Overview

Selling memberships in a store usually means assigning people to access levels by hand. WooCommerce Groups ties that step to the purchase itself. Each product can be linked to a group, so a customer who buys it is added to that group automatically. You can offer memberships with no end date or memberships that expire after a set period, and you can sell as many membership products as your store needs.

The plugin works with the Groups membership and access control system, which handles the restrictions on premium content, products or services. It follows the standard WooCommerce checkout and product flow, so shoppers buy as they normally would. Paired with WooCommerce Subscriptions, it supports recurring billing for subscription-based memberships. Customers can belong to several groups at once, which makes tiered and layered access possible.

Features

  • Automatic group assignment: Customers are placed into one or more groups based on the WooCommerce products they purchase, so membership setup follows the order without manual work.
  • Unlimited memberships: Create and sell as many memberships as your store requires, using ordinary WooCommerce products to represent each membership offering.
  • Time-limited memberships: Set memberships to expire after a chosen period, which suits access that should last for a fixed term and then end.
  • WooCommerce Subscriptions support: Connect with WooCommerce Subscriptions to handle recurring billing and manage subscription-based memberships within the same group structure.
  • Granular access control: Use the access control features of the Groups plugin to restrict premium content, products or services so only members can reach them.
  • Multi-group support: Assign a customer to several groups at once, which allows layered access permissions and more complex membership structures.
  • Standard checkout flow: The plugin works with the usual WooCommerce checkout and product pages, so customers buy memberships the same way they buy anything else.
  • Membership and subscription shortcodes: Shortcodes display a user's memberships and a subscriptions table, and output is limited to the current user unless the viewer has the right group admin capability.

Best for

  • Stores selling paid memberships through WooCommerce
  • Sites restricting premium content to purchasing customers
  • Businesses running subscription-based member programs
