Using Zendra for Shopify memberships & subscriptions

Zendra is one of the newest and most modern membership apps for Shopify! We are also very aggressive in keeping up with the latest Shopify features. While many apps require you to cobble together manual tagging workflows, Liquid edits, or workarounds, Zendra is a seamless access platform: set up your plan, create member perks, and you’re done! Zendra does everything behind the scenes to make sure these perks work, creating automated discounts, checkout rules & validations, Shopify Functions to handle shipping restrictions or discounts, and more.

Zendra creates a simple, delightful experience to manage your programs & plans. And its robust set of perks applies to almost any business — create a simple membership to give all signups free shipping, or charge access to get member pricing. Any business can use Zendra to create additional revenue from membership programs and increased purchasing!

No transaction fees, no limits! Each plan level has a cap on monthly members — our billing will automatically back out dormant members though (those who have cancelled or expired). So you may need to upgrade to the next plan as your membership program grows — which is probably good news for all of us!

Awesome, congrats on scaling your membership! Your account will automatically upgrade to the next tier to unlock more memberships — your settings carry over, and you’ll gain the new features from the next plan up to continue scaling. If you need to authorize a new Shopify app charge, Zendra will show a banner to remind you, and we’ll send an email. Please be sure to do this within 2 weeks to avoid disruptions!

That’s up to you! Zendra creates membership plans — but these can include a subscription. Choose if folks get access by signing up for an account, when you manually add a membership, or if they trigger access by purchasing something. If they get access by purchasing something, then you can decide whether those purchases are one-time, recurring, or both.

But to be clear: any membership, whether it offers recurring billing or not, can also offer perks.

The benefits you give to your members for joining. We see really great success in growing a membership program when offering perks like:

  • Discounts on products, like 10% off everything, or 5% off gift cards. You can scope discounts to a specific collection or tag!
  • Offering discounts for subscribing, or for more frequent deliveries
  • Free shipping for members, or reduced fees for expedited shipping
  • Only allowing members to select expedited shipping (or other shipping rates, like freight)
  • Paywalling some content (like ebooks, workout videos, or classes) so only members can access them.
  • Gating access to products for members only (e.g. only letting members buy swag!)
  • Limiting product purchase to members for early access — great for tickets or member drops!

Access dripping or content dripping is a practice of giving out perks and value over time to a member, vs giving them everything immediately upon signup. It’s a great way to consistently demonstrate value to your members, especially if you bill them regularly, like each month.

For example, you could set up video access so that a new member can see some videos, but they don’t unlock access to all videos until they’ve been subscribed for at least 2 months. Or, you can prevent new members from buying special products right away, to prevent folks who signup, use perks, then churn.

Dripping is a great way to deliver value over time, whether it’s access to products you sell, digital access, or content.

We adhere to all recommended best practices for app development by Shopify, such as encrypting access tokens, and processing only necessary data. We use the standard Shopify storage for as much data as possible, only saving information in our app database when required. Your privacy, and your members, is of critical importance to us, and we regularly audit our app security internally, using AI tools, and with third party providers.
