New on Substack: gift subscriptions!
Every day, the Substack team helps readers who have questions about their paid subscriptions. One frequent question is our favorite:
Can I buy a subscription to give as a gift?
Starting today, the answer is: Yes!
How do I buy a gift subscription?
If you are subscribed to a publication, there’s a new button on your account page, just below your payment details, that lets you purchase a gift subscription.
How can publishers tell their readers about gifting?
As a publisher, there is a new button type you can use:
You can use it in posts, on your about page, or in your welcome email.
That’s it! As always, if you have questions, feedback, or ideas please leave a comment.
Oh, and nobody buy gift subscriptions for On Substack. You get it for free when you create a publication!
Unless you just want to give us money, that is.
Cool! Do you have to be a paying subscriber yourself in order to buy someone a gift sub?
You don’t! If you want to make it easy for non-subscribers to find the gifting feature, you can put it on you about page, in posts, or link to it directly.
Hi, is it possibile to give a gift subscription to people who invite other people to join? Something like "invite a friend"...
