Go-Live Checklist

Everything to check before you announce a paid community on Subscriby: account, project, connector rights, plans, live payments, portal, support and recovery.

Run through this page once before you announce your community. Every line links to the page that sets it up; the quickstart builds all of it in order if you are starting from nothing.

Account

Project

  • The project is Active (project settings). An inactive project's bot stays silent and its portal takes no signups.
  • Name, description, banner and logo are set. The description's first 155 characters are the snippet search engines show for the portal, so lead with what members get.
  • Your own terms and privacy documents are linked, or you are happy with the defaults the bot asks members to accept.
  • A portal handle is set if you want the hosted page at a memorable address (Starter and above).

Connector and places

  • The connector is installed and its bot connected (connectors).
  • The bot is an administrator of every place a plan grants, with the right to invite members by link; that second right is usually a separate toggle and the one most often missing (why the rights matter).
  • Every place is linked as a resource, and anything you hand over yourself is a manual resource (resources).

Plans

  • At least one plan is Active and linked to the resources it unlocks (subscription plans).
  • Prices, billing cycles and trial rules are what you mean to sell, and the storefront order puts the plan you want bought first at the top.
  • Plans are synced to the providers that keep a product catalogue (sync subscription plans).

Payments

  • At least one payment method is Active in Live mode with live keys (payment methods). A method in Test or Sandbox mode takes no real money, and a portal whose gateways are all in test mode is kept out of search results.
  • You have made one test purchase in Test mode and switched the method to Live afterwards, or added a separate Live method and deactivated the test one.
  • Access Codes is switched on as a method if you sell offline, gift memberships or run giveaways (access codes).

Sharing

  • The portal page renders with your branding and every active plan (share your project).
  • Your bot link, plan deep links or QR codes are ready for wherever you announce.

Members and support

Recovery

  • The readiness tiles are green: a standby bot, a standby for every place, automatic failover and a live mirror of every broadcast place (readiness checklist).
  • A second human administrator sits in every place and a copy of your content lives outside the platform, the two lines no tile can verify.

Once the first member pays, transactions, analytics and exports are where you watch it grow, and webhooks and the integrations carry every event to the tools you already run.
