Charge members with MonCash or card
8 min read · Beginner · Guide 8 of 9
You can make your community paid: members pay you to get in and to stay. The money goes to your own MonCash or Stripe account. MonCash and Stripe charge their own fees.
What you need
- To be an owner of a school or creator organisation on Etensèl.
- In Haiti: a MonCash business account (its Client ID and secret).
- Outside Haiti: a Stripe account, made during setup.
1. Turn on Paid membership
Go to My account → Organisation → Paid membership. Tick "Learners pay to be members", then set:
| Setting | What it means |
|---|---|
| Monthly price, by card (US dollars) | What a member pays each month by card, in US dollars. Leave it empty to turn card payments off. |
| Price for 30 days, by MonCash (gourdes) | What a member pays for 30 days by MonCash, in gourdes. Leave it empty to turn MonCash off. |
| Free days for current learners | Days your current learners keep for free when you switch. 30 by default. |
Your current learners get the free days at once, so nobody is locked out by surprise.
2. Connect a way to get paid
- MonCash (Haiti): paste your MonCash business Client ID and secret. Then copy the return address shown on the card into your MonCash business portal.
- Card (outside Haiti): select Connect Stripe and finish Stripe's setup. Card payments start once Stripe says your account is ready.
3. Share your invite link
Your invite link now shows the price before anyone signs up. A new member joins, pays, and gets in.
4. Follow the money
My account → Member payments lists every payment, the total of the last 30 days, and who has access. You can download it as a CSV file. To give someone free days, open the member's page in the dashboard and use Give access.
Good to know: when a member's access ends, they get 3 extra days before they lose it. Nothing is deleted: a new payment brings everything back.
