# How to create a pricing plan for your membership

How to create a pricing plan for your membership

## 🚀 Overview

In Kourses, you can create **up to two pricing plans per membership**. These can be:

-   A **free plan**
    
-   A **one-time payment**
    
-   A **subscription plan**
    
-   An **installment plan**
    

Each plan gives you flexibility in how you sell your course or membership.

## 1\. 🆓 Create a Free Membership Plan

You can offer **free access** to a membership.

### How to Do It:

-   Click **“Add new pricing plan.”**
    
-   Choose the **free option**.
    
-   Click **“Add pricing plan.”**
    

### Important Notes:

-   Once you’ve added a **free plan**, you **cannot** add a **paid plan** to that membership.
    
-   The **checkout page** for a free plan won’t show any payment fields—just name, email, and password.
    

## 2\. 💰 Create a One-Time Payment Plan

This is perfect for higher-ticket offers or one-off payments.

### Steps:

-   Click **“Add new pricing plan.”**
    
-   Select **One-Time Payment**.
    
-   Enter your price (e.g. **$1000**).
    
-   Click **“Add pricing plan.”**
    

You can now **add a second paid plan**—either a **subscription** or an **installment**.

## 3\. 🔁 Add a Subscription Plan

Use this if you'd like to **charge users on a recurring basis**.

### Options Include:

-   Set a **price** (e.g. $19).
    
-   Choose the **frequency**: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, every 6 months, or yearly.
    
-   Add a **trial period** (e.g. 14 days).
    
-   Add a **setup fee** (e.g. $99 for a welcome call or onboarding).
    

### Example:

-   **$19/month** after a **14-day free trial**.
    
-   Plus a **$99 setup fee** charged at signup.
    

## 4\. 💳 Create an Installment Plan

Ideal for breaking up a large payment over time.

### Steps:

-   Select **Installment Plan**.
    
-   Set:
    
    -   The **amount** per payment (e.g. $200)
        
    -   The **number of payments** (e.g. 5)
        
    -   Any **trial period** or **setup fee** (optional)
        

### Example:

-   Break down a $1000 product into **5 monthly payments of $200**.
    
-   No trial, no setup fee.
    

## 5\. 🛒 Preview the Checkout Page

Once your pricing plans are added:

-   Click **“Save”**.
    
-   Go to your **checkout page** and refresh it.
    

You’ll now see:

-   All available pricing options
    
-   Users can choose between **one-time**, **subscription**, or **installment** options.
    

## 6\. ↕ Reorder Pricing Plan Display

Want a specific plan to appear first on the checkout?

-   Just **drag and drop** the plan above or below the other to change the order.
