Overview
Selling access to content takes more than a payment button. You need to decide who sees what, charge people on a schedule and handle renewals, cancellations and plan changes. MemberDash brings these jobs into one WordPress plugin. You set up membership levels with their own pricing and access rules, then restrict pages, posts, categories and custom post types so only authorized members can open them.
Members have a built-in dashboard where they can manage subscriptions, update billing details and view or download invoices. Payments run through Stripe and PayPal, for recurring billing and one-time purchases. For course sites, MemberDash connects with LearnDash so membership levels can control access to courses. That makes it a fit for online communities, premium content sites and e-learning projects that charge for access.
Features
- Multiple membership tiers: Create as many membership levels as you need, each with its own pricing and access rules, so different audience segments can be offered different plans.
- Content restriction: Limit access to pages, posts, categories and custom post types so that premium material is available only to authorized members.
- Stripe and PayPal payments: Accept recurring billing and one-time purchases through Stripe or PayPal, giving members a choice of familiar payment methods.
- Member self-service dashboard: Members manage their subscriptions, update payment details and view or download invoices on their own, which cuts down on routine account requests.
- LearnDash course access: Link membership levels to LearnDash courses so access to your e-learning content follows each member's plan.
- Automated subscription handling: Renewals, cancellations, upgrades and downgrades are processed automatically, which simplifies managing the full membership lifecycle.
- Customizable email notifications: Send email alerts to members about payments, renewals, cancellations and other account activity, with wording you can adjust.
- Member and revenue reports: Review reports on member activity, revenue and subscription statistics to see how your membership site is performing.
