Configuring Members Only

Go through the settings, read the descriptions, and change things to your liking. Let’s walk through the individual settings.
General Settings
Account page
Members Only requires this page to be defined.
As the description says, this is where your members manage their accounts on your site. Members Only uses this page to:
- Display a list of subscriptions the member has associated with their account.
- Provide members a way to manage their subscriptions. They can cancel any active subscriptions. Cancelled or expired subscriptions are displayed, but members cannot “manage” them.
- Provide members a way to download a PDF copy of their latest invoice.
- Display the initial purchase receipt to the member after completing their payment, which also includes a link to continue to their Account dashboard to see the items listed in the points above.
