Paid Membership Pro Addon

The Paid Membership Pro integration for the Newsletter plugin enables the subscription of new members along with the sign-up form and the real-time mapping between the members’ levels and the subscription lists.

What's inside

Members sign up and subscription

Once the addon is installed, the subscription on registration can be configured with three options:

  1. subscription not enabled along with the signup
  2. showing a “subscribe me” checkbox
  3. making the subscription mandatory and implicit along with the registration (recommended)

The third option (mandatory subscription) is recommended to easily contact the members with newsletters, automatic notifications, welcome series, and so on.

Mapping membership levels to lists

Membership levels can be configured to map the subscribers’ lists in an incredibly flexible way: for each level the lists to be activated and the lists to be deactivated can be specified.

When a member registers for the first time or changes its level (automatically, by expiration, by upgrade, and so on), the Paid Membership Pro Addon intercepts the modification and sets the new list combination on the connected subscriber’s profile.

Lists that are not set to be activated or deactivated for a level are not changed in the subscriber’s profile.

Import and align existing members

The add-on provides the feature to import existing members creating the corresponding subscribers with the lists correctly selected based on the members’ level.

The import procedure aligns already present subscribers that match with members (by email) updating the lists.

The procedure processes the members list (WP users) in a background process. For each member:

  1. if the email of the member is not present in the Newsletter plugin subscriber list, create a new subscriber and set the lists corresponding to the member level
  2. if the email of the members is present, update the corresponding subscriber list to match the level

When subscribers are created during the import the welcome or activation emails are NOT sent: it is assumed, if they’re there as members, there is no need to ask them to confirm.
