Create Members Only Content in Bold Memberships

Bold Memberships allows you to offer exclusive content on your storefront for customers that signup to a membership plan created from within the app. You are able to determine the content that appears for customers when creating a membership plan in Bold Memberships in Step 4: Create Rules.

In this article, we are going to go over how you can create members only content for each rule that is available in Bold Memberships.

Before starting please ensure:

You have the required liquid code installed for this feature to function correctly. Please visit Bold Memberships Code Install Instructions for more information.
You do not have any 3rd party page building apps. We recommend removing these as well as their associated code as they are not compatible with Bold Memberships.

Note: The purpose of Bold Memberships is to allow access to content on your store website or offline services. If you sell physical products as a subscription, Bold Subscriptions may be a better solution for you. For more information, please visit What's the Difference Between Bold Memberships & Bold Subscriptions?

Troubleshooting

Prices are not hiding for non-members on the storefront

There can be many reasons why prices may not hide properly to non-members on the storefront. Please review the list of common reasons below.

Conflicting show/hide rules across membership plans - If you have multiple membership plans that are using a conditional rule to show a product's price to members, this will cause the price to not show properly due to contradicting rules. To resolve this issue, remove products from show or hide rules that are in multiple membership plans.

Third party app conflict - If a price is being added onto a page from a third party app via a script, Bold Memberships will not be able to hide the price. The only resolution would be to remove the conflicting app if you do not want the price to appear for non-members.
