The Paid Memberships Pro – Approvals plugin adds a unique approval or application process to your membership site, empowering administrators to control membership access. This feature is essential for creating a safe and interactive community, ensuring that only approved members can engage with restricted content.
Key Features
- Application Process: Set up a structured application process for members, allowing them to sign up and await approval before accessing exclusive content.
- Approval/Deny Functionality: Admins, Membership Managers, or designated Approver Roles can approve or deny membership applications after review.
- Two-Step Membership Application:
- Implement a two-step application model where initial signup requires an application fee, and approved members then pay the full recurring membership fee for access.
- Control Membership Levels:
- Require members to gain approval from a specific membership level before progressing to other membership tiers, enhancing your site’s customization capabilities.
- Email Notifications: Both the applying member and the admin receive email alerts regarding the application status, keeping all parties informed throughout the process.
How It Works
- Member Signup: A member registers on your site and pays the initial application fee (if applicable).
- Admin Review: The Admin, Membership Manager, or Approver reviews the application and decides to approve or deny it.
- Payment Processing: During checkout, the system charges the initial payment as per the membership level settings.
- Access Control:
- If approved, the member gains access to all exclusive content associated with their membership level.
- If denied, the member cannot access any member-only content.
- Pending Status: Until the application is reviewed, members remain in a pending status with no access to restricted areas.
Benefits
- Enhanced Security: Control who gains access to your community, ensuring a safe and interactive environment.
- Customizable Membership Models: Offer flexible membership structures tailored to your community’s needs.
- Improved Member Engagement: Keep members informed with timely notifications and a clear understanding of their application status.
