I have a free month offer to try the community. Do I get charged automatically after my free month ends?

Yes, your card will be charged automatically at the end of your free month, unless you cancel before then. However, we are confident you will want to continue when you see the level of support and shear amount of content on the community.

What is Locals?

Locals is a subscription-based community platform. This is a place for independent creators to publish content, engage with supporters, and make money from subscriptions.

What are Locals coins?

Locals coins is used as a type of currency on the Locals app. Members can purchase coins equivalent to a month's worth of support and then give the coins to the creators as a form of payment. This is a route we had to take in order to satisfy Apple and Google store guidelines. We encourage members to support via web when possible, you will be able to access the app as a supporter if you've subscribed via the web already.

What do I get access to as a supporter?

As a supporter, you will be able to post and comment on posts in the community you support. You can participate in Live Streams and Chats when a creator starts one. You will also be able to view supporter only posts and comment on them as well. These supporter only posts can vary in content by creators; some will post exclusive videos/podcasts, some will give discount codes or early access to different events, or share personal posts they would otherwise not share in public, etc. Content can be accessed easily by supporters in the Content Library as well.

Where can I manage my subscriptions?

You can manage your subscriptions in the Manage Support tab on the left side navigation on the web version inside of each community you are a part of or in the Settings page from the app.

How can I update to an annual subscription?

If a community has annual subscriptions, you can currently update a monthly subscription to an annual subscription if you supported the community with a credit card. If you are currently subscribed via a different method, you will need to cancel your existing subscription and create a new one with a credit card to get this option.

How do I use a promo code?

Promo codes are created by creators in a community to offer free trials or discounts. Promo codes can only be used on new subscriptions and ones paid by credit cards (not coins). When using a promo code, make sure you "Apply" them correctly. They will explicitly tell you what you are getting before you submit your payment.

Does subscribing multiple times extend my current subscription time?

No, subscriptions/support will alway start immediately as they are each separate supports. They do not stack and extend on top of each other. If you decide to do this for whatever reason, just be aware that you will be paying for overlapping periods.

How do I create my own community?
