Constellation for WooCommerce
por
Kestrel
A flexible, WooCommerce memberships platform to support publishers, purchasing clubs, online learning, associations, and more.
Create and grow your community
Build purchasing clubs, trade associations, online learning centers, content paywalls, member directories, and more — create your community exactly how you envisioned it. No need to use a separate app for member management: create perfect harmony between your website, online store, and membership platform.
Constellation is a powerful, all-in-one WooCommerce membership solution — one that can work alongside thousands of WordPress plugins to create a site that’s truly unique.
Your brand, content, and products — unified
Whether the membership «perk» you offer is content access, exclusive event tickets, course access, listings in a directory, store discounts, or special products (or something we haven’t even imagined yet!), you can create that membership with WordPress + WooCommerce.
Just some of the ways Constellation is used…
- Retailers drive recurring revenue by offering store discounts for members. Sell a $99 per year membership and give members 10% off your store — use memberships to create loyal customers and dependable recurring revenue.
- Publishers create content paywalls to sign up new subscribers for access to articles or blog posts. They can even use content dripping for access to older content, so members unlock access over time, vs getting everything at signup.
- Podcasts can protect their recordings or videos to provide extra content to subscribers, boosting support for a free podcast or show.
- Communities or companies create locked, member-only stores (or categories) that require membership to make purchases. Use exclusivity to keep your members happy, or to drive new subscriptions that unlock special access.
- Online educators protect their course content and drip out access to new lessons over time. They can even offer products, forums, supplementary videos, or certifications only to learners.
- Guilds or hobby communities connect their members by creating private listings of all members who have signed up, with their content information. Some even create private forums, boards, or direct messages1 to help members get in touch with one another.
- B2B sellers can create discounts for wholesalers, to give them a percentage discount on all purchases throughout the store. Constellation works seamlessly alongside tiered discount plugins, too (like Dynamic Pricing) so you can also create quantity-based discounts.
- Event sites can require free sign up to get early access to tickets, or keep the best seats available to members only by protecting product purchases.
1We recommend using bbPress or BuddyPress (both free!) to offer enhanced member communities. Constellation supports both of them out of the box.
