I want to start a business with a subscription model for customers to pay a monthly subscription to download files (that they have access to because they paid) and then they are able to download small files to use for printing. Does Shopify offer this plus the ability to remove customers who are not paid up or cancel the subscription. I hate to say like an adult site, but kinda like that. What I am selling is not Adult… They are CAD files
Hello!
You answered my first question, I need to know if then after the payment is handled will they be able (customers) to use the website to download small CAD files I create. Kind of like an adult site, pay for access then download the files you want, but instead of adult pics and videos, they will download files for CAD Printers. I have about 100 gig of files I want them to choose from. I want to lay them out to each have their own page and also drop downs and the like for searching files. Does this make sense?
Hi Bullseye,
I hope you’re doing well.
Regarding the ability to restrict access to content based on a subscription, it seems that memberships would be the ideal solution for you. Memberships empower store owners to charge a subscription fee for access to “members-only” content, such as exclusive CAD files. Furthermore, they offer the flexibility to set up loyalty points, free shipping, or discounts, depending on your preferences.
If you’re still interested in implementing a membership system for your store, I recommend checking out Substronaut. We provide store owners with the ability to customize their membership offerings with various subscription options, whether it’s on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. Moreover, we offer out-of-the-box support for exclusive access benefits, allowing shop owners to easily restrict specific products, pages, or collections with just a few clicks. In your case, with the CAD files, you could create a “members-only” page that lists all these files available for download.
If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, take advantage of our 14-day free trial of the Pro Plan, which includes our customizable membership program: https://apps.shopify.com/substronaut-subscriptions
