Create your workspace

Give your community a name and a description. This is the home everything else lives in.

Set up your channels

Your group starts with five channels, and you can add more for your own topics. Members reply in a thread or with a quote, so the context never gets lost. New members see a clear structure, not a wall of messages.

Bring your people in

Share your group's invite link, and people join right away, or first buy a plan where joining requires one. If you choose approval, each person joins once you accept their request. Members see every channel open to all members, plus the channels of any plan they buy.

Set roles and privacy

Decide who is an admin, and choose who can post in each channel: the owner, the owner and admins, or everyone. You delegate without losing control. Only members see the conversations.

Turn on paid access, if you want

Set a price, and members pay through Stripe. Access starts as soon as they pay. A subscription can be billed monthly or yearly. If its payments stop, access lasts until the end of the paid period. A one-time payment doesn't renew. Keep some channels open to every member, and limit others to the plans you choose.

Then keep your people close

Notifications bring members back, and your channels and messages are the same on web, iOS, and Android. The daily habit is what keeps it alive.

What it looks like for your members

Your members get a group chat they already know how to use. They join with a link and see the channels they have access to. In a paid group, they buy a plan in the browser, and the mobile apps send them there. No accounts to juggle, no learning curve.

    @Chloe Barnes would pears work instead of apples?

Setup questions

How long does setup take?

A few minutes. Create a workspace, add a channel or two, and share an invite link.

Can I start free and add paid access later?

Yes. Run a free community for as long as you like, and turn on paid groups whenever it makes sense. Stripe Connect pays out to the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein, Canada, and Switzerland.

Do my members need the app?

They can use Groupanda on the web or install the iOS or Android app. Channels and messages are the same everywhere. In a paid group, they buy a plan in the browser, and the mobile apps send them there.
