What it does
Many membership sites want to stay small and selective, yet standard signup forms let anyone with a card join. This add on closes that gap by requiring an invite code before checkout. It works with your existing Paid Memberships Pro membership levels and settings, so you keep your current setup and add an invitation step on top of it. Invite codes submitted at checkout are sanitized, and only admins can add invite codes to a member.
Invitations are handled from the WordPress dashboard, where you can send, track and manage them. You can write your own invitation emails, limit how many times a code can be redeemed and set an expiration date on each invite. A used invite codes table shows who has accepted, which helps with following up on pending memberships. It suits private clubs, premium content creators and professional networks that grow through referrals and targeted outreach.
Best for
- Private clubs running memberships on Paid Memberships Pro
- Premium content creators who want a selective audience
- Professional networks that grow through referrals
