Access dripping

Content and product protections have a special concept called access dripping. This means that you can provide access immediately once a membership starts. However, you may want to keep members engaged over time — dripping access is a great way to do so!

You can instead delay access to pages, articles, courses, products, and more until a member has been signed up for a length of time. This is a great way to make sure that content is excluded from free trials, for example, or to ensure that members must have been around for long enough to get the best perks.

Perk expiration

If you sell a subscription, members have access to their perks for the entirety of the subscription, while it's active.

If you offer one-time purchases, you can limit perk access. By default, perks are lifetime. However, you can limit them to a set timeline, such as one year.
