Free shipping on every order. It has the highest conversion rate for membership sign-ups and the strongest renewal rates. Most successful membership programs lead with free shipping and layer additional perks on top.
3-5 perks is the sweet spot. Lead with one high-value perk (free shipping or significant discount), add 2-3 supporting perks, and avoid overwhelming members with too many benefits they won't use.
Yes. Create tiered memberships where higher tiers unlock more perks. For example: Silver gets free shipping, Gold adds cashback, Platinum adds early access and members-only products.
With Mage, yes. Free shipping, discounts, and member pricing apply automatically via Shopify checkout extensions. No codes needed — members see their perks reflected in real time.
Yes. Add, remove, or modify perks anytime from your Mage dashboard. Changes apply to new billing cycles. Existing members keep their current perks until renewal.
Start with your highest customer support cost (usually shipping questions) and your most common purchase driver. If free shipping drives conversions, lead with that. If exclusivity matters more, lead with early access and members-only products.
