Your 7 Monetization Strategies
Other membership plugins give you one tool: lock or unlock. Member Plugin Pro gives you seven different monetization strategies, each one suited to a different type of content and audience. Mix and match them however you want.
1
Early Access – Lock new posts for 30 days, then make them free. Perfect for podcasts, video creators, and writers.
2
Archive Vault – Keep your latest 5 posts free, charge for everything else. Monetize your entire back catalog.
3
Seasonal Pass – Lock content within specific date ranges. Great for limited-run series and event-based content.
4
Tiered Articles – Lock specific sections within a single post at different price levels. One article, multiple tiers.
5
Premium Login – Only paying members can log in. Eliminates spam, builds community value.
6
Category Pricing – Different categories at different price points. News at $3, deep dives at $10.
7
Content Drip – Release content on a schedule to keep members engaged and subscribed long-term.
You can also lock by age, show after X days, lock/show last X posts, gate entire categories, tags, custom post types, or lock your entire site – then still set different rules per content type. Sneak peeks let you show a teaser before locked content to boost conversions. No other WordPress membership plugin gives you this level of control.
Accept Payments From Anywhere in the World
Member Plugin Pro uses Stripe to process payments, giving your members a localized, professional checkout experience – in their own language and currency.
•
125+ payment methods – credit, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Banks, iDEAL, and many more
•
135+ currencies – your members pay in their local currency automatically
•
30 languages at checkout – localized experience for your global audience
•
PCI compliant – Stripe handles all card data. Nothing touches your server.
Keep More of What You Earn
Most membership plugins charge you a hefty yearly license fee PLUS separate payment processing fees on every transaction. With Member Plugin Pro, it’s simple: $60 per year for the plugin, and 5.5% all-inclusive on transactions. That 5.5% covers everything – platform fees and payment processing. There’s a tiny per-transaction fee as well, but it’s negligible in practice, and we believe in being upfront about it. Compared to the standard cut taken by most membership platforms plus their separate processing fees, this puts noticeably more of every dollar back in your pocket, month after month.
Example: If you earn $2,000/month in membership revenue, a typical setup with MemberPress ($299/yr) + Stripe (2.9% + 30¢) would cost you $299 + ~$740 in processing fees. Even more if the plugin charges a platform fee on top. With Member Plugin Pro ($60/yr + 5.5%), you’d pay $60 + ~$110. You save over $800/year.
Already on Patreon? Run Both Side by Side
Member Plugin Pro is the only WordPress membership plugin that lets you run on-site memberships and Patreon at the same time. Same creator, same community – just more paths to join. Fans who love Patreon can keep using it. Fans who’d rather support you directly finally have that option. It’s not either-or – it’s simply more room for your membership to grow.
