Everything an AutoCreator site can do

Every AutoCreator membership site is built from the same blocks — a video library, structured courses, an LMS, live classes, community, and more. Turn on the ones that fit your business and leave the rest off. Here's what each one is, what it does, how it works, and when to use it.

Content & library

What members watch, read and learn.

Library

The Library is your main video collection — the page where members browse, search and filter all your classes.

Turning it on gives members a searchable grid of every class, with category, instructor and duration filters; turning it off removes the Library link from the menu entirely. Each class can be set to members-only, free for everyone, or sold separately as a package.

How it works
  1. 1Make sure "Library" is on under Settings → Pages and sections.
  2. 2Open a class under Admin → Videos and use the Access tab to choose Gated (members only), Free for everyone, or Only via package.
  3. 3On the same class page, set a friendly title, instructor and category so it shows up in the filters.
  4. 4Tick "Featured class" and set a sort order to pin a class to the top of the grid.

When to use it: Keep it on for almost every tenant — it's the core of the member experience; only turn it off if your site is built around courses or audio instead of a browsable class library.

Courses

Courses are structured, multi-part programs — a guided sequence of classes grouped into days that members follow from start to finish.

Enabling it adds a Courses page where members pick a program and work through it day by day, with progress saved as they go; courses without any content are hidden automatically so the page never shows empty cards.

How it works
  1. 1Make sure "Courses" is on under Settings → Pages and sections.
  2. 2Go to Admin → Collections (Courses) and click "New collection" to create a program with a title, cover image, category and instructor.
  3. 3Add days to the program and attach one or more classes to each day.
  4. 4To sell a course separately, set its collection to "Only via package" so only buyers see it.

When to use it: Turn it on when you offer guided programs or challenges (a 30-day series, a beginner course); leave it off if all your content is standalone classes browsed freely.

LMS (course quizzes & certificates)

The LMS turns your courses into a real learning experience: quizzes on individual classes, locked progression, and completion certificates members can earn and share.

When on, you can add a quiz to any course day; a "graduation" quiz must be passed before the next day unlocks, and members who finish every day and pass every graduation quiz automatically get a certificate with a public verification link.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on "LMS" under Settings → Pages and sections (it's off by default).
  2. 2Open a course day under Admin → Collections → (course) → Days, and scroll to the Quiz section.
  3. 3Write questions by hand or click "Generate with AI from transcript", then set the mode: Informational (a knowledge check) or Graduation (must be passed to continue), and a pass threshold.
  4. 4Save the quiz — certificates are then issued automatically as members complete each program.

When to use it: Turn it on if you run training, teacher courses or certifications where passing and proof of completion matter; leave it off for casual content where quizzes would just add friction.

Public transcript pages (SEO)

This publishes the written transcript of your classes on a public /learn page that Google and AI assistants can read, while the actual video stays locked to members.

When on, every class that has a transcript becomes its own searchable, indexable web page with a thumbnail and a "become a member" call to action — turning your library into thousands of pages that bring in new visitors without giving the videos away.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on "Public transcript pages (SEO)" under Settings → Pages and sections (it's off by default).
  2. 2Make sure your classes have transcripts: open a class under Admin → Videos and use the Transcript workspace to generate or paste one.
  3. 3Visit /learn on your site to see the published pages; only classes with a real transcript (and not hidden) appear.
  4. 4Hidden classes are never published, so hide anything you don't want indexed.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want more organic traffic and discovery from Google and AI search; leave it off if you'd rather keep all your class content fully private.

Audio rooms

Audio rooms is a dedicated audio library — meditations, yoga nidra, breathwork and podcasts members can listen to with a background player.

Enabling it adds an Audio rooms page where tracks are grouped into sections (meditation, nidra, breath, relaxation) plus embedded podcasts, and a player bar keeps audio going while members close the screen or move around the site.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on "Audio rooms" under Settings → Pages and sections.
  2. 2Upload audio tracks and tag each one with its section (meditation, nidra, breath or relaxation) so it lands in the right group.
  3. 3To add a podcast, paste a Spotify link under Admin → Podcasts and it embeds on the page automatically.
  4. 4Open /audio-room (Lydrom) to check how the sections and player look.

When to use it: Turn it on if you offer meditations, guided rest or podcasts that people listen to without watching; leave it off if all your content is video.

Animated thumbnails

Animated thumbnails show a short, silent video preview that fades in when a member hovers over a class card, instead of a still image.

When on, hovering any class card across the Library, favorites and playlists plays a looping preview clip, giving members a quick feel for the class before they click — purely visual, nothing to configure per class.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on "Animated thumbnails" under Settings → Pages and sections (it's off by default).
  2. 2That's the whole setup — the preview is generated automatically from each video, so there's nothing to add per class.
  3. 3Hover a class card in the Library to confirm the preview fades in on your site.

When to use it: Turn it on for a livelier, more polished browsing feel; leave it off if you prefer a calmer, quieter look or want to keep page loading as light as possible.

Search, filters & related classes

Members can search your whole library, filter by things like instructor, category, body area and length, get related-class suggestions, and receive notifications when something new lands.

Adds a global search bar, smart filters tailored to your content, a 'related classes' sidebar after each video, and a notification bell for new releases — so members always find more to watch. It's what turns a pile of videos into an explorable catalogue.

How it works
  1. 1Set up your categories and custom filters in the admin so they match your content.
  2. 2Members use the search bar and filters to browse.
  3. 3Related classes appear automatically after each video.
  4. 4New-content notifications go out via the bell.

When to use it: Set up your filters once your library is sizeable — it's what makes a big library feel like a real streaming service.

Get found on Google & AI assistants (SEO)

Your public pages, classes and articles are set up to be found on Google and referenced by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude.

Automatically builds a sitemap of your content for search engines (with video details), publishes a machine-readable map for AI assistants, and lets you edit your site title, description and social-share image. Each class page can have its own SEO title, description and keywords.

How it works
  1. 1Open SEO in the admin and set your site title, description and share image.
  2. 2Add SEO details on individual classes where it matters.
  3. 3Optionally turn on public transcript pages to give Google more to index.
  4. 4Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console.

When to use it: Set the basics before launch; revisit SEO on key classes as you grow to pull in free organic traffic.

Engagement & live

Keep members coming back and connected.

Live schedule

A schedule where members see upcoming live sessions (typically over Zoom) in a calendar for the next two weeks, and can sign up straight from the page.

Members get a dedicated "Live classes" page in the menu with a day-by-day overview, and your instructors can create sessions and sell tickets (fixed price, pay-what-you-want, or free). The Zoom link is sent to the participant after they sign up.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Live schedule".
  2. 2Ask an instructor to open "My live classes" and connect Stripe the first time (required to take payment).
  3. 3The instructor clicks "New live class", fills in title, start time, duration, Zoom link and price, and saves.
  4. 4The new session appears automatically in members' schedule.

When to use it: Turn it on if you're running live sessions right now; leave it off if you only offer on-demand video, so members don't see an empty schedule.

Retreats

A dedicated page that showcases upcoming retreats and longer getaways, each with an image, description and date — plus a link out to your own sign-up or info page.

Members get a "Retreats" page in the menu where they can browse your trips and click through to read more or sign up. The actual booking/payment happens on your own external page (retreats aren't paid for inside the platform).

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Retreats".
  2. 2Ask an instructor to open "My retreats" and click "New retreat".
  3. 3Fill in title, description and date, and upload an image.
  4. 4Paste the link to your own retreat page in the "Link to your retreat page" field, and save.

When to use it: Turn it on when you have a retreat to promote; if the page is empty it shows a placeholder preview, so it's best to add at least one real retreat or leave the section off until you do.

Surveys (pre/post-class)

Short feedback questions shown as a small field under the class — before or after the session — so members can share how they're doing. It's not a quiz and there's no grading.

Members see the questions right below the video and can answer without interrupting playback. You collect the responses in admin, with both counts (for multiple choice) and free-text comments in one place.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Surveys".
  2. 2Open "Surveys" from the admin menu.
  3. 3Pick "Pre-class" or "Post-class", choose a question type (free text, single choice or multiple choice), write the question and click "Save".
  4. 4Watch responses build up under each question; use "Hide" to take a question out of view temporarily.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to understand how members feel around classes — for example energy level before or how they feel after; leave it off if you're not collecting feedback.

Community

A dedicated community section with an activity feed of all comments across classes, a directory of members, and messages from you to your members.

Members get a "Community" page where they see what others are commenting on, can react with positive reactions, and read "Start here" pages you create. Members can't private-message each other — only you (admin) can broadcast messages to everyone, and members can write in to you.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Community".
  2. 2Send a welcome message via Admin → Community → "Broadcasts" (a one-way message to all members).
  3. 3Reply to member messages in Admin → Community → "Inbox".
  4. 4Keep the feed tidy via Admin → Community → "Moderation", where reported comments can be hidden or deleted.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to build a sense of community around your classes and stay reachable for members; leave it off if you prefer a clean video library without a social layer.

Global live chat

A setting that makes the live chat under a video show comments from ALL classes at once — not just that single video — so it feels like one lively stream across the whole platform.

Instead of a quiet chat on each individual video, members see the latest comments from across the platform, each tagged with a clickable class title they can jump to. It makes even less-watched videos feel active.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections".
  2. 2Turn on "Global live chat".
  3. 3That's it — the chat under each video automatically switches to showing comments from all classes, with a clickable class title.

When to use it: Turn it on when your library is new or quiet and you want the chat to feel alive; leave it off if you'd rather each video keep its own focused conversation.

Quote of the day

A small inspirational quote shown on members' dashboard (the home page after login), as a calm reminder to carry into their day.

When on, a short "Quote of the day" section appears on the dashboard with a quote and a little encouraging note. It's a built-in, ready-made text — you don't have to write anything yourself.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections".
  2. 2Turn on "Quote of the day".
  3. 3The quote shows automatically on members' dashboard — no extra setup needed.

When to use it: Turn it on if a calm, inspirational tone fits your brand (typical for yoga/wellness); leave it off if it doesn't match your style.

Star ratings & reviews on classes

Let members rate classes from 1 to 5 stars and leave an optional short review; the average and number of ratings show on the class page.

Adds a star rating and review box to each class. Members see the average score and how many people rated it, which helps them pick what to watch and shows you which classes land best.

How it works
  1. 1Open Settings and turn on Class ratings (off by default).
  2. 2Members can now rate and review from any class page.
  3. 3Watch the averages build up.
  4. 4Use the data to feature your highest-rated classes.

When to use it: Turn on once you have a decent library so ratings help members choose — great for surfacing your strongest content.

Member rewards: points, badges & streaks

Reward members for showing up: they earn points for watching classes and passing quizzes, unlock badges, build daily streaks, set a weekly goal, and (optionally) appear on a leaderboard.

Turns watching into a habit. Members see their points, current and longest streak, earned badges and progress toward a weekly goal on a 'My progress' page. You decide whether to show the leaderboard. Habit-building is the single best defence against churn.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on the Learning features (LMS) in Settings, then enable Gamification (off by default).
  2. 2Decide whether to show the leaderboard.
  3. 3Encourage members to set a weekly goal.
  4. 4Watch streaks and badges drive return visits.

When to use it: Switch on once you have enough regular content that members can build a daily or weekly watching habit.

Private notes & favourites

Members can write private, timestamped notes while watching and heart their favourite classes to a personal saved list.

Gives each member their own notebook tied to your videos — they jot notes at specific moments and revisit them later from a single notes page. Favourites give them a one-tap saved list for quick access. It makes the platform feel like a personal learning tool they come back to.

How it works
  1. 1These are built in — no setup needed.
  2. 2Members click the heart on any class to save it.
  3. 3While watching, they add notes from the sidebar.
  4. 4They find everything later under Notes and Favourites.

When to use it: Always on — highlight it during onboarding so members start building their own library right away.

Continue watching & resume

Classes remember where each member stopped, so they can pick up exactly where they left off — and see a 'recently watched' list.

Automatically saves each member's playback position and shows a Continue Watching prompt next time. Their profile lists recently watched classes so it's easy to jump back in — the Netflix-style premium feel members expect.

How it works
  1. 1Built in automatically — no setup.
  2. 2Members just press play; their position is saved.
  3. 3Next visit, they resume from the same spot.
  4. 4Recently watched appears on their profile.

When to use it: Always on — it's part of the premium streaming experience.

Watch on the TV with a phone code

Members log in on a TV by entering a short code on their phone instead of typing an email magic-link with a remote.

Shows a code on the TV screen; the member opens a page on their phone, enters the code to approve it, and the TV signs in — no fiddly typing on the remote. Makes the platform feel like a real living-room streaming app.

How it works
  1. 1Built in — members visit your site on their TV browser.
  2. 2The TV shows a code and a phone web address.
  3. 3On their phone they enter the code and approve.
  4. 4The TV logs in instantly.

When to use it: Always available — mention it to members who watch on big screens (yoga, workouts, courses in the living room).

Growth & communication

Bring people in and reach the ones you have.

Instructors

A dedicated profile page for each of your instructors, with a photo, a short bio, and links to the classes and programs they teach. Members see an overview of all instructors and can click into each one.

When this is on, members get an «Instructors» page in the menu where they can get to know your team, and each profile automatically gathers that instructor's popular classes and programs in one place.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on «Instructors» under Settings → Pages and sections.
  2. 2Go to Instructors in the admin menu and click «+ New instructor».
  3. 3Fill in the name, a short bio and upload a profile photo, then save.
  4. 4Drag and drop instructors in the list to set the order they appear in.

When to use it: Turn it on when you have named instructors you want to showcase as part of your brand; leave it off if your content isn't tied to specific people.

Partner studios

A list of physical studios you partner with, each with its own page: photos, a description, contact info and an invitation for your members to visit. Think of it as a «our friends» directory of partner locations.

When this is on, members get a «Partner studios» page where they can find physical places to train while travelling or living nearby, with offers and a welcome from each studio.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on «Partner studios» under Settings → Pages and sections.
  2. 2Go to Partner studios in the admin menu and click «Create partner studio».
  3. 3Fill in the name, city, description and contact info, and upload a main image and gallery.
  4. 4Optionally write an invitation at the bottom (what a visiting member gets), and leave «Visible to members» on when you're ready to publish.

When to use it: Turn it on if you actually have physical partner studios to feature; leave it off if you're fully digital and don't collaborate with locations.

Invite a friend (referrals)

A referral feature where every member gets their own personal invite link, plus an «Invite a friend» button at the top of the page. The friend gets a free trial, and the member who referred them is credited a free month.

When this is on, members can share their link and earn free months, while new friends get e.g. 30 days free. Everything — the trial, the credit and the reward — happens automatically through Stripe, and you see stats and recent referrals in admin.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Referrals in the admin menu and turn on the feature at the top.
  2. 2Choose how many free days the friend gets and which reward the referrer earns.
  3. 3Decide what members can see (referral count, pending rewards, friends list, leaderboard) under visibility.
  4. 4Track results in the stat cards and the «Recent referrals» table.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want happy members to help you grow through word of mouth; leave it off if you don't want to offer free periods or rewards right now.

Guest pass

A section that lets members give away temporary access to someone else — for example a friend who wants to try the content for a short while.

When this is on, the guest-pass section appears for members. The feature is still being built, so the actual giving-away of access isn't live yet.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Settings → Pages and sections in admin.
  2. 2Find «Guest pass» in the list and use the on/off toggle.
  3. 3Leave it off for now — the full guest-pass flow is coming in a later update.

When to use it: Leave it off until the feature is finished; we'll let you know when guest pass is ready to use.

Playlists

Members can build their own collections of classes in named playlists. You can also, via the assistant Benny, put together a curated playlist for one specific member and attach a personal one-time message.

When this is on, members get a «My playlists» page and a «Playlist» button on classes. A playlist you assign through Benny shows up as «From your coach», and your one-time message appears the first time the member opens it.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on «Playlists» under Settings → Pages and sections (off by default).
  2. 2Members build their own playlists from «My playlists» or the button on a class.
  3. 3To assign a playlist: ask Benny to create one for a specific member and pick the classes.
  4. 4Optionally add a short welcome message, and confirm before Benny sends it.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want members to organise their favourite classes, or when you want to send personally tailored class lists; leave it off if you want to keep the member page simple.

Member messages (email)

A chat window on the member's page in admin where you write a message (or ask Benny to write it) that's sent 1:1 to that one member by email. The thread shows what you've sent and whether it went through.

When this is on, you can send personal emails to one member at a time from your own sending address, and see the status (sent, blocked or failed). It never sends bulk email, and messages respect a member's choice to turn off communication.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on «Member messages» under Settings → Pages and sections (off by default).
  2. 2Open a member under Members in admin — the chat window sits at the top of the page.
  3. 3Write your message and click Send; it goes to the member by email and is saved in the thread.
  4. 4Optionally: ask Benny to draft it, approve the text, and let Benny send it.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to follow up with individual members personally by email; leave it off if you prefer other channels for one-to-one contact.

Email members with Benny

Lets you ask Benny (the assistant) to email members for you — one member, or a small group at once — straight from the chat. Benny always shows you exactly who will receive it and what it says, and waits for your "yes" before anything is sent.

When this is on, you can say things like "email these eight members about the schedule change" and Benny drafts it, previews the recipient list and the message, and only sends after you confirm. Hard limits keep it safe: at most 20 recipients per send and 100 emails per day, blocked or unsubscribed members are skipped automatically, and it is never used for bulk marketing.

How it works
  1. 1Turn on «Benny can send email» under Settings → Pages and sections (off by default).
  2. 2In the Benny chat, tell it who to email and what to say (e.g. «send a note to anna@example.com and the three newest members»).
  3. 3Benny replies with a preview — who gets it and the full message. Read it over.
  4. 4Say «yes, send» to confirm; Benny sends and reports how many went out.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to reach specific members quickly without leaving the chat. Leave it off if all member email should go only through the manual member page.

Email templates

Reusable emails you save once and send by name — for example a «Lifetime welcome» or a «We miss you» message. Create and edit them on the Email templates page, or just ask Benny to save one for you.

When email is on, you (or Benny) can save named templates, then send them in seconds: «send the lifetime template to anna@example.com». Templates can include placeholders like {{fornavn}} (first name) that are filled in for each recipient, so every email feels personal. Sending a template uses the same preview-and-confirm step and the same 20-per-send / 100-per-day limits.

How it works
  1. 1Make sure «Benny can send email» is on under Settings → Pages and sections.
  2. 2Open «Email templates» under Members in the admin menu, give it a name (e.g. «Lifetime welcome»), a subject and the text, then Save. Use {{fornavn}}, {{navn}} or {{tenant_navn}} to personalize.
  3. 3Or in the Benny chat: paste your text and say «save this as an email template» — Benny asks what to call it and saves it.
  4. 4To send: tell Benny «send the lifetime template to …», check the preview, and confirm.

When to use it: Use it for any email you send more than once, so the wording stays consistent and you don't rewrite it each time.

Send email from your own domain

Set up your own sending address so email to members comes from your brand (like hello@yourstudio.com) instead of our platform.

Verifies your domain for email (the technical DKIM/DNS bits) so your messages look professional and are more likely to reach the inbox. Once verified, the emails you send members use your address.

How it works
  1. 1Open Settings → Domain and email, then Email domain.
  2. 2Enter your domain and copy the DNS records it gives you into your domain provider.
  3. 3Wait for verification to go green.
  4. 4From then on, member emails send from your address.

When to use it: Do this right after connecting your domain, before you send your first real member email.

Capture abandoned checkouts & leads

Automatically collect the email addresses of people who started checkout but didn't finish, so you can follow up.

When someone begins a Stripe or ThriveCart checkout and drops off, their email is captured and logged as a lead with a source and stage. You can review your warmest near-misses and reach out.

How it works
  1. 1Open Leads in the admin to see captured emails.
  2. 2Sort by stage and source to find the warmest ones.
  3. 3Reach out (e.g. ask Benny to email them) or apply a coupon to win them back.
  4. 4Watch leads convert into members.

When to use it: Check Leads weekly — these are your warmest prospects who almost signed up.

Unified inbox: messages, comments & broadcasts

One inbox that brings together your direct member messages, the comments left on your classes, and your past email broadcasts — all with reply.

Lets you manage every conversation in one place: answer 1:1 messages, reply to questions left on videos, and see what you've sent before — so nothing slips through the cracks.

How it works
  1. 1Open Messages in the admin.
  2. 2Switch between direct messages, video comments and broadcast history.
  3. 3Reply to members right from the inbox.
  4. 4Spot unanswered comments and clear them out.

When to use it: Check it regularly — fast replies to questions and comments are one of the strongest ways to keep members happy.

Ad tracking pixels

Add advertising and analytics pixels (Google Analytics, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter) so you can measure and optimise your ad campaigns.

Drops the tracking codes onto your site so your ad platforms can see signups and conversions. You control where each pixel runs (public pages, member area or admin) and respect cookie consent.

How it works
  1. 1Open Integrations, then Tracking.
  2. 2Paste in the pixel IDs for the platforms you advertise on.
  3. 3Choose where each one should fire and set consent options.
  4. 4Save — your campaigns can now track conversions.

When to use it: Set up before you start spending on paid ads so you can measure what's working.

Monetization & selling

Turn your content into income — your own payments, plans, trials, packages and promos.

Get paid: connect Stripe & set your prices

Connect your own Stripe account and create the membership plans, prices and free trials your members pay for.

Links your existing Stripe account so payments go straight to you — we never touch your money or your keys. You then build recurring plans (monthly/yearly), set free-trial lengths, decide which plans are public or hidden, and control the order they appear on your pricing page.

How it works
  1. 1Go to Payments, then connect Stripe (you log into your own Stripe account).
  2. 2Open Subscription Plans and create your tiers with prices and trial days.
  3. 3Mark each plan public or private and drag them into the order you want.
  4. 4Preview your pricing page, then turn the plans on.

When to use it: This is your first setup step — nothing can be sold until Stripe is connected and at least one plan is live.

Free trials & automatic billing

Offer a free trial on any plan, then charge the card on file automatically when the trial ends.

Lets you set a trial length per plan. The member enters their card up front, gets full access during the trial, and is billed automatically afterwards unless they cancel — no manual chasing. A free trial is the single biggest lever for that first signup.

How it works
  1. 1Open Subscription Plans and pick a plan.
  2. 2Set the number of trial days.
  3. 3Save and make the plan public.
  4. 4New signups now start on the free trial automatically.

When to use it: Add a trial to your headline plan to lower the barrier to the first signup.

Sell packages & one-off bundles

Package a set of classes or a course into a bundle members can buy once — or give away free — separate from your monthly membership.

Lets you group specific content into a named package with its own one-time price (or free). Buyers unlock exactly that package. You can also lock certain videos as 'bundle only' so they stay hidden from the regular library unless someone owns the bundle — a second revenue stream from the same library.

How it works
  1. 1Open Bundles in the admin and create a new bundle.
  2. 2Add the classes or collections you want inside it and set a price (or make it free).
  3. 3Optionally mark videos 'bundle only' so they're reserved for buyers.
  4. 4Publish — the bundle appears for members to purchase.

When to use it: Use bundles when you have a standout course or themed pack worth selling on its own, or to offer a free taster that captures emails.

Discount codes & coupons

Create discount codes (percentage or fixed amount) members can enter at checkout, or assign a discount straight to a specific member.

Mirrors the coupons from your Stripe account so you manage promos in one place — set the discount size, how long it lasts, and how many times it can be used. You can hand a coupon to an individual member right from your member list.

How it works
  1. 1Open Coupons in the admin.
  2. 2Create a code with your discount type, amount and limits.
  3. 3Share the code in emails or ads, or assign it to a member from the Members list.
  4. 4Track redemptions as they come in.

When to use it: Use for launches, seasonal promos, and win-back offers to lapsed members.

A second checkout: ThriveCart

Use ThriveCart as your checkout instead of (or alongside) Stripe — handy if you already sell through it and want PayPal as well as cards.

Routes buyers to ThriveCart, then automatically creates their member account and keeps their access in sync when they pay, cancel or refund. You choose which checkout your buyers see.

How it works
  1. 1Open Payments, then Providers.
  2. 2Connect ThriveCart and choose it as your checkout provider.
  3. 3Point your ThriveCart products at the matching plans so access is granted on purchase.
  4. 4Test a purchase to confirm the member account is created.

When to use it: Pick this if you already run a ThriveCart funnel or need PayPal at checkout.

Your brand & platform

Make it unmistakably yours — your domain, your design, your homepage — plus the tools to run and grow the business.

Your own branded site on your own domain

Connect your own web address (like app.yourstudio.com or yourstudio.com) so the whole platform runs under your brand, not ours.

Points your domain at your site, sets up the secure padlock (SSL) automatically, and shows you the exact DNS records to paste at your domain registrar. Until you connect one, you get a free address on our platform so you can launch immediately. Members never see 'AutoCreator' — it's your studio at your address.

How it works
  1. 1Open Settings and go to Domain and email.
  2. 2Type the address you want to use (a full domain or a subdomain).
  3. 3Copy the DNS records it shows you into your domain provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  4. 4Wait for it to verify — the secure padlock is added for you.

When to use it: Set this up before you invite real members or run ads, so every link points to your own brand from day one.

Brand your homepage & pricing page

Edit your public homepage — the hero headline, a featured class, your story, categories, FAQs and pricing — plus your brand name, logo and colours.

Gives you a full landing/sales page you control without touching code. Set the headline that greets visitors, spotlight a class, list your programs, answer common questions and show your plans, all in your brand colours and logo.

How it works
  1. 1Open Brand and set your name, logo, colours and language.
  2. 2Open Homepage and fill in the hero, featured class, bullets and FAQs.
  3. 3Add your categories and programs so they show on the page.
  4. 4Preview, then publish.

When to use it: Build this before launch — it's the page that turns visitors into trial signups.

Website themes & dashboard layouts

Choose how your site and member home screen look — pick a design template that fits whether you're a course academy, a streaming library, a wellness studio or a community.

Gives you ready-made layouts for both your public landing page and the logged-in member dashboard. Each template rearranges the home screen to suit a different kind of business, and members can switch between light and dark modes.

How it works
  1. 1Open Theme in the admin.
  2. 2Preview the landing-page and member-area templates.
  3. 3Pick the one that matches your business and brand.
  4. 4Save — your members see the new layout.

When to use it: Choose early so the rest of your setup (homepage, categories) is built around the right look.

Analytics: revenue, MRR & retention

Dashboards that show your net sales, recurring revenue, active members, watch-time trends and how well members stick around.

Pulls your real numbers into clear charts: monthly recurring revenue, active subscriptions, sales over time, what people are watching, and retention — so you can see who's staying and who's drifting away.

How it works
  1. 1Open Analytics in the admin.
  2. 2Browse Sales, Subscriptions, People and Watch for the area you care about.
  3. 3Use the trends to spot your best content and at-risk members.
  4. 4Act — e.g. reach out to members who've gone quiet.

When to use it: Review monthly to track growth, and after any launch or price change to see the impact.

Members & management hub

A full members list where you can search, filter by status (active, trial, churned, paused), sort by how much each member is worth, and take bulk actions.

One screen to manage everyone: find members, see their status and lifetime value, tag or email groups, hand out coupons, grant free access (with an optional expiry date), and zero in on at-risk members.

How it works
  1. 1Open Members in the admin.
  2. 2Filter or search to find the group you want.
  3. 3Select members and apply a bulk action — tag, message or coupon.
  4. 4Open any member to grant free access or check their details.

When to use it: Your daily command centre — use it to onboard, retain, and win back members.

Launch checklist for new studios

A step-by-step checklist that walks you through everything needed to launch — payments, video hosting, plans, content, homepage, domain and email.

Shows you exactly what's done and what's left before you can go live, in the right order, so you never wonder what to set up next.

How it works
  1. 1Open Launch in the admin.
  2. 2Work down the checklist top to bottom.
  3. 3Each item links straight to where you complete it.
  4. 4When everything's ticked, you're ready to open the doors.

When to use it: Start here on day one — it's the fastest path from empty account to live, selling studio.

Invite your team

Invite editors and helpers to your admin so you're not running everything alone.

Lets you add team members with editor access to help manage content and members, while only you (the owner) can invite or remove people — so you stay in control.

How it works
  1. 1Open Team in the admin.
  2. 2Invite a person by email and assign their role.
  3. 3They accept and can start helping.
  4. 4Remove access any time from the same page.

When to use it: Add team members once your workload outgrows doing it all yourself.

One-tap social login

Let members sign in with their Google, Facebook or Apple account instead of creating a new password.

Adds one-tap sign-in buttons so members join and log back in faster, with fewer forgotten-password problems for you to handle.

How it works
  1. 1Open Settings and enable the social login providers you want.
  2. 2Save your provider settings.
  3. 3The sign-in buttons appear on your login page.
  4. 4Members sign in with one tap.

When to use it: Turn on before launch to make signup as frictionless as possible.

AI & automation

Your built-in assistant and AI tools do the heavy lifting — content, images and platform tasks — with an API to automate the rest.

Let Benny run your platform (AI assistant)

Benny is your built-in AI assistant — you chat with it and it actually does things: builds collections, drafts and (with your OK) sends emails, generates content, and pulls up your numbers.

Instead of clicking through menus, you ask Benny in plain language and it takes action across your platform — creating courses, drafting content, answering questions about your members and sales — and remembers your conversation.

How it works
  1. 1Open the Assistant in the admin (included on the Max plan).
  2. 2Tell Benny what you want, e.g. 'make a beginner collection from my 10 newest classes'.
  3. 3Review what it proposes and confirm.
  4. 4Benny carries it out and reports back.

When to use it: Lean on Benny whenever a task would take a lot of clicks — setup, content, member admin and reporting.

AI content: descriptions, blogs, social & SEO

Turn a single class into a pile of marketing content — a polished description, a full blog post, 10+ Instagram hooks, and SEO details — written for you by AI.

Reads your video (and its transcript when available) and drafts ready-to-use content: scan-friendly descriptions, 400–700 word blog posts, social hooks and SEO titles/keywords. You can generate SEO for up to 50 videos at once. Everything lands as a draft for you to review before publishing.

How it works
  1. 1From a video, ask Benny or use the content tools to generate what you need.
  2. 2For SEO, run it in bulk across many videos at once.
  3. 3Open Drafts to review and edit each piece.
  4. 4Publish the ones you like; discard the rest.

When to use it: Run it on every new upload to squeeze maximum marketing mileage out of one filming session.

AI images: thumbnails, hero & social

Generate custom thumbnails, homepage hero images and social-media graphics with AI, using your brand's colours and style.

Creates images sized for the job — class thumbnails, a 1920×1080 hero, or square/landscape social posts — and takes your brand colours, niche and tone into account so they look like yours, not generic stock.

How it works
  1. 1Ask Benny or use the image tools and describe what you want.
  2. 2It generates options in the right size for thumbnails, hero or social.
  3. 3Pick the one you like.
  4. 4Apply it to the class, homepage or download it for social.

When to use it: Use whenever you need a polished image and don't want to hire a designer or hunt for stock.

Drafts: review AI output before it goes live

A single place where everything the AI writes — descriptions, blog posts, social hooks, SEO — waits for your approval before it's published.

Collects all AI-generated drafts in one workspace so nothing goes public automatically. You read, edit and either publish or discard each piece individually, keeping full control over your brand voice.

How it works
  1. 1Open Drafts in the admin.
  2. 2Review each AI-generated item.
  3. 3Edit anything that needs your touch.
  4. 4Publish the keepers or delete the rest.

When to use it: Check Drafts after any AI content run — it's your quality gate before anything reaches members or Google.

Developer API & agent access

A secure API that lets you (or your developer, or AI agents) automate your platform and connect it to outside tools.

Exposes your content, members, analytics and more through a documented API with role-based permissions and rate limiting. It ships with a machine-readable spec so external scripts, AI agents and no-code tools can discover and use it.

How it works
  1. 1Open the Developers area to see the API docs.
  2. 2Create access with the right permission scopes for your use case.
  3. 3Point your script, agent or no-code tool at the API.
  4. 4Automate the tasks you'd otherwise click through.

When to use it: Use when you want to automate bulk work or integrate the platform with tools you already run.
