Memberships are how you package and sell access to your products in Kourses. Whether you're selling a single product or a bundle, each membership defines what's included, how it's priced, and how the sales funnel is structured. A single product can be sold across multiple memberships, giving you the flexibility to create different offers, bundles, and pricing options for the same content.
The Memberships screen gives you an overview of all your memberships. For each one you can see:
The payment plans attached to that membership (e.g. one-time payment, recurring subscription)
The number of members currently enrolled
To create a new membership, click New Membership. To edit an existing one, click the three-dot icon and select Edit Membership Settings, or click the pencil icon directly. The settings are identical whether you are creating or editing a membership.
At the top of the membership settings page you can set:
Membership name: The name your members will see (1).
Internal name: A private label only visible to you, useful for keeping things organised behind the scenes (2).
You can also permanently delete a membership from this page by clicking Delete Membership Permanently (3).
Products
The Products tab is where you select which products are included in this membership. You can sell one product or bundle multiple products together. To manage your product selection:
Click Add Product and select from your products list to include a product (1).
Click the cross icon next to a product to remove it from this membership (2).
Remember — the same product can be added to multiple memberships, so you can sell it as part of different offers or bundles without any duplication.
Each product is delivered to new members based on the drip schedule set within the product itself. However, you can override this on a per-membership basis by clicking Edit Visibility (3) next to the product. This lets you apply a different drip schedule for that product within this specific membership — for example, delivering a course lesson by lesson rather than all at once.
For a full guide to drip scheduling options, search drip scheduling in the help articles.

Coupon codes: Create discount codes to incentivise buyers to purchase this membership.
The Pages section lets you configure the settings for each page in your membership's sales funnel:
