How do audience tiers work for member content?

When a member is logged in to your site, your app signs a short JWT token identifying their tier (e.g. 'free', 'member', 'vip'). Upsell Buddy reads that token and unlocks the knowledge tagged for their tier. Free-tier visitors only ever see public content. No token, no private answers.

Can it capture leads for free trial signups?

Yes. Visitors can subscribe to a waitlist, start a free trial, or sign up for a newsletter entirely in chat — name and email are captured inline without a separate form. Leads land in your dashboard inbox and can be exported or forwarded to your email marketing tool.

Does it work with WordPress membership plugins?

Yes. For WordPress-based membership sites (MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, etc.) use the Upsell Buddy WordPress plugin plus the signed identity feature. See the /for/wordpress guide for the WordPress-specific setup.
