About This Feature
Early Access, or Product Duration, allows admins to control a product's availability by setting specific start and end dates and granting early access to registered members. This is ideal for products such as cohort-based courses.
How It Works
Fixed Duration: With Fixed Duration, admins can specify a product's start and end date.
- Start date: This is defined as the date the Product starts. Members can register for the product before this date but will not be able to see content or participate. On the start date, members will have full access.
- End date: This date is for informational and registration purposes only; members will continue to have access to the Product after this date. It is important to note that when the toggle is OFF, the product is evergreen, and Members are granted full access at registration.
Early Access: Enabling early access allows registered Members to access the product before the Start Date.
How to Set a Fixed Duration and Enable Early Access
- Navigate to the Product Settings and switch to the ‘Availability’ tab.
- Scroll down to the end of the tab and toggle ON the ‘Fixed Duration.’
- From the date picker, select a date range of when the product starts and ends.
- To enable early access, toggle ON and select which date members should be granted access. The early access date should be at least one day before the start date.
