Paid Members App is a browser-based membership payment service from a Boulder, Colorado maker. It connects Stripe Checkout and Payment Links with member login, paywalled content, and a Customer Portal. The service targets people who want to configure Stripe payments and membership access without a developer, and it works with Weebly, Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify, custom HTML sites, and other website builders. A standard Stripe account is required, with payments sent directly to that account through Stripe Connect. Payment Links can be shared on social media without a website. Billing options include one-time and subscription payments, free trials, coupons, installments, setup fees, and billing anchors. Checkout supports more than 25 payment methods, while tax options include fixed rates, regional dynamic rates, and Stripe Tax. Starter costs 29.97 USD per month with a 3% transaction fee; Entrepreneur costs 49.97 USD per month with a 1% fee. A 10-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Who it is for
It suits website owners who need Stripe-based paid memberships, gated content, and account management without building these systems themselves. It is less suited to communities seeking social networking or member messaging.
