Setting Up a Payment Link for Your Group on Tribe Social
This guide will walk you through setting up a payment link for your group on Tribe Social. This is ideal if you want to charge a membership or a one-time payment without the hassle of creating a full landing page or sales funnel. Follow these steps to create a seamless experience for your members.
Step 1: Create Your Group
Navigate to Your Dashboard:
Go to your Tribe Social dashboard.
Create a New Group:
Click on the "Groups" tab and then "Create New Group".
Name your group (e.g., "Paid Membership Group").
Leave the description blank for now.
Set the visibility to "Private" to control access.
Assign yourself as the admin.
Click "Save".
Step 2: Set Up Your Product in Stripe
Log into Stripe:
Go to the Stripe dashboard.
Create a New Product:
Click on the "Products" tab, then "Add Product".
Name your product (e.g., "Paid Membership Group").
Add a description (e.g., "Includes weekly coaching calls and unlimited tech support").
Upload an image (optional).
Set Pricing:
Choose "Standard Pricing".
Set your price (e.g., $97).
Select whether it's a one-time payment or recurring (e.g., monthly, yearly).
You can add multiple pricing options if desired (e.g., $97/month or $997/year).
Create a Payment Link:
After saving your product, click on "Create Payment Link".
Customize the checkout page settings as needed.
Go to the "After Payment" tab.
Select "Don't show a confirmation page".
Paste your group's Magic Link signup URL here.
Step 3: Retrieve and Use Your Group's Magic Link
Get the Magic Link:
Go back to your Tribe Social dashboard.
Find your group and click on the "Magic Link Signup URL".
Copy the link to your clipboard.
Add the Magic Link to Stripe:
Paste the Magic Link into the "After Payment" redirection URL field in Stripe.
Click "Create Link".
Copy the generated payment link.
Step 4: Finalize Group Settings in Tribe Social
Edit Your Group:
Go back to your Tribe Social dashboard.
Edit your group and paste the Stripe payment link into the "Purchase Link" field.
Save your changes.
Add an image to your group if desired.
Save again.
Step 5: Test the User Experience
Preview as a User:
Sign out of your account to view the group as a non-member.
Click on your group and confirm it redirects to the payment page.
Complete the payment process to ensure users are redirected back to your group with appropriate access.
Tips for a Seamless Experience
Email Confirmation: After a member makes a purchase, send a welcome email with instructions on how to log in and create a password.
Consistent Email: Ensure members use the same email for Stripe payments and Tribe Social to avoid access issues.
