Gifts

Anyone can give your club as a gift: 3, 6 or 12 mailings, paid once, sent to the person they choose. A gift never renews, so nobody has to remember to cancel it.

There's nothing to set up. As soon as your club can take subscribers, your club page shows a Give it as a gift link, and the gift page lives at mailclubly.com/@your-club/gift. Share that link before birthdays and holidays (see Share your club).

What buyers pay

• Your subscription price for each mailing, with your prepay discount for that length when you offer one (a 6-mailing gift costs the same as your 6-month plan).
• Shipping for each mailing, at your usual rate for the recipient's country.
• A founding price never applies to gifts, and a free first month doesn't either.

If you have tiers, the buyer picks which tier to give.

What you see

• You get a New gift email.
• In Subscribers, the gift shows Gift from [name] and Gift · 3 mailings (or 6, or 12) as its plan. The address is the recipient's.
• In your mailing lists, the gift is shipped like any member. On its first mailing, you see who it's from and their gift message, so you can add a little note. The CSV export has Gift from and Gift message columns.
• Your signup questions are answered by the buyer, for the recipient.

Emails

Every email about a gift goes to the buyer, never to the recipient, so the surprise stays a surprise: the confirmation, each "your mail is on the way" email, and a last one when the final letter ships.

When a gift ends

A gift ends once its last mailing is marked shipped, or a week after that mailing's ship date if it never is. It then shows Ended in your subscribers.

Refund a gift

In Subscribers → Details, click Refund this gift… to refund it in full.

Fees

The same as a subscription: 8% of what the buyer paid on the Free plan, 0% on Pro. See Fees.
