Bold Memberships allows you to create rules that are referred to as Show and Hide rules in each membership plan created within the app. These rules allow you to either show or hide content based on if a customer is tagged or not tagged with a tag that is used in the membership plan.
When creating or editing a membership plan, a show or hide rule can be created under Step 4: Create Rules.
-
Show rule - When a Show rule is used in a membership plan, only logged in customers with the tag for this plan are able to see the rules selected. All other customers are not able to see the content. The tag is added to the customer's account either upon successful signup or when manually invited to a free membership plan.
-
Hide rule - When a Hide rule is used in a membership plan, only logged in customers with the tag for this plan are not able to see the content. The content is visible to all others. The tag is added to the customer's account either upon successful signup or when manually invited to a free membership plan.

While Bold Memberships does not offer free shipping for members, there are third party apps, such as Bespoke Shipping by MZL Solutions or Intuitive Shipping by Intuitive Shipping Inc, that are available on the Shopify App Store that can offer different shipping rates based on a tag set within a customer account that can work alongside Bold Memberships.

Customers can access their membership by simply logging into their Shopify customer account on your storefront, using the same email address that was used when purchasing the membership, or when receiving the free membership.
Please ensure your Shopify customer accounts are set to optional or required on your storefront so this option is available to your customers.
Bold Memberships does not require a separate login page for members to log into their account on your storefront, as the membership details are controlled through a customer tag which shows or hides content on your storefront.
