WooCommerce Memberships
| Developed by SkyVergeInformation & Requirements
- Works well with several existing plugins, including WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Name Your Price
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.
“This is maybe one of the easiest and cleanest plugins when it comes to configuration…it’s super clean and easy to manage.
You’re gonna love this plugin.” – Chris Lema
Memberships allows you to create an entire membership system that’s seamlessly tied to your store.
You can restrict your content to members, but you can also “drip” that content over time to schedule when members have access. Sell access to memberships, include memberships with product purchases, manually assign memberships, and completely integrate member perks within your store.
Sell or Assign 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 (of almost any type) 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 Grant Content Access
You put a lot of work into your members-only content, so Memberships lets you schedule when your members should have access to it. You can drip content, which means that you can schedule when members should have access to your content. For example, you can require that customers be a member for a week before they can access certain posts or pages.

This gives you more control over how members begin using your site and lets you introduce members to your content at your pace.
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.

You can also drip product access so that members don’t get access to products immediately.
Offer Better Shipping Options to Members
Members should be your most loyal customers, so giving them perks that encourage them to purchase repeatedly from you keeps them coming back for more. Memberships extends your free shipping settings so you can offer free shipping directly to your members, while requiring non-members to meet other criteria (like having a coupon or minimum order amount).

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

Automatically Show Members Their Perks
While membership management should be easy on you, it should be easy on your members, too. Members can find all of the information they need about their memberships in the Member Area. Members can access the area for any membership from the “My Account” page by clicking “View”.

You can enable any or all sections of the member area to show members a list of accessible content (post and pages), products, discounts, and / or public membership notes. If a member will have access to content in the future, the member can see the access date as well.
Import or Export Members
You have a lot of tools to manage members within WooCommerce, but you may want to connect to other services too, such as importing a member list into an email tool. Memberships lets you export members to a CSV file so that you can get member data out of WooCommerce and into other tools.
You can also import members via CSV to add new memberships, create new users, or bulk-update existing members by merging your file with existing data.
Simplify Communication with Members
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. We’ve added “Membership Notes” so that 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.
You can also use expiration and renewal reminder emails to let members know of ending memberships and prompt them to renew or upgrade.

Memberships + Subscriptions
Memberships is fully functional as a stand-alone membership solution, but it works very well with the most advanced eCommerce recurring payments solution available: WooCommerce Subscriptions.
When both plugins are active, Memberships can leverage some features of Subscriptions to give you more flexibility over membership billing (more details in our documentation):
- Memberships can use recurring billing (i.e., monthly payments) for the membership rather than a set term (such as a year)
- Memberships can use Subscriptions as a payment plan, but control access length itself to support installment payments
- 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.

Heya Joe, thanks for the review and the feedback here! An account landing page is a great idea. One problem we’ve had is that customers can have more than one membership, so a landing page for each membership becomes difficult, but it’s on our radar. Some users have used “custom thank you page” or “redirect thank you page” plugins to help here for redirects when someone purchases a membership, so this might be an option in the meantime!

vodfuturodigital rated ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ –
I am really, really disappointed with this plugin. It is one of the most expensive membership plugins, but it has fewer options and customizations than other much cheaper. I have bought two other membership plugins, and I have used a couple of free ones, so I can really compare this one with the others.
Here are a few of the things that can’t be done with this plugin, and that all others have.
1. See a preview of the email members will get. There is absolutely no way to see what your members will see once they get their membership activated or when its going to expire, etc.
2. Modify and customize all the contents of the emails members will get.
3. Give members specific coupons (not discount on all products), but coupons.
4. Configuration of the registration form, it uses the Woocommerce checkout as registration.
5. Most of them install the files they have translated to other languages (in my case Spanish), even the incomplete files. With this plugin there are no files in other languages…except Japanese.
6. Customize the member account look, REALLY customize.
Not to mention that most of the other paid plugins offer recurring payments integrations.
Those are only a few of the basic things that others offer (even for free sometimes) and that are missing on this one.
The Answer I get from Costumer service, is that I can buy a plugin to enhance the checkout process in woocommerce and include other fields, and I can buy a plugin to handle coupons, I can buy a plugin to customize emails and so on and on. But that’s exactly the point, the other plugins have all those things, including subscriptions and recurrent payments.
So basically I have to spend over 400 USD to be able to do for one site, all the things other plugins do for half that price or less.
I bought this plugin because I have to provide a subscription option in this site, and since I needed to use Woocommerce (because of the payment methods), I figured the best way to go was to buy Woocommerce Subscriptions and Woocommerce Memberships so everything would integrate seamlessly. But it has so many missing features, that is just terribly frustrating and infuriating because I feel I just wasted my money, plus I am offering this client a lot less features than what I offer to others with simpler pages and free membership plugins.

Hey mainhy, thanks for your feedback here, and I’m sorry you’ve had a disappointing experience with our plugin. In the future, please feel free to get in touch with our help desk, as we’re happy to help out with these questions, or suggest additional plugins to help you get what you need! I’m happy to add more detail to some of these points:
For renewal discounts, we recommend including these in your membership emails; for example, many sites use a discount in the “membership ending soon” email, which gives them maximum control over what customers should get when renewing. 🙂
For link plans to other plans, Memberships can ensure multiple plans have access to the same content or perks, so content can be linked to more than one plan.
For menu protection, we recommend a free plugin in our documentation overview, and you can read about it here.
For URL protection, this shouldn’t be done within a plugin, as it should be done at the server level. We have a recommended approach in our FAQ.
Cheers! -SkyVerge

Hey Veronika, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! We often recommend using the Checkout Field Editor plugin or Gravity Forms Product Add-ons to handle registration information, depending on your site’s needs, which let you gather additional information from your customers during purchase.

Hey there, thanks so much for this review and feedback. Memberships is intended to have user-specific discounts, as you’ve noted, rather than tiered discounts (buy more, save more). If you’re looking for user role and quantity discount support, we recommend checking out Dynamic Pricing, which is a great fit for this type of setup!

Hey Kevin, thanks for your feedback here! I can see that you’d waited 30 hours for one reply in the thread you’re referencing, so I apologize for the delay in replying to you in that instance. I’m hoping the remainder of replies in that conversation being timely show you that we do value your patience, and are dedicated to resolving issues. We indeed had some growing pains, as our team had not previously done all pre-sales and support, and then had a firehouse of questions directed at us — while we had a painful learning period, we have scaled up our support team as we’ve adjusted to taking on direct support. Thanks again for your feedback here and for working with us in that conversation! ^BR

It works. I had initially given this plugin 1 star because I thought that the updates weren’t automatic. But it turns out I hadn’t connected my woocommerce account with my website.
Thanks to Steve for the help.

We were deciding between a pay-for service and setting up WCMemberships. It is super versatile, meaning in our situation we needed to set up individuals as well as teams. We also had to build our own certification for our field. Only wordpress would enable us to do that. I am taking the time to write because of the support though. Something “updated” and the videos weren’t showing in the lesson anymore. I reached out and they were super responsive. Not only that, it was totally our fault because we didn’t have the permissions set properly. They got us to the documentation to get everything set up right away. It was costing us refunds/revenue so I appreciate their responsiveness.

I have to be honest, you need to carefully read the reviews on this plugin before buying. the support is poor, and the plugin can only be described as an overpriced basic membership plugin very much lacking. i’m surprised this woo’s offering as a membership solution.

I purchased Woocommerce Subscriptions and Woocommerce Memberships and am very happy with both.
Was not happy with the formatting of the basic My Account page, so I decided to reformat it.
BIG mistake, as I managed to totally screw up the endpoints and the result was totally useless.
Contacted customer support and Erica was very helpful and sorted the problem out.
Outstanding customer support.

Hello there,
Thank you for leaving a review for WooCommerce Memberships.
I see that you are looking for content dripping in the extension. This is possible by default with WooCommerce Memberships. You can restrict content and open it up at a specific time, as explained here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships-quick-start/#section-6

Thanks so much for the notes here, Victoria! Glad to hear you’ve had good success with customizations as well. Shortcodes based on status isn’t something Memberships does just yet (the non-member shortcode targets all non-active members, including people who have lapsed memberships or guests), but we’re tracking interest in this and I’ve added your vote. 🙂
