Member portal

The self-service area where members manage their own plan and billing.

The member portal is where someone updates their card, downloads an invoice, changes tier, or cancels — without emailing you.

It is a support-cost lever as much as a courtesy feature. Card updates and invoice requests are among the most common membership support tickets, and a portal removes both categories entirely.
