Description

WooCommerce Memberships

A membership solution 100% integrated with your content and products.
WooCommerce Memberships is not just another plugin for restricting your site’s content: it’s an easy-to-use, site-wide membership solution that brings your content, shop, and memberships together.

WooCommerce Memberships

Memberships allows you to create an entire membership system without compiling a Frankenstein assortment of plugins.

Sell or Gift Memberships
Memberships are not a specific type of WooCommerce product; instead, membership plans are created independently from products. This lets you determine how access is granted for maximum flexibility. You can assign 0 or more products to a membership plan to support several types of memberships:

Sell a membership as stand-alone product — create a product for the membership, then tie the plan to that product to sell it
Grant access to a membership as part of a product purchase — i.e., buy a subscription for a meal box, get access to the recipes section for free
Grant access to the same membership from several products (i.e., a yearly purchase or a monthly subscription)
Assign memberships manually for an invite-only members area

Strategically Provide Access to Content
Memberships lets you schedule when members should have access to your content. This gives you more control over how members begin using your site and lets you introduce members to your content at your pace.

Plan Content Restriction
When you use this with Subscriptions, you can even determine which content is included in a free trial period with content dripping rules.

Turn Your Store Into A Purchasing Club
Memberships lets you create members-only products so that your site can become a purchasing club, or let you offer certain products exclusively to members.

You can restrict product viewing to members, which means these products will be hidden from non-members in your shop. You can also restrict purchasing, which means that products are public, but only members can buy them.

Give Members Special Discounts
Since you want to give your members certain perks, you can provide member discounts for all products, some products, or certain product categories.

Simplify Communication with Members
While setting up plans and restricting content easily is great, that’s not what you spend most of your time doing. When you run a membership site, you spend a lot of time on customer service and managing members. We’ve tried to make that as easy as possible with Memberships.

With “Membership Notes,” you can track information about memberships for a customer, add your own notes for your reference, and even easily communicate with a particular member by sharing a note with them via email.

Memberships + Subscriptions
Memberships is fully functional as a stand-alone membership solution, but it performs best when paired with the most advanced eCommerce recurring payments solution available: WooCommerce Subscriptions.

When both plugins are active, some additional features are available with Memberships (more details in our documentation):

Membership can use recurring billing (i.e., monthly payments) for the membership rather than a set term (such as a year)
Free trials can be used for the membership via a subscription
Content restriction and dripping can include or exclude free trial periods so you control what content is available in trials
Members can pause their own memberships by suspending a subscription
Members can upgrade or downgrade memberships by switching a subscription
Upgrades and downgrades can leverage Subscription’s proration to ensure that membership costs are accurate
Even if you don’t want to use recurring billing, you can leverage the other features of Subscriptions by setting the subscription length to one billing cycle so you can take advantage of upgrades and downgrades or trial periods.
