@Jijo Sunny (founder): I would love to see Tiers. That was one of my draws to wanting to use Patreon. I am using BMC, but I was wondering if there was an update on this?

@Jijo Sunny (founder): is there an estimated date as towhen this feature may be implemented?
Jijo Sunny (founder)
@Naughty's lil monster: @River Shine: We're aiming for February first week, so within a month!
David Henderson
@Jijo Sunny (founder): Will we be able to send out automated messages when someone signs up for a specific tier? This would be amazing to send links to different stuff for each tier automatically! Thanks!
Jijo Sunny (founder)
@David Henderson: Absolutely. You will. Let us know if you have any other suggestions, David!

Very excited for this feature. Once this feature and audio uploads are live there will be zero reason to use Patreon over BMC
JACQUES
Definitely need this, can’t wait

alright I give up, haha. We're building this.
Please tell us your ideas for membership levels/tiers. We're looking to make the UX delightful and more effective than what's out there. ⛹️♂️

@Jijo Sunny (founder): My main concern is easily being able to change the price of a plan. On Patreon you can't just change the price, you have to retire the tier and then create a whole new tier, and your members have to manually move their membership over to the new tier. One of the things I love about BMC is that I am able to change the price whenever I want and it doesn't affect my current members. I react to TV shows and when I started I priced my reactions at $2 a month and gradually increased the price as I added more content. I like that the members who joined early still get the $2 price, it's a nice incentive to say "Hey, I'm raising my rates so join now to lock-in the current price!" People also might be more likely to stick around if they know the rate could go up if they cancel and re-join. Another thing I would like is the ability to select the tier that can see a post without having to post the same thing multiple times. As I said, I react to TV shows and it would be nice to have a separate tier for each show (or a group of shows) and to be able to share the same post with more than one tier if needed. Thanks for taking the time to read my suggestions!

@Jijo Sunny (founder): Flexibility of members being able to switch between tiers should be implemented. Also the ability for creators to create multiple tiers, and edit those tiers without breaking the current subscriptions they have signed up. Basically: allow creators to give their supporters flexibility, and also if the creator has to edit or change anything about the subscription, it won't disrupt the current subscribers.
Bonus: Giving the creators ability to manage pausing subscriptions. (If they need to take a break from content creating for a month and they don't want to charge their subscribers.)

@Jijo Sunny (founder): Love it! Is this an up and running feature? Or still under development?
Jijo Sunny (founder)
@Feeling Free: Yes, the design is in progress and will soon go into development. ⛹️♂️
Jacob Stone
@Jijo Sunny (founder): Definitely the ability to have the tiers recurring. Also, card recharge if it doesn't go through at first, and tier cancellation for non-payment.

@Jijo Sunny (founder): I want to have different membership fees because I want to offer different content to members: first level - distance learning only, second level - plus homework assignments, third level - plus live discussion with members, questions and answers, etc. It’s certainly similar to Patreon, but why not. I look forward to this new feature.

I agree that membership tiers are essential even if limited to 3-5. Here's why:
1. While conversions might be higher with a simpler layout, there's too much money being left from the 1% of people who can afford $100+ a month. If 100 people are paying you $1/mth =$100/mth. (Idk what the numbers are for multi member tiers on other platforms so it's just speculation but I'll just say 50% drop in conversions). If that conversion rate drops to 50 people because you have multi tiers, you just need 1 person in the $100 tier to more than make the difference.
- Not all content is created equal. Some content takes longer than others to make and creators should be rewarded for that. Multi tier gives that option to create high quality and low quality and not be forced to overcharge or undercharge for their hard work!
- Scalability. Not every content creator can be #1. If you want people to have real financial success they need a higher price option. Otherwise they have to grow their followers to extremely high numbers to make it viable. The better route for creators is to give that super high tier $100+ option for the few people who are fortunate enough to have those means to support (and they are absolutely out there)
- I think the concerns about it being overwhelming aren't needed. It's a matter of design. If it's clear that you have 3-5 tier options and there is a option (like a slider or button) that flips it from monthly to yearly it makes it pretty simple. There are tons of great examples out there. Plus with a good intro video or well designed site/app you can instruct people on how to use it. Use a tip guide to guide people through the app or site. People supporting you through a new app are likely young enough to have at least some tech sense!

This would be a fantastic feature. Even if it was just 3 max, it sllows for a nice tiered subscription for your services.
I think Buy me a Coffe would be perfect :)

how and why is this still not available!!
Avguste Antonov
I think membership levels are absolutely needed. How each content creator uses that feature is his/her problem.

@Jijo Sunny (founder): Pay what you want is nice, but levels will allows us offer different perks at certain levels.
Avguste Antonov
@Jijo Sunny (founder): If you are going to add a "Pay What You Want", it needs to be a separate option instead of being connected to the monthly.
Jijo Sunny (founder)
@Avguste Antonov: Could you elaborate? How do we separate it from the monthly option?
Avguste Antonov
@Jijo Sunny (founder): Simple. Three buttons: one time, monthly as it is right now and "pay what you want". The first 2 are set by the page owner, the 3rd is set by the one donating
