Turn your subscription tiers into communities. Give your subscribers a space of their own to chat with you, connect with each other, and belong to a group of supporters just like them. Subscribers-Only Channels are a new type of Messages channel that connects to your subscription tiers. When someone subscribes, they're added automatically and keep access as long as they’re subscribed, without you needing to lift a finger to manage member lists. It's a private community for the people who back you directly, and it's yours to use however you want. [DEVIATION] Creating a Subscribers-Only Channel You can set up this type of channel when creating or editing subscription tiers, and it’ll show up in your list of tier benefits. You can mix and match channels with your tiers in a way that keeps your community organized the way you want. For example, you can set up one channel for all 3 of your tiers, or create a channel for each tier. [DEVIATION] How Subscribers-Only Channels
