Premium newsletter enhancements

Launching a premium newsletter on beehiiv is simple — with just a few clicks you can accept payments, manage subscriptions, and convert free readers into paying subscribers.

beehiiv takes 0% of subscriptions revenue, so what you charge is what you earn (minus Stripe fees).

And today we’re introducing a brand new upgrade page featuring

  • Credit card processing on the same page to optimize conversion

  • Custom pricing, tiers, and promotions

  • More styling options to fit your aesthetic

Upgrade page hosted on beehiiv

This is just the first of many updates to come. Expect more layouts, sections, styles, markdown support, testimonials, and more… coming soon.

Also launching today is the ability to attribute upgrades and downgrades to specific posts and content.

For those with a premium newsletter, you’ll now see a Premium Data tab on your post overview page — making it easy to track which content drives the most upgrades.

You’ll also be able to see the number of upgrades at a glance anywhere content is shown in the platform. Check out the new 💵 icon on the far right below.

New Boosts publication dashboard

Our network of newsletters are getting paid tens of thousands of dollars each week and we’re in the midst of giving it a massive boost to streamline the entire process end-to-end.

Today we’re launching a brand new publication-specific dashboard for those looking to grow using Boosts.

Visit Grow → Boosts to access your primary Boosts dashboard. There, you can see an overview of every publication that is driving subscribers to your newsletter.
