How do I give one-time support/a donation?

What is one-time support or a donation?


One-time support is where you give money to a community the same way you would when you create a subscription, except for the fact that we will not automatically charge you the next month. You pay one time for the duration and that's it. If you want to continue getting supporter access, you need to either create a subscription or do a one-time support each month you want access.

How do I give one-time support?



On the support landing page of a community, you can choose the Give once option (if the community has credit card payments set up). This page is usually found here: communityname.locals.com/support

Note: You can donate however much you want (as long as it's the minimum amount), but regardless of how much you pay, you will only get 30 days of supporter access.

If you are already subscribed, you will see the option to give one-time support on the Manage Support page for the community, found on the left side menu (ex: communityname.locals.com/subscription). This is for people who just want to give more to the creator. You don't get additional benefits.

Alternatively, you can give one-time support by paying with Locals coins on the website or the app (coins are the only option on the app). When you subscribe using Locals coins currency, it's a one-time payment that won't auto-renew for a set time period of 3, 6, or (if available) 12 months.
