Membership is a custom post type that maintains the relation between content and paddle plan or product.

1. Enter a membership plan title: It will be used internally to controlling download/content access.
2. Choose membership type: Recurring for paddle plans, one-off means life-time access to your product.
3. Paddle subscription plan: Assign multiple paddle subscription plans into a membership plan. (in case you want to create different plans for monthly subscription vs yearly subscription)
4. (Optional) If you enabled self-service subscription upgrade/downgrade you need to map available plans in that section.
5. License: enable licensing for this particular plan
6. Enter domain count: (Enter "0" for unlimited usage) [Learn more about how does domain count](https://handyplugins.co/paddlepress-pro/docs/how-does-the-domain-count/).
