Featuring subscription upgrades and pricing on your site

The Pricing block in the Website Builder lets you showcase multiple subscription tiers (including a free tier), feature subscription gifts, recommendations, and more on a dedicated Upgrade page or anywhere else on your site. 

Many of our pre-built website templates include an Upgrade page that features a Pricing block, which can easily be customized and reused. You can also add a Pricing block to any of your site pages. However, you’ll need to be on a paid beehiiv plan in order to publish a page with a Pricing block. 

Additionally, since the options in the Pricing block are tied to your Paid Subscriptions, you’ll need to complete the following setup steps first:

1. Connect your Stripe account: Connect your Stripe account to enable payment processing. This is required to create and manage multiple subscription tiers.
2. Enable Paid Subscriptions: In your Paid Subscriptions settings, the option to Enable Paid Subscriptions for your readers must be toggled on, showing in color. This allows readers to subscribe to your paid or free tiers.
3. Set up at least one subscription tier: Create one or more subscription tiers, refer to this article for guidance. Once tiers exist, you can also enable a free tier (see steps below).

After completing these initial steps, you’ll be ready to customize your Pricing block and reuse it across other pages on your site.

1. Open your publication site in the Website Builder.
    
2. Access the Pricing block. If your template includes an Upgrade page, you can access it from the left toolbar. Click the Pages icon, then select Upgrade.   
   
   
   
   
   Otherwise, click the + icon in the left toolbar and select the Pricing block under Synced, then drag and drop in onto the desired place on your canvas.  

3. The Paid Subscription tiers you have set up in your account will appear in the Pricing block on the canvas (unless you have placeholder content enabled). Click the Pricing block to open its settings in the design panel on the right, then select Tiers.
