GoHighLevel includes built-in community tools that let you create a private, paid group without sending members to a third-party platform. Set up a community group under Memberships, make it private, add a subscription price, and your members join and pay without leaving your branded space. You can attach courses to the group, create private channels, and automate access so the whole thing runs without manual work.

Summary. GoHighLevel's community feature lets coaches, founders, and course creators run a fully gated, subscription-based group inside the platform. Pricing options include recurring or one-time billing with optional trial days. Private channels inside the group give you a way to segment conversations by topic or membership tier. Courses created in the Memberships section can be added directly to the group and set to display for all members or only for those who have made an additional purchase.
