Start a club with Good Post Co

You make the mail. We run the business side of your club: taking payment from your subscribers, sales tax from start to finish, receipts, refunds, and paying you after each mailing goes out. We are the seller on every membership, so you never register for sales tax or file a return for it. We take 10% of each payment, before sales tax, and pay the card fees out of it. The one cost passed on, at what Stripe charges us, is the fee when a subscriber disputes a charge.

Already have a website for your club? Keep it. Your subscribers join and pay through us, and the rest of your site stays yours. No website? We host a page for your club.

Questions first? Read what creators usually ask, or email support@goodpostco.com, and a person will answer. We reply within 2 business days. If it’s urgent, start your subject with “Urgent” and we’ll get to it sooner.

Apply for your club

This takes about five minutes. Your answers set your club up, so there’s no back and forth by email. Not sure about something? Give us your best guess. You can change any of it before your club opens.

What happens next

We read your application, usually within two working days.
Once it’s approved, we set up your club from your answers and email you a link to your studio.
In your studio, a short checklist walks you through the rest: the creator agreement, connecting your bank through Stripe, and your club’s page.
When everything is ticked, press “Ask us to open”. We open your club, usually the same day, and you can start sharing it.

Every question needs an answer unless it says optional.

Will you email your members updates?We’ll send them for you, from your club’s name, and your club page will say what members get. People can stop them any time.

No, just the letters

A short email before each mailing, with a sneak peek and the last day to join

Occasional news, like a new tier or a break

Let people who haven’t joined yet sign up for updates too

Good for a waitlist, or for telling people when your club opens.

How many members can you take?You can change this any time in your studio. When every spot is taken, your page says the club is full and stops taking sign-ups by itself.

No limit for now

Up to a number:

Most members at once

Show “3 spots left” on my page when 10 or fewer are left

When I’m full, let people join a waitlist

When a spot opens, email

A few people at a time, in the order they joined (three for each open spot)

Everyone on the waitlist at once

Nobody until I press “Email the waitlist now” in my studio

Last thing

I’m 18 or over, I live in the US, and I have a US bank account for payouts.

Stripe, which pays you, checks this when you connect your bank. Some things can’t go in the mail. See what we can’t sell.
