Can I change the price of my subscription offering after I set it?
As price changes need to be handled with care to not upset your fanbase, this functionality will not be possible during the initial period of this feature. We’ve added more pricing tier options to create more flexibility for creators. We anticipate this functionality being available in the future.
Do my listeners need to be on Spotify to subscribe to my content?
While Spotify provides the most seamless subscription and listening experience, listeners have the option of adding a private RSS feed to their listening app of choice once they’ve subscribed to your show.
Can I also have Listener Support enabled?
