Sell a monthly membership to your fans

A membership on GetIntoStores is a monthly price you choose and a short description of what a member gets from you. Fans join from your storefront page on the website, Stripe Billing charges their card on the same day each month, and your share is paid to your own Stripe Connect account on Stripe's usual schedule. We keep the same 10% we keep on a sale, and nothing else: no plan, no listing fee, no fee in a month when nobody joins.

Members and buyers are not the same people, and both matter. Someone who buys your book once owns that book for good. Someone who pays monthly is backing what you make next. The same storefront carries both, so a reader who finishes a book can become a member on the page they are already looking at.

You can pause a membership at any time, and existing members keep theirs until they cancel. A member can cancel themselves in the app and keeps access until the end of the period they have paid for. Nobody is charged for a month they did not agree to, and a payment that fails tells them to update the card with Stripe rather than quietly cutting them off.

Payouts need Stripe's identity and bank setup once, the same as selling a file, and the money moves without us touching it.

Questions and answers

What do I keep?

90% of every monthly payment. Card processing is paid out of our 10%.

Can members join in the app?

Joining happens on the website. Apple and Google require their own in-app purchase for anything bought inside an app.

Can I set more than one price?

You set one monthly price and what it includes, and you can change it for new members at any time.
