Understanding Offers and Access Levels
In Member Kitchens, offers are the products that members can purchase to gain access to specific content. Each offer can grant one or more access levels, which control what content members can see.
Access Levels
Access levels define the permissions for your members. They determine what content users can access and can be customized to fit your needs. Here are some key points:
Public Content: Content without access level restrictions is visible to everyone.
Custom Levels: You can create custom access levels (e.g., "Silver", "Gold", "VIP") to manage tiered access.
Content Creation Permissions: You can allow members to create their own meal plans and recipes based on their access level.
Offer Types
There are three main types of offers you can create:
Subscription Offers: Recurring payments (e.g., monthly or yearly).
One-Time Offers: Single purchase for lifetime access (e.g., recipe bundles).
Time-Limited Offers: Access for a specific duration (e.g., 30-day challenges).
