Community pricing

Community pricing options control access to your Arketa community portals — discussion forums, bonus content, videos, and programs that live inside a community. You can offer community access as a standalone purchase or bundle it into memberships.

Create a community pricing option

Go to Setup → Pricing Options
Click Add New
Select Community
Configure:
- Name — what clients see
- Price — one-time or recurring charge for access
- Community — which community portal this grants access to
- Duration — how long access lasts (or ongoing for memberships)
Save and make active

Bundle community access into a membership

The most common approach is to include community access as part of a membership, not as a separate purchase. When creating or editing a membership:

Go to the membership settings
Look for Include Community
Select which community/communities the membership includes

Members will automatically have access to the selected communities while their membership is active. When the membership expires or cancels, community access ends.
