<h4>Gating Posts</h4>
<p>When posting a new post or editing an existing post (or a custom post type) you will see a dropdown in the right hand column titled “Patreon Level”.</p>
<p>This box shows a dropdown of your Patreon tiers. When you select a Patreon tier and then update the post, visitors will need to be your patrons from that tier level or above to be able to access that post.</p>
<p>To make a locked post public again, just choose “Everyone” from the select box and update your post.</p>
<h4>Protecting Videos</h4>
<p>It is  difficult to protect videos due the intensive bandwidth requirements of hosting video  and having to rely on third parties such as Youtube or Vimeo. Youtube allows you to set videos to ‘private’ but Vimeo offers extra controls by only allowing videos to be played on specific domains.

Patreon WordPress


Works well with a responsive developer. (Note, o)


Does What It Needs to do


The Pro Version stopped working at 1.6.4: Users were unable to connect to Patreon. 



Downgrading to 1.6.3 fixed the problem. Unfortunately all further updates didn't fix the problem, only a downgrade would make it work again. The current version can't be tested without updating my subscription. 



Support disappeared after the first response, where a fix was promised but never delivered


Pro Version stopped working - Support disappeared

<p>A plugin that bridges the gap between two others — Patreon and WooCommerce — to allow you to easily restrict a section of your WooCommerce store for your active Patrons.</p>


Members-Only Shop for Patreon + WooCommerce

I made this plugin for myself, because the standard Patreon plugin doesn't support this functionality, and I wanted to be able to offer my Patreon patrons special pricing and items in my store. 

It doesn't fix any of the bugs or sluggishness of the Patreon plugin, and it requires you to use the standard WooCommerce checkout (nothing fancy -- no PayPal express, for example), but if those aren't dealbreakers this should work seamlessly for you.

Just follow the installation instructions (they're easy-peasy) and you should be all set.

Does what it says it does. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Offer exclusive products in a WooCommerce Shop to your Patreon patrons.
