What it does
Membership sites need a dependable way to take payments and keep access in sync with who has paid. This add-on brings Authorize.net into Restrict Content Pro as a payment option, so members can check out with a credit card and start a subscription or make a one-time payment. Payments are confirmed in real time, which means a member can get access right after a successful checkout instead of waiting for a manual review.
Once connected, the gateway works alongside the content restrictions you already set up in Restrict Content Pro. Recurring billing keeps members on their plans, renewal reminders let them know a charge is coming, and transaction history is available from your WordPress dashboard. Authorize.net handles fraud detection on its side. Developers can adjust the payment flow with hooks and filters, including a filter for the authorization amount, which helps when customers mistake a temporary authorization hold for a double charge.
Best for
