What is an online community on systeme.io?
An online community on systeme.io is a private or public discussion space hosted directly inside your systeme.io account — alongside your courses, funnels, and email list. Members can post, comment, upload files, record voice memos, and embed videos. Access is sold via your existing sales funnels using one-time payments or monthly subscriptions, replacing tools like Facebook Groups, Circle, or Mighty Networks.

Frequently asked questions about systeme.io online communities
A systeme.io community is a private or public space where your members can post, discuss, and connect — hosted on your domain, not on Facebook or a third-party platform. You create topics to organise content, approve posts before they appear if you want moderation, schedule posts in advance, and sell access through your existing funnels with one-time fees or recurring subscriptions. Members join through a checkout page and get instant access without a separate login system.
Yes. You connect your community directly to a sales funnel — when someone purchases access (one-time or subscription), they are automatically added to the community. systeme.io charges 0% transaction fees, so you keep the full membership revenue minus payment processor fees. You can offer tiered access (e.g., free community posts vs. paid premium content) using different funnel steps and community access levels.
You can migrate your audience but not your existing posts. Announce the move to your Facebook group members and invite them to join your systeme.io community via a free opt-in or paid offer. Historical discussions in the Facebook group stay there. Going forward, all new conversations happen in your systeme.io community — which you own and control, unlike a Facebook group where Meta sets the rules. The switch typically works best as a phased transition rather than a hard cutover.
No. The community feature is included on all systeme.io plans. There is no per-member fee, no hosting surcharge, and no transaction fee on membership payments. The free plan supports the community feature; higher plans increase the contact and member limits.
systeme.io covers the core features: topics, posts, comments, file uploads, voice memos, video embeds, scheduled posts, post approval, and custom domain. The main advantage over Circle or Mighty Networks is that email marketing, sales funnels, and courses are all in the same account — one login covers your entire business. The gap is that systeme.io does not yet offer a branded mobile app, which platforms like Mighty Networks provide on higher-tier plans.
