Where are my creator home overview metrics?
On your new Membership dashboard in the Membership summary section, we’ve included your estimated patron count and per month earnings.
This number fluctuates depending on your patron count, adjustments to pledged amounts, declines, and cancellations. We display annual pledges as their monthly equivalent (annual pledge amount divided by 12).
Updates to Membership tier editor
We’ve made a clearer Membership tier editing experience so that you can create your first tier or manage existing tiers with greater ease.
What’s changed?
Membership tier editor
We’ve centralized the tier creation workflow on desktop and mobile web. Here’s how to access and create your first tier:
- While logged in to your creator profile, click on My Page if you aren’t already there
- Click the Page controls or “...” button
- Select the Edit Tiers link
- You’ll land on your Membership tiers page
Creating or editing a tier
We’ve brought the most important elements of the tier creation process to the forefront, with; the tier name, tier price, tier description, and the tier image, accessed at the top pf the tier editor.
To create your first tier, or edit an existing tier visit your Membership tier page. From here you can click the Add tier button, or click the Edit tier button on an existing tier to open the tier editor.
