Membership Site Software Shopping? Expert Opinions Revealed!<\/h2>\n
There are definitely a few must-have features for running a successful membership site. But there are also a few features our experts suggest you look for beyond the software. Luckily, we at MemberPress don\u2019t think of these as additional or bonus features\u2014they come with your software.<\/p>\n
\n
Flexibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It\u2019s important to select a membership-site solution that gives you the flexibility you need to run your business. You don\u2019t always know what the future will bring or what strategies you\u2019ll need to adopt to run a successful site.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why MemberPress has a powerful feature set, integrates with hundreds of third-party services, and is robust enough to handle almost any job you throw at it.<\/p>\n
\n
Support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Because your membership plugin is the core of your membership-site business, it\u2019s important to select one that\u2019s updated often and has responsive support.<\/p>\n
MemberPress has a dedicated team of software developers and tech-support engineers who are there to make sure the software is working for you. And if it isn\u2019t, we make sure it gets fixed and up and running again quickly.<\/p>\n
Our experts also recommend you not forget these important features (all included in MemberPress):<\/p>\n
\n
Automated Recurring Billing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
MemberPress supports automated recurring billing through PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.net payment gateways and supports flexible recurring terms such as monthly, quarterly, annual, and other custom billing cycles.<\/p>\n
This set up allows you to easily create and track recurring subscriptions and the memberships associated with them. MemberPress is also capable of integrating with third-party payment vendors like SamCart, ThriveCart, and Gravity Forms<\/a> for even more customization.<\/p>\n
And for leads who want to try your site before buying, MemberPress has a solution for that, too: free or paid trials before the regular recurring payments begin.<\/p>\n
\n
Course Sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You\u2019ve spent a lot of time preparing course content, and you want to share your knowledge with clients (plus you\u2019d also like to get paid for your hard work).<\/p>\n
MemberPress is not only the perfect platform for selling your course content, it also includes a powerful, built-in LMS add-on called MemberPress Courses<\/a> that allows you to build<\/em> your courses, as well. And there\u2019s no separate download required. The add-on is included with MemberPress Basic, Pro, and Plus.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Import Existing Members<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Migrating members to a new system can be time-consuming and tedious, but you\u2019ve worked hard to get those members, and you don\u2019t want to lose them. MemberPress makes importing existing members as straightforward as possible with our Importer add-on and migration documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n
Public versus Private Content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One of the most important features of a membership-site solution is the ability to protect content from nonmembers or to restrict certain content within membership tiers.<\/p>\n
MemberPress Rules can protect any content\u2014new and existing\u2014on your WordPress website, including pages, posts, custom-post types, tags, taxonomies, categories, and even user-defined areas of your content using shortcodes.<\/p>\n
Additionally, MemberPress\u2019 unique content-protection rules make it easy to specify individual or groups of content (by tag or category) to protect. And it allows you to specify which memberships have access to which pieces of content.<\/p>\n
