Running a 30-day challenge? A 90-day cohort? Want to give members access to something for a limited time only?

Heartbeat makes it easy to set up paid, time-bound experiences that automatically remove access after a set number of days — no manual work required.

Here’s how to do it:

✅ Step 1: Navigate to Offers

• Click the Settings icon in the top right corner of your community

• Click Offers in the left sidebar

• Make sure your Stripe account is connected
  (If it’s not, you’ll be prompted to connect it — takes less than a minute)

✅ Step 2: Create a One-Time Payment Offer

• Click Create Offer

• Choose the Digital Product option
  (This is best for one-time access windows like a 30-day or 90-day challenge)

• Give your offer a name like “30-Day Challenge” or “90-Day Sprint”

✅ Step 3: Create or Select an Access Group

• You can either:

  • Create a new access group (e.g. “30 Day Challenge”)

  • Or use an existing group if you've already built one

• Add any relevant content to this access group:

  • 📚 A course (e.g. Marketing Mastery)

  • 🗓 Weekly office hours events

  • 💬 Discussion channels

✅ Step 4: Set Pricing

• Choose a one-time price (e.g. $250)

• Optional: Add installment plans (e.g. 2 payments of $125)

✅ Step 5: Set the Access Window

• On the final step of the offer builder, scroll to Access Duration

• Choose Remove access after 30 days

• This ensures members will be automatically removed from:

  • The course

  • Events

  • Discussion channels
    ...after 30 days

✅ Step 6: Show a Post-Access Message (Optional)

• Add a custom popup that members see when their access ends

• Great for:

  • Thanking them for joining

  • Offering an upgrade path

  • Linking to a signup page for another membership tier

Once finished, Heartbeat handles everything — from access control to content visibility — for a fully automated time-based experience.
