Bold Memberships integrates with Custom Pricing to provide you with the ability to automatically offer product discounts to customers who are signed up as members.
Custom Pricing creates the price discounts while Memberships provides various levels of access, and bills your customers recurrently for their plan.
After subscribing to a membership, your customers are automatically marked with the plan tag associated with that membership plan. Custom Pricing then reads this tag and displays the discounted product prices.
Caution
It is important to make sure the Liquid code is installed for both the discounts and plans to work correctly. Please refer to both the Installation Guide for Custom Pricing and the Installation Guide for Bold Memberships.
To integrate these two apps, please follow the steps below.
