You can make a product available only to members of your community by limiting access to a community plan.
This means the product won’t be available for purchase or enrollment anywhere else on your site.
To do this, update the product’s availability settings and give access through one of your community plans.
Adjusting product availability settings
The first step to making a product exclusive to members is updating its availability settings.
This prevents visitors from seeing or enrolling in the product unless they’re part of a community plan. Here's how to do it:
Go to Products in the sidebar menu.
Click the"Edit" button of the product you wish to make exclusive to your members.
Navigate to the "Availability" tab.
Click on Edit next to the Visibility option.
Change the visibility to Hidden and Save your changes. This will hide your product from all of your site pages.
And no worries—customers who already purchased the product or gain access through a subscription plan will still be able to view the product without any issues.
Next, click on Edit next to the Access option.
Change the access to Closed and Save your changes.
This setting will prevent visitors from signing up for the product directly from your site (while still being available through a community plan).
Giving product access through a community plan
The next step when it comes to making a product exclusive to members is giving it access through a community plan.
From your Podia dashboard, click on Community in the sidebar menu and select the Plans sub item.
Click on “Edit” next to the community plan you’d like to include products for.
Locate the Included products section.
To add a product, start typing the product name you want to add in the field and click on it to have it added. You can add as many products as you'd like.
Once you have added all of the products you’d like, save your changes.
These steps will ensure products added to your community plan are only available to these members - not being able to be purchased outside of it.
