The One-Stop-Shop For Membership Sites
MemberFix is a WordPress development company that sets up, supports, maintains, and fixes membership sites.
They’ve been in the membership site game for over a decade – helping clients, running their own sites, and writing books on the industry. Needless to say, when it comes to selling subscriptions online, they know their stuff.
Because of that, we decided to sit down with MemberFix founder Vic Dorfman to talk about what it takes to create, customize, and maintain membership sites on WordPress.
MemberFix: How It Started + How It’s Going
It all started when Vic was running a membership website of his own to make some cash online back in the early 2010s. One of his members was so impressed with his site, they hired Vic to create a membership site for them.
As more and more requests rolled in, he realized he was onto something.
“It just kind of hit me. Nobody’s really doing this membership site thing as a thing. I thought, ‘Maybe this can be its own service.’”
So, he dove right into pro membership site development. Now, MemberFix has a whole team dedicated to helping their customers generate recurring revenue on WordPress.
They strive to build the most efficient WordPress membership sites out there, so their customers can focus on creating content, fostering amazing communities, and growing their businesses.
MemberFix has worked with all kinds of clients – from those just starting out to some really big names.
And they’ve worked with just about every niche under the sun. Dream interpretation, fitness, crochet, screenplay writing, B2B, video making, and a lot more.
MemberFix truly handles it all:
- Setup
- Design
- Security
- Third-party integrations
- Site speed
- Membership plugin migrations
They even have their own hosting solution custom tailored for high traffic membership sites.
So, MemberFix is truly a one-stop-shop for people looking to take MemberPress to the next level.
When it comes to membership plugins, MemberFix has tried out a bunch of different solutions. Back in the day, options were slim, but now there’s a ton to choose from.
According to Vic, one has always stood out from the pack: MemberPress. Memberfix’s clients absolutely love it, so it’s become their go-to membership plugin.
MemberPress + MemberFix: A Match Made In WP Heaven
MemberFix has seen it all. They’ve braved the war torn plugin trenches and lived to tell the tales. Amidst countless battles, MemberPress triumphs as the membership plugin of choice for their clients.
It’s no surprise, really. With its solid codebase, endless flexibility, extensive documentation, and user-friendly interface, MemberPress proudly wears the crown as MemberFix’s go-to membership solution.
“It’s such a well-coded, extensible, easy-to-work-with plugin for customers who are just starting out, but also development teams looking to extend functionality and customize their sites for customers.“
As a Certified MemberPress Developer, MemberFix attracts clients who already have MemberPress in mind. So, when it comes to the world of memberships, they’re well researched and already know what’s up.
“MemberPress is by far the most widely used membership plugin in the world. So, a lot of folks are coming to us saying ‘Hey Vic, we already bought MemberPress and would like some help with this or that.’”
And then, other clients are lost in space. Floating around on janky plugins causing all kinds of chaos on their site.
“We see customers who have issues with their current membership plugin. We’ll say, we can fix your issue, but it may just be putting a band-aid on it.”
“Instead, we can migrate you over to MemberPress, which is a more fundamentally sound solution.”
This leads us to the first item on MemberFix’s list of top-notch MemberPress features.
MemberFix’s Fav MemberPress Features
Easy Migration
We can all be brand-hoppers. Take my buddy, for example. He used to be all about Wendy’s, but one savory sip of a chilly Grimace shake converted him into a die hard McDy’s 4 Lifer.
Turns out, people do the same with membership plugins.
Sure, they might make a switch for a new feature, or just because they feel like it. But, most people make the switch to MemberPress from other plugins due to tech issues bogging down their business.
For MemberFix clients, the switch works magic.
“A lot of the problems they’re experiencing are immediately resolved. We see issues with payment processing with other plugins. We’ll migrate over to MemberPress… fixed.“
“MemberPress just works.“
The demand to switch to MemberPress is so high, MemberFix has even developed their own custom solutions for migrating.
Which is a perfect testament to another fan favorite MemberPress feature in the development world…
Flexible Codebase + Developer Tools
MemberPress knows what developers need, plain and simple. The code base was handcrafted in Utah’s pristine mountain country to be a playground of customization possibilities and creative flexibility.
“The MemberPress code base is so well written. It’s just easy to build on top of.“
So breezy to build on that MemberFix has cooked up a bunch of custom add-ons for MemberPress. These babies can:
- Utilize WooCommerce + MemberPress together
- Unlock new rules for members who pause, cancel, and resume their subscriptions
- Let members sign up and access their content quicker with a universal password and magic login link
- Add custom field data for members with a third party app with the MemberPress API
But that’s not all! If you’re a developer whose clients could use some extra juice from third-party integrations, the MemberPress Developer Tools Add-on is just a few clicks away.
It’s like unlocking a secret treasure trove of integration magic.
As a dev armed with the MemberPress Developer Tools, you have the power to dispatch POST requests to a wide range of URLs for various events within MemberPress.
Whether it’s a member being added, logging in, canceling, completing a course, or countless other actions, you’ve got the flexibility to configure multiple webhook URLs to suit your needs.
As long as a service has an API, you’re all set to unlock a world of customization for your clients.
Courses
A huge number of MemberPress users have a common desire: they have valuable knowledge and skills to share, and they see MemberPress as the perfect platform for teaching and coaching.
With MemberPress Courses, you can build and sell online courses in no-time. It gives our users a full LMS and online course creation experience all in one place.
Having worked with all types of clients throughout the years, Vic has noticed some trends related to this…
“A lot of people are doing different kinds of coaching. Some will just deliver it on WhatsApp or Zoom. But, a lot of them are going the extra mile and setting it up on WordPress with MemberPress.”
Lucky for developers, MemberPress Courses gives out-of-the-box functionality to create and sell online courses without additional plugins or customizations.
The days of creating custom taxonomies and fancy workarounds to achieve an online learning environment are long gone.
Whether someone’s selling an online course, a package of coaching calls on Zoom, live classes, ebooks, or lesson plans – they can easily create any type of e-learning content, make it exclusive, and sell it with MemberPress.
CoachKit™
But wait, there’s more! With our add-on, CoachKit™, you can transform your site into a dynamic coaching platform.
Keep a close eye on your students’ progress, offer them encouragement with online messaging, and set them up for success with regular habits and milestones.

Corporate Accounts
With MemberPress, you can give members the power to handle their own sub-accounts thanks to our Corporate Accounts Add-on.
It’s perfect for all kinds of situations. Think corporate clients, groups, and even parents managing their kids’ educational memberships.
The site owner gets total control over the number of sub-accounts handed out, making it a really attractive option for businesses and individuals alike.
If you’re a developer for groups or business oriented clients, Corporate Accounts is a game-changer.
“We also see a lot of people in B2B. Oftentimes, we’ll set up corporate memberships where they can sell a bunch of seats. So, our customers can sell to bigger businesses.”
Alright, we’ve been going on an awful lot about all the features, add-ons, and third-party integrations MemberPress has to offer.
But hey, let’s hit the pause button on the MemberPress hype train for a moment and shift gears to the platform, and community, it’s built for.
