I didn't want a monthly membership to my community so i created a paid product, it's just a pdf file that explained how people could access the free community, so it's a "one time fee" to the community. It's only for my course students.
Now that communities are going to be included with every product including free downloads (which I do not want), how do I keep my currently "free" community closed to everyone but the people who purchase that pdf product? I don't want a monthly paid community.
Also, I currently have my community set to hidden (since it's free) so only people who I invite can enter the community (that way I can check that they did in fact purchase the product to give them access), do I keep it set to hidden and closed so it's invite only?
If i don't want a community to anyone who just downloads a free item or any product, how do i keep them out?
Thank you.
