Enable the switch here at Enable Assign Paid Post and set one or more paid post/courses to assign if members purchase a membership plan as per your requirements.

If the paid post and membership plan both are of recurring type then the paid post will not be renewed then you renew the membership plan, both the cycles will work differently.
