How can I implement a tiered membership and credit system like Audible?

Shopify Discussion

Hello, I want to thank anyone in advance for your help.

I’m looking to do something like Audible just not audiobooks.

I want to have three tiers.

Let’s call them public, members, and vip.

I want to sell credits, 1, 5, 10… and then redeem the credits on products, just like Audible does for books.

*1 credit doesn’t equal $1, it equals one product

Public pays one price, members pay a monthly fee to get early access and 10% off, and vip gets exclusive access and 20% off.

I’ve spent days and can’t find a solution that is simple.

Thank you very much in advance,

Tyler

Hi Tyler,

I am looking to do something similar with my store. Did you ever find any sort of solution to this?

I am a software engineer so I have no problem writing code to modify Shopify, but I am new to the Shopify platform, so don’t know the ecosystem yet. I somewhat doubt that there is a way to do what we want with the available Shopify development tools available (editing themes with Liquid, custom metafields, etc), but thought I would check to see if you got any answers or any further information. You mentioned “can’t find a solution that is simple.” Does that mean you possibly found a potential solution that is not simple? Not simple might be Ok for me.

I have already modified my store extensively using metafields and custom Liquid templating code, but I have not discovered any way to modify the backend (i.e. database) of a Shopify store, so I am guessing that what we want to do is probably not possible on Shopify.

Thanks in advance for any help.
