Boy, do we have an exciting feature for you – Corporate Accounts! Using this add-on, you can create corporate account memberships on a whim. Learn more with this sweet tutorial video:
Corporate Accounts
The name might seem misleading; you don't have to be corporate to make use of this add-on's features. It enables you to create a corporate account memberships for your customers. And it allows members with corporate accounts to manage their own sub-accounts.
Some common examples include corporate customers, memberships intended for use by different groups, educational memberships for parents to manage their children, and many more.
The parent member can import sub-account members without any help from you (although you can control how many sub-accounts they can have per corporate subscription).
The sub-accounts are also automatically managed for you. Subscription renewals and account limits are all taken care of by the add-on.
Each membership allows you to specify the number of sub-accounts allowed to sign up, giving you the flexibility to define your memberships anyway you like.

Sounds exciting 🙂 Does this mean that MemberPress is tapping into Stripe’s Subscriptions functionality? Or are the transaction details still being stored in the MemberPress tables?
Hi Erik, this change is on the backend with how we store and query the subscription data in the database to greatly boost performance on some of our larger client’s sites.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing when they said that! I was really excited, shame.
A true rethink of the stripe integration is long overdue from MP – it would open up so many doors to really utilise subscriptions. I long for the day when I can actually start seeing some true analytics and other 3rd party facilities that require subscriptions to work.
Is there any talk of you guys doing that any time soon?
Yes Jason, we’ve got that as one of the high priorities for 1.4. We’re users of ChartMogul and so we know exactly what you’re talking about btw … and hence it’s a big deal for us too and 1.3 lays the foundation for it to happen.
Hi Brandon-
This is a great release! I can tell you and your team put a lot of careful thought into this.
Congrats!
Thanks Justin. Very much appreciate it.
Great timing, having just launched a site where I know my clients will be very interested in this Members list.
Horrah for corporate accounts. My clients have been asking for this and will enable me to add a new pricing tier.
Hey guys,
Thanks for adding Corporate Accounts! That’s an absolutely fantastic feature and comes right on time 🙂 It actually just made me to upgrade to the Developer Edition! Now, in running initial tests, I guess my biggest issue right now is adding Sub-Accounts from a usability perspective.
At the end of the day, I am 100% certain that I will need to add accounts myself, as long as the system only allows csv files. Not only because there’s no instruction whatsoever for people on how to do it, but because I think most people that might sign up for this option, will not want to go through the trouble of creating such a csv – they might not even know what that stands for. In other words: Are you planning to introduce a more user friendly front-end submission solution? In the end, can’t we just have a three fields for Name, Last Name, EMail and then that’s that?
Also, related to that. What happens if I already have people on the system? How best do I switch them over, while keeping their existing accounts? So far I used coupons to achieve what I would now automate with the new Corporate Account solution.
Kind regards,
Philip
Hey Philip. Yes we are currently working on some more user friendly features. You’ll soon have a form for adding sub-accounts manually and you’ll have a dedicated signup url provided to your customers (the parent) that they can use to sign up their own sub-accounts (children).
As for switching over the existing accounts we’ll likely have to manually migrate your accounts since we don’t have a solution in place for that scenario yet. Please submit a request for support and I’ll be able to take care of you there.
Hi,
Prospective purchaser here. I am curious if you can create a per-user pricing tiers for the corporate membership.
e.g., purchase 2-20 sub-accounts pay $30 per head.
purchase 20-30 subaccount pay $25 per head.
and so on….
Is this possible or must you set a total price for corporate memberships?
Also can you create a bespoke corporate membership quote for a specific client e.g., 100 subs for $2000 but not advertise this as freely available membership on your website?
Thanks
Tim
