5 Shopify Membership Plugins

Shopify is one of the leading e-commerce platforms for online stores, shops with brick and mortar locations, and organizations that may not primarily sell merchandise but need something flexible for the occasional sale. 

If you’re using Shopify with your website already, you might be looking for a way to integrate your membership program, Shopify sales, and your pre-existing website. Here are five tools that might help you out! 

Bold Memberships

Homepage

Bold Memberships is one of the heavy-hitters in the Shopify plugin space! It offers flexible billing, unlimited membership tiers, free trials, and more. Pricing for Bold Memberships is based on the number of members in your program and can range anywhere from $9.99 to $299.99 per month. Enterprise pricing is available for programs that need more breathing room. 

Bold also has additional apps like Custom Pricing, Loyalty Points, and Checkout. Unfortunately, Memberships only integrates with its own ecosystem of tools, so if you’d to integrate with something you’re already using, you’re out of luck.
