Here's How To Auto Remove Non-Paying Skool Members With Separate Billing

Wanted to share a workaround fix for people using separate billing for their Skool Groups.

For example:

Let's say you use stripe to bill members for your monthly subscription, but you don't want to have to manually cross reference paying/non-paying members in Skool to make sure the correct people have access.

Maybe you charge a setup fee, or are an affiliate for other softwares which grant people access to your stuff so not everyone pays directly via Skool.

Step 1: I created a course inside my paid community (which has only certain members have access) permissions called 'Subscription Failed'

Step 2: Build a Zapier Workflow to trigger on the failed payment and use the action 'Unlock Course' for people when their payment fails, then select your 'Subscription Failed Course'.

The course can also be a short video tutorial showing people how to gain access again.

Step 3: In the members tab, you can filter by only the people who have access to the 'Subscription Failed Course' and simply remove them!

I have been thinking about this for quite a while and think this is a decent short term solution that way it'll save me a lot of time cross-referencing my list and who is on Skool

My main revenue stream is being an affiliate for another software so people get access to the community as long as they keep their subscription active
