Create multiple membership plans

With the Ultimate Memberships for WooCommerce extension, you can create multiple membership plans and provide access to specific products, categories, pages, and offer discounts.

When creating a new membership plan you can configure the following options.

Add plan name and access requirements

In the first step, under the general settings tab, you can configure the

  • Manual assignment
  • User account registration
  • User account registration with manual validation
  • Product purchase
• Membership length
  • Unlimited
  • Date range

Manual assignment

If you want to manually add members to a plan, select the Manual assignment option. Members can’t add themselves to the plan. Admins must add users to specific plans from the backend.

User account registration

As soon as the user registers, they will be approved for this membership plan.

User account registration with manual validation

The extension will display a dropdown on the registration form to let customers select the membership plan during registration. Only plans linked to user registrations will be available as choices on the registration form.

Product purchase

This membership will be approved as soon as the user purchases a specific product.

Length of plans

In all four options, you can set the length of each plan.

Members Area

You can choose to enable specific tabs for members-only content, products, discounts, notes, and management.

Content restrictions (pages, posts)

From the content tab, you can add restrictions for specific posts, post categories, pages, post tags, and post types for non-members. The pages you select will immediately be marked as hidden for all users and members except those who belong to the specific membership plan.

From settings, you can choose an action for non-members who access these members-only pages. You can hide the page completely, show page excerpts, or redirect users to another page if they try to access a members-only page or post.

Product and category restrictions

From the products tab, you can manage the visibility of products and product categories. The extension allows you to manage visibility in four different ways.

Only members can view and purchase

The product is hidden from non-members and visitors. Only members will be able to view and purchase the product.

Only members can purchase

The Add-to-Cart button is hidden from non-members. The prices will remain visible. Only members will be able to view and purchase the product.

Only members can purchase and see prices

Members can view prices and purchase products. Non-members can only view products—the prices and Add-to-Cart button will not be visible.

Only members can view

Members can view the product, but the prices and Add-to-Cart button will not be visible. Non-members cannot see products.

From extension settings, you can choose to hide restricted products from shop, category, and other listing pages. You can access this setting from UL Membership > Settings > Visibility.

Discounts

From the fourth discounts tab, you can offer discounts on specific products and categories for the members of this plan. You can offer different discounts for each product and set discounts in fixed or percentage amounts.

Restrict discounts

You can exclude on-sale products from discount rules. You can access this setting from UL Membership > Settings > General.

Membership status emails

From the email tab, you can configure plan-specific emails, content, and send emails when membership plans are:

• Activated
• Pending
• Ending soon
• Ended
• Renewal

The extension offers eight variables to include important information about membership statuses.

Members’ area

Selected membership tabs display under the Members’ Area on the My Account page.

Managing Members

The extension provides a separate grid listing of all members enrolled in different plans. You can filter members by status, plan, and more.

You can add new members or edit the details of existing members including:

• Membership plan, start date, end date, and current status
• Custom fields data (profile fields)
• Member Notes (The admin can add a note for members and display them under the My Account > Members’ Area > Notes section.)

You can choose to notify members via email when submitting new notes for them.

Custom member fields

The Ultimate Memberships for WooCommerce extension offers a unique feature. It allows you to create additional custom fields to collect extra information from your members. Collecting more data helps maintain a high-quality membership database.

You can create and customize the following field options:

  • Text, text area
  • Email, number
  • File upload
  • Dropdown, multi-select
  • Radio and checkbox

• Choose to display fields
  • At registration
  • At checkout (displays in a separate section from membership fields)
  • On the My Account page
  • On the member profile (Admin)

Make fields dependent on membership plans

Fields dependent on specific membership plans will display to current members enrolled in that plan. For user-account registration plans, these fields appear on the registration form and change depending on the plan selected by users.

Redirect after login and registration

You can choose to redirect users after login and refer them to internal pages or custom URLs. It’s a handy feature to improve user experiences as members are redirected to a specific area of the website based on their current plan.

Custom messages

You display custom messages to non-members for hidden blogs posts, pages, products, and discounts. For example, if membership is required to access the product, page or to receive a discount.

The extension offers different variables to make messages personalized and more meaningful for customers. For more details see the documentation.
