The toolkit

## Decide what members get.

Zendra enforces it.

Each plan bundles an entry rule with the perks it unlocks. Configure once — discount rules, checkout validations, and template restrictions are created for you.

001

#### Flexible entry rules

Choose how customers become members: register, purchase, subscribe, invitation — or let a Shopify Flow grant access when they earn it.

002

#### Unlimited plans & tiers

Create as many plans as the program needs — sold separately or stacked as tiers, each with its own pricing and perks.

003

#### Member pricing & discounts

Automatically discount orders or specific products when a member shops — by collection, tag, or product.

004

#### Shipping perks

Offer free or reduced shipping in exchange for joining, or reserve specific rates — like expedited shipping — for members only.

005

#### Gated content & products

Paywall pages, articles, and product details. Show a teaser for non-members. Hide gated products, or let anyone browse but only members buy.

006

#### Access dripping

Release benefits on a schedule tied to each member’s join date — “unlocks after 14 days” — so there’s always a reason to stay another month.

The lifecycle

## A program that runs itself

No code, no tags. Just works.

Activation, renewals, and goodbyes all happen automatically — with the data published to Shopify segments, tags, and metafields as it changes.

i / automation

#### Lifecycle on autopilot

Memberships activate on purchase or signup, pause and retry on failed payments, cancel gracefully at period end, and flag churn risks before they leave. Lifecycle emails keep members informed at every step, in each member’s own language.

ii / self-service

#### Members manage themselves

A native customer-accounts portal shows status, upcoming charges, billing history, and perks — with self-service payment, address, and cancellation controls.

iii / no code

#### No code, faster launches

Legacy apps make you (or your agency) tag customers, edit Liquid, and wire integrations by hand. Zendra eliminates that work — a real advantage when you’re launching client sites on a deadline. Zendra Assistant can even draft the first version of a program from a description, for you to review before anything goes live.

Field guide

## What will your membership be?

Proven models as inspiration.

The features are the raw material; the model is what customers actually join. Each guide covers fit, program blueprints, and the perks that matter for that model.

001

#### High frequency retail

Reward regulars with member pricing, shipping perks, and private drops that make reordering a ritual.

002

#### VIP & status programs

Make status visible and worth maintaining with tiers, recognition, and escalating perks.

[**Explore VIP programs**](/use-cases/vip-status-programs/)

003

#### Wholesale & trade access

Gate trade pricing and B2B catalogs behind approved membership, without a separate store.

004

Give people a place to participate — including automatic Discord roles tied to membership.

[**Explore communities**](/use-cases/communities/)

005

Sell access to courses, tutorials, and archives with gating and scheduled dripping.

[**Explore course access**](/use-cases/courses-learning/)
