With coapp payments by Stripe you can create and manage subscriptions, plan upgrades, resources, paid events (soon) and many things more. Members can choose their own plan and payment method, as well as book rooms, resources and anything else you want to offer. Invoices are sent automatically every month.

To set up the payment function for your members, you need administrator access. If you are already an administrator of your community, click on your Manage in the upper right corner. Then select Monetization in the side menu.
