If you use WooCommerce to sell downloadable products (regardless of whether they are attached to a membership with WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce or not), the download permissions are handled by WooCommerce. If a user has trouble accessing a download, there are a number of WooCommerce settings you may need to take a look at to resolve the issue.

Require Approval When Selling Memberships with WooCommerce

Chad Butler · Jan 26, 2022 ·

This article is provided free. Find out how you can get full access to premium content, including how-to articles and support forums, as well as priority email support and member exclusive plugin extensions..

 

When desiring to approve users prior to completing a membership purchase, there are two general approaches:

  1. Approval at Registration – in this approach, you restrict purchase of memberships to registered users only, and user registrations must be approved.
  2. Approval of the Order – using this approach, the membership purchase process is generally the same as it normally would be – the user completes registration when they purchase a membership. However, the order is marked as completed manually by an admin (or shop manager) so the user does not get membership access until the order is completed.

Method 1 requires WP-Members Advanced Options, and WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce. Method 2 requires WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce, while WP-Members Advanced Options is optional.

WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce 0.7.0 Released

Chad Butler · Jan 1, 2020 ·

This article is provided free. Find out how you can get full access to premium content, including how-to articles and support forums, as well as priority email support and member exclusive plugin extensions..

 

I have released an update for the WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce extension.  This update includes renewal reminders.

Note that for the email renewal reminders to work, you MUST be using WP-Members 3.3.  If you are on a version less than that, the user expiration dates are not properly formatted.

Also note that the email for the renewal reminder is a WooCommerce email, not a WP-Members email.  This is to provide consistency with the other emails within WooCommerce.  Like other WC emails, the template (which is included and used by default in the plugin) can be copied to your theme folder and customized.  Also, the email is managed within the WC settings, not WP-Members.

I have updated the documentation to include information on setup:

Adding text to the WooCommerce thank you page

Chad Butler · Dec 11, 2019 ·

When you complete a transaction in WooCommerce, the process ultimately brings you back to a “Thank You” page. This generally will have information about the order, including the ID, date, amount paid, etc.

When using the WP-Members Memberships for WooCommerce extension, you may wish to customize the Thank You page to include some text for the user that has information about their membership, next steps, etc. How can you do that?  Continue Reading →
