Hi @junny

see you’re looking for a solid membership management app that can handle different membership tiers beyond Shopify’s built-in limitations. I totally get it—Shopify’s default options for memberships and recurring billing are pretty basic, and if your client needs something more robust, you’ll need a third-party solution.

Best Membership Apps for Shopify

Here are some tried-and-tested apps that offer strong support for membership tiers:

  1. Recharge Subscriptions – Primarily for subscriptions but allows gated content and member-only perks. Works well if you want recurring billing for different membership levels.
  2. Bold Memberships – One of the most flexible membership apps. You can set up unlimited membership tiers, restrict access to products/pages, and offer exclusive discounts.
  3. Seal Subscriptions & Loyalty – Great for both subscriptions and memberships. Lets you create multiple plans with different benefits.
  4. Conjured Memberships – If you need full control over membership access, content, and pricing tiers, this app is excellent. You can even offer free trials and exclusive content.
  5. Skypilot – Best if your memberships involve digital content like PDFs, courses, or videos.

What to Consider When Choosing?- Does it integrate with Shopify Payments or Stripe for smooth transactions?

  • Can you customize the membership signup flow and member dashboard?
  • Does it support automatic renewals and member-only discounts?
  • Is customer support responsive in case your client runs into issues?

From my experience, Bold Memberships and Recharge are the best options if you need strong tier-based control. But if your client’s store requires digital content access, Skypilot might be the way to go.

If you need extra help, just let me know asap. Thanks
Daisy.
