Facebook groups vs. Lockers
A Facebook group alternative where you start free and sell courses for $7 a month.
Bring your group to a Locker at its own address, where members take your courses, register for your events and pay for membership. Free includes unlimited members and courses, Basic adds course and ticket sales for $7 a month, and Pro adds paid membership and your own domain for $67 a month.
The community page: left navigation, category tabs, a feed with a pinned welcome post, and a right rail with a getting-started checklist, the community card and the newest members.

What your members get in a Locker
Keep a list of everyone who joins
The owner can export the community as a ZIP file with every member's name and email address, along with posts, courses and events. Each person who joins your Locker is added to the member records in your next export.
- Owners can download the export at any time, in parts for large communities.
Give every post a category members can return to
Members post in a feed with categories you name, comment on each other's posts, run polls and send private messages. Each post keeps the category it was posted in, so a member can open that category and see every post in it. Pin a welcome post so new members see it first, and let members find each other in the directory or start a private group chat of up to 50 people.
- Your Locker has its own lockers.social address with your colors, logo and cover image.
Teach what your members keep asking about
Add your videos and files in the course studio to create lessons, then group them into modules with saved progress and lesson discussion. On Basic, you host unlimited video and set a one-time course price. Events have a registration page, and Lockers emails each registered person the day before the event and 15 minutes before each session they picked. When you open an event to guests, people outside your community register free with a Lockers account, and on Basic or Pro you can sell them tickets.
- Pro adds quizzes, certificates, events with several sessions and Live hosting with recording for up to 100 people.
Charge for membership and connect your other tools
On Pro, you can sell a monthly or yearly membership that includes every course, the feed, messages and member events. Payments go to your own Stripe account, with a 1% Lockers fee on each payment, renewals included, plus Stripe processing. The API and signed webhooks send new members to your email or CRM tool, with a separate key and permissions for each tool, and Pro connects your own domain.
- Pro is $67 a month or $670 a year for each Locker.
