Creator questions.

Can I keep some posts free?
Yes. Smart Rules™ are opt-in per post, page, or category, so your public content stays public and only what you choose sits behind the paywall.
Do I need a separate email tool?
SmartMembers sends the transactional emails — welcome, renewal, and failed payment. For newsletters it integrates with the major providers rather than replacing them.
What happens when someone cancels?
Access continues until the end of the period they already paid for, then the member is downgraded automatically. Nothing is deleted, so a returning member picks up where they left off.
