Hi ProductHunt!
It’s a pivotal moment for small businesses that make our city feel like home. It's not an easy time to run a storefront.
And yet, for the hundreds of businesses already using Withfriends, memberships are making this year significantly easier. Bluestockings bookstore, a beacon of literary culture in the Lower East Side, is moving into a larger location with the support of their rapidly growing community of members. Dimo’s Pizza, in Chicago, is selling memberships with every slice, for pickup and delivery. Sweat Records, in Miami, has raised almost $10k and counting in annual revenue.
When we built our first prototype of Withfriends, Joe (@textbrain) and I (@djkgamc) discovered an exciting fundamental truth: 1 in 20 customers will choose to buy a membership in order to support a small business, if you ask them during checkout. That's enough to increase recurring revenue for any small business by 60%!
But we also know that it's a burden on your staff to integrate memberships into your business.
That's why we built technology that connects to your point-of-sale or online store in a few minutes, and allows any small business to start selling memberships automatically!
Does your business use Square, Shopify, Squarespace, Toast, ChowNow, or Eventbrite? You can instantly start selling memberships today by connecting your store to Withfriends.
How it works:
🛒Your customers receive a personalized membership upsell after they make a purchase, with an automatic rebate on their purchase when they become a member.
🛍️Members receive discounts, and other perks you can choose
📈Your business earns 60% more revenue through memberships
💎Our technology automates everything

If anyone wants to debate me as to why I don't think this will be an absolutely massive business, please hit me up because I'd love to convince you. Subscriptions are extremely dominant business models, and we need community more than ever. It's a win-win to nudge people to revisit the places they were willing to subscribe to.
When you think how the future will largely be automated, I assure you that you'll love to come back to the same shop with a friendly employee you know by first name.
In fact, this business model feels a lot like Costco, just at another layer in the metaverse - shift the profit to the membership, keep product prices lower (therefore tax), and we're all happy.
Better yet, Joe has the ultimate collection of retro cassettes. What will it take for him to offer that as a subscription on Withfriends? ;)
@tonydiepenbrock gotta build some content sharing features. Once we do that, I will absolutely offer a cassette listening subscription. I love that idea.
WIthfriends makes my creative endeavors sustainable. I use WF to run memberships and tickets for my supper club (which started as a fun idea and is now in its third year of success!) Check out Tile Table Supper Club! Up-vote Withfriends!
