sign up for another is poor user experience

Lauren Pope
Any update on this? I really want to be able to sell multiple memberships., and will have to swap to another solution if this will not arrive soon.
Naitik Mehta
Lauren Pope: Hi Lauren! If you or a team member is technical, Memberstack 2.0 has multiple memberships and can currently be implemented via code. We're sending out invites to the waitlist - sign up here if you're interested. :)
L
Lauren Pope
Naitik Mehta: I'm not technical unfortunately. any update on when it will be part of the core product please?
Naitik Mehta
Lauren Pope: Gotcha! We'll drop an update when we have an ETA for a public release of multiple memberships. It's currently being tested by developers in our beta. 🙏

Lauren Pope
Naitik Mehta: Any update on this?
Tanner
This would be FANTASTIC for us...currently going to try to do a workaround by having several dozen memberships that represent different bundles of products. Please put me at the top of your beta developers list!
Naitik Mehta
Tanner: Be sure to sign up here for 2.0 so we can loop you in as soon as we're ready 💯

Is there some insight in when this will become available?
We're planning to have new subscription items every week, so we cannot use a combined package - we need pure separate subscriptions and let people choose (on different websites) which they all want to subscribe to.

How is this STILL not done?
Duncan Hamra
Kyle B: Hey Kyle! 👋 Hope you're doing well.
We're having to rebuild everything to make this happen. It's quite hard to rebuild from scratch, so it's taking some time. That said, we're doing our very best and it will be ready ASAP. If you need something right now, let me know. I'm happy to help you find another solution that's a better fit 👍 We don't want to rush this suuuuper important next step, but we also don't want to slow you down.

Having the ability to treat memberships as plans and let users join and pay for multiple exactly what I need right now! Thank you for working hard on this! Any estimates on when we get the new version?
Duncan Hamra
Anthony Templin: Hi Anthony 😊 Thank you so much for the kind message! We're making steady progress. I'm afraid there's still now ETA, but I can confirm this feature is in alpha for developers. That said, we still need to finish the no-code layer, which will take some time.

I cannot WAIT for this. I actually was unable to use Memberstack for a recent project because of this limitation — customers needed to add new memberships at will (buying courses). Had to use Memberspace as they do offer that functionality, but I'm really not as excited by Memberspace — they have a lot more limitations as far as API and styling goes.
Duncan Hamra
Colin Simmons: Thank you for letting us know 🙏
I'm happy to share that multiple memberships are officially built into Memberstack 2.0. I wish it was/is ready for you, but not quite. We're getting there!

Jérôme
Duncan Hamra: When are you planing to release it ? I need this exact feature for a project that is starting now. Thanks !
Duncan Hamra
Jérôme: I wish I could say right now, but it will likely be a few more months. We're making steady progress though! I'll follow up directly with an alternative solution for you.

Jacob Binnie
Duncan Hamra: I CAN'T WAIT! What's the expected timeframe for a beta release of Memberstack 2.0? Multiple memberships are going to be an absolute game changer.
Duncan Hamra
Jacob Binnie: ASAP is the best I can say right now! I wish I could be more specific, but this is our first time building something like this. Makes estimating quite hard 😅 How soon do you
need
it? I'm happy to help you find a solution when you need itWe can't wait either 😁 Ahhh this is going to be soooo darn great!
J
Jacob Binnie
Duncan Hamra: Hey Duncan. Ideally, I'd love to be implementing this ASAP. What kind of time frame do you realistically think we're looking at? Can appreciate you guys are working hard on it. Also would love the ability to assign specific users EDIT rights to certain memberships.
Duncan Hamra
Jacob Binnie: Definitely not in the next month, but we are making steady progress.
Can you tell me more about that last note? If you have time, can you make a new wishlist post about it? I'm really curious to learn what problem that will solve for you.
J
Jacob Binnie
Duncan Hamra: Hey Duncan. Ideally, the multiple memberships functionality will solve everything. As long as I can trigger a Zap to edit specific memberships and/or create new memberships I’m sorted. Will you know if I’d be able to trigger new membership creations / edits of current memberships with zapier automations?

Hey Duncan
My scenario could be to have a Free Tier that everyone can sign up to and then a premium tier that's charged on a monthly fee.
I don't want people to have to choose one or the other but to first become a Free member and then be offered the Premium membership once they are logged in. They can sign up and pay for this with their existing credentials.
Is this possible right now or would it be possible in Memberstack 2.0?
Thanks
Jonathan
Duncan Hamra
make give live: Hello hello! This is a great question. This is currently possible with Memberstack 1.0, but would require a member to transition from the free plan to the paid plan. This works great 90% of the time, but has some not-ideal side effects. For example: If they cancel their plan, instead of falling back to the free tier, they end up "stuck" on the cancelled paid tier.
Duncan Hamra
Update time 🎉🎉🎉 This feature is entering suuuuper early alpha as part of Memberstack 2.0 this week.
We want to share the good news, but also make it perfectly clear we're still some months away from having this be readily available to all users. Thanks for your patience!
