What it does
Running a membership site means collecting money reliably, often on a repeating schedule. Paid Memberships Pro handles levels and access, and this add-on supplies PayPal as a way to take payment for them. Members check out with PayPal, and recurring billing runs automatically, so you are not chasing renewals by hand. Payments are processed through PayPal's own security systems, which keeps sensitive card and account details off your site.
The gateway works alongside Paid Memberships Pro core features and add-ons, so your membership levels and customizations stay in place. You can offer one-time payments, subscriptions or trials, and accept several currencies for an international audience. Transaction notifications and payment status updates keep you informed, and transaction history and reporting help with bookkeeping. It suits online courses, digital content sites and other subscription-based services.
Best for
- Membership sites built on Paid Memberships Pro
- Online course creators selling recurring access
