Add perks to a membership program

Decide what paid members get for their money. Charm uses the same benefit engine as VIP tiers, so a membership can grant shipping, discounts, discounted products, cashback, monthly store credit, or a custom perk card.

  1. Go to Program → Paid memberships and open the membership to edit (or + Add membership).
  2. Under Member benefits, click + Add benefit, pick a type (Free shipping, Percentage discount, Amount discount, Free / discounted product, Store credit cashback, Monthly store credit, or Custom benefit) and set its value.
  3. Where How it’s given appears, leave it on Always on, the default.
  4. Click Done, repeat for each perk, then Save.

Free shipping, Percentage discount and Amount discount can each require a minimum order value — see require a minimum order for a perk.

Free / discounted product can cover one product, several products (click Pick products and choose up to 10), or a collection. On a membership, every product in the list is discounted, not just one of them; Summary confirms it with “Each of the 3 products is discounted.”

Monthly store credit turns the membership fee into spendable credit: each time the membership subscription bills successfully, the member receives the configured Credit per billing cycle as store credit — a $10/month member getting $10 back each cycle effectively shops their fee back, usually above its face value. The credit is issued once per billing cycle, and a customer holding two memberships gets the credit of the one that billed.

Each perk’s dialog ends with Customer-facing appearance, where Benefit text renames the perk for customers (per language, if your store has several), and a Summary of what the perk amounts to.
