Setup

To sell memberships with WooCommerce requires the following extensions besides WooCommerce itself:

  • Groups – Groups is free and designed as an efficient, powerful and flexible solution for group-oriented memberships and content access control.
  • Groups WooCommerce – The extension integrates Groups and WooCommerce and allows you to sell memberships in your store.

Optionally, if you would like to sell group memberships based on subscriptions it also integrates with WooCommerce Subscriptions.
