Limited-Time Memberships

Offer one-time purchase memberships that grant access to exclusive benefits for a specific duration instead of indefinitely.

How They Work

Customers pay once and receive access for a set number of days (that you define). After the access period expires, they must purchase again to regain membership benefits.

Compared to Other Membership Types

• Limited-time: Single payment for X days of access (e.g., 30, 90, 365 days)
• Lifetime: Single payment for permanent access with no expiration
• Recurring: Automatic billing at intervals (monthly/quarterly/annually)
