01.

Three principles

What we believe about

memberships.

We’ve built membership platforms for 12 years. Our lessons, distilled.

I.

On craft

Memberships are infrastructure, not a marketing feature.

Other platforms treat memberships like a discount mechanism, an afterthought. We treat them as the architecture of how your brand relates to its best customers over years: rewards, gating, perks, billing, lifecycle — all in one engine.

II.

On fairness

Your members’ money should stay with you.

Zendra charges flat plan prices — no transaction fees on membership revenue, no skim on attributed orders. We don’t tax our merchants’ growth.

III.

On modernity

Built on the Shopify of today, not the Shopify of 2018.

Legacy apps wedge themselves into themes, making you insert Liquid snippets and use brittle tagging flows. Zendra is built on the newest extensions and APIs, and certified Built for Shopify against today’s highest standards. It works in your store as if it was born there — because it was.

02.

The gallery

Multiple surfaces. A single

membership engine.

Zendra is fully embedded in your admin and storefront, out of the box.

c.

the chamber

Where members live afterward

The portal sits inside Shopify’s customer account area — so members see status, perks, and renewals right where they already log in. No separate site, no extra login.

⦿ Status, billing history, renewal

⦿ Perks overview

⦿ Payment method management

⦿ Self-service cancellation

Take a tour

Collection: the Zendra portal

The member portal lives inside your Shopify customer accounts — no separate logins, or app iframes that don’t quite look right. Zendra looks native to your store, using the Shopify login for each member.

Zendra is the only app that showcases all of the perks for your members, continuously highlighting the value of your membership, and making it easy for members to use perks.

03.

Provenance

Making memberships since

before Shopify had apps.

Every feature in Zendra — the gating logic, lifecycle emails, perk architecture — comes from over a decade of running membership sites, across every major ecommerce platform (including Shopify — we started building apps in 2013).

15+

years of membership operations

Before Zendra, we created membership and subscription infrastructure for WooCommerce — that software still powers tens of thousands of stores today.
