Creating Paid Deals
Set up paid products with one-time or subscription pricing to generate revenue through your deal pages.
Before You Start
To accept payments for your deals, you must first connect your Stripe account. This allows you to receive payments directly, minus the platform fee (5% standard, 3.9% for Society11 Premier members).
