Best membership system for an online magazine with paid subscription

by businessrebel

Dear Warriors,

I would like to ask for your opinion.

We are planning an online magazine with paid subscriptions. Therefore it must be password protected.

Because not all subscribers will subscribe at the same time, we need a system where subscribers can only view the issues they have paid for, no matter when they start and end their subscription.

I highly appreciate your recommendations. Thank you very much in advance.

    Most any quality membership software will do what you want if you enable the settings you need correctly.

    You might consider making your magazine downloadable as a pdf. I would think that would be something many people would want so that they could store it for later reading. Then you don't have to worry about past subscribers accessing issues that weren't paid for - when they stop their subscription, they can no longer access your content. Just be up front about it and let the subscribers know the rules.

    I personally use Membergate as my membership software, but it may be overkill for you as it's an all-in-one marketing tool. Kartra is another option you might want to investigate.

    The best,

    Steve

    I use DAP for all my digital products, subscriptions and courses. It's really powerful and the support is awesome.

    I tried a handful of different options about 4 years ago but never looked at anything else after DAP.

    There is a monthly fee, but it's negligible if you're doing it right anyway.

    Best wishes.

      When needed, this has been my go-to solution. Amazing features and a great team.

      THat is a wp plugin, i think these days there are platforms like substat, that can really cater to your needs, and know the subscription model like amazon, and boeing and other big companies, are getting bigger, so teh subscription model is going to be huge in the future.
