<h2>Features</h2>

<p>New coupon features add the possibility to apply coupons automatically for group members. This allows to have discounts applied for certain customer groups.</p>
<p>It is very convenient to have discounts applied automatically for certain user groups. This covers any cases ranging from applying a promotional discount automatically to any registered user, to granting automatic discounts to specific user groups like distributors, volume clients, etc. It can also be combined with another features provided by this extension to assure that coupons can only be used by certain groups.</p>

<p>Another useful feature provided by this extension is the option to exclude group members from using certain coupons. This allows to effectively exclude specific groups from using a coupon.</p>
<p>With this feature, you can for example run promotions for new customers and exclude existing customers. You can also allow some more privileged groups to have access to more discounts than others.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>This new feature provided by the extension allows to restrict coupons to specific WordPress user roles. It adds the possibility to control who is allowed to use a coupon based on their role.</p>

<h2>Examples and Screenshots</h2>
<h3>A restricted Coupon for Registered Users</h3>
<p>This example shows the settings used for a coupon that is limited to registered users and applied automatically for them. This means that the coupon will be applied automatically for any existing user account, without the need for the customer to input the coupon code at checkout explicitly. In this example, we also exclude any member of the Test group from using the coupon.</p>

<h2>A membership solution 100% integrated with your content and products.</h2>
<p><strong>WooCommerce Memberships</strong> is not just another plugin for restricting your site’s content: it’s an easy-to-use, site-wide membership solution that brings your content, shop, and memberships together.</p>
<div style="font-style: italic;font-size: 18px;padding-left: 15px;border-left: 2px solid #42a2ce">
<p>“This is maybe one of the easiest and cleanest plugins when it comes to configuration…it’s super clean and easy to manage.</p>
<p>You’re gonna love this plugin.” – <a href="http://chrislema.com/memberships-extension-for-woocommerce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chris Lema</a></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Memberships allows you to create an entire membership system</strong> that’s seamlessly tied to your store.</p>
<p>You can restrict your content to members, but you can also “drip” that content over time to schedule when members have access. Sell access to memberships, include memberships with product purchases, manually assign memberships, and completely integrate member perks within your store.</p>
<h3>Sell or Assign Memberships</h3>
<p>Memberships are not a specific type of WooCommerce product; instead, membership plans are created independently from products. This lets you determine how access is granted for <strong>maximum flexibility</strong>. You can assign 0 or more products (of almost any type) to a membership plan to support several types of memberships:</p>
<ul>
<li>sell a membership as stand-alone product — create a product for the membership, then tie the plan to that product to sell it</li>
<li>grant access to a membership as part of a product purchase — i.e., buy a subscription for a meal box, get access to the recipes section for free</li>
<li>grant access to the same membership from several products (i.e., a yearly purchase or a monthly subscription)</li>
<li>assign memberships manually for an invite-only members area</li>
</ul>

<h3>Strategically Grant Content Access</h3>
<p>You put a lot of work into your members-only content, so Memberships lets you schedule when your members should have access to it. You can <strong>drip content</strong>, which means that you can schedule when members should have access to your content. For example, you can require that customers be a member for a week before they can access certain posts or pages.</p>
<figure id="attachment_164490" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164490" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-restrict-content-rules.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-164490" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-restrict-content-rules.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Memberships: Add plan restrictions" width="950" height="506" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-164490" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Plan Content Restriction</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>This gives you more control over how members begin using your site and lets you introduce members to your content at your pace.</p>
<p>When you use this with Subscriptions, you can even determine which content is included in a free trial period with content dripping rules.</p>
<figure id="attachment_157756" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-157756" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/woocommerce-memberships-plan-content-restriction-subscriptions.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-157756" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/woocommerce-memberships-plan-content-restriction-subscriptions.png?w=550" alt="WooCommerce Memberships content dripping with trial" width="550" height="453" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-157756" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Dripping with free trial</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Turn Your Store into a Purchasing Club</h3>
<p>Memberships lets you create members-only products so that your site can become a purchasing club, or let you offer certain products exclusively to members.</p>
<p>You can restrict <strong>product viewing</strong> to members, which means these products will be hidden from non-members in your shop. You can also <strong>restrict purchasing</strong>, which means that products are public, but only members can buy them.</p>
<figure id="attachment_164491" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164491" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-product-restriction-rules.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-164491" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-product-restriction-rules.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Memberships: product restriction rules" width="950" height="413" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-164491" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Plan Product Restriction</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>You can also drip product access so that members don’t get access to products immediately.</p>
<h3>Offer Better Shipping Options to Members</h3>
<p>Members should be your most loyal customers, so giving them perks that encourage them to purchase repeatedly from you keeps them coming back for more. Memberships extends your free shipping settings so you can offer free shipping directly to your members, while requiring non-members to meet other criteria (like having a coupon or minimum order amount).</p>
<figure id="attachment_967157" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-967157" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/woocommerce-memberships-member-free-shipping.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-967157" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/woocommerce-memberships-member-free-shipping.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Memberships: member free shipping" width="950" height="686" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-967157" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Add members-only free shipping</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Reward Members with Special Discounts</h3>
<p>Since you may want to give your members certain perks, you can provide <strong>member discounts</strong> for all products, some products, or certain product categories.</p>
<figure id="attachment_164492" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164492" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-discount-rules.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-164492" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-discount-rules.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Memberships: Add member discounts" width="950" height="283" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-164492" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Plan Purchasing Discounts</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Automatically Show Members Their Perks</h3>
<p>While membership management should be easy on you, it should be easy on your members, too. Members can find all of the information they need about their memberships in the <strong>Member Area</strong>. Members can access the area for any membership from the “My Account” page by clicking “View”.</p>
<figure id="attachment_159452" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-159452" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/woocommerce-memberships-my-discounts.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-159452" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/woocommerce-memberships-my-discounts.png?w=550" alt="WooCommerce Membership member area my discounts" width="550" height="385" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-159452" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Member Area: My Discounts</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>You can enable any or all sections of the member area to show members a list of accessible content (post and pages), products, discounts, and / or public membership notes. If a member will have access to content in the future, the member can see the access date as well.</p>
<h3>Import or Export Members</h3>
<p>You have a lot of tools to manage members within WooCommerce, but you may want to connect to other services too, such as importing a member list into an email tool. Memberships lets you <strong>export members</strong> to a CSV file so that you can get member data out of WooCommerce and into other tools.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/woocommerce-memberships-export-settings.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-161689" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/woocommerce-memberships-export-settings.png?w=786" alt="WooCommerce Memberships Export Settings" width="786" height="830" /></a></p>
<p>You can also <strong>import members</strong> via CSV to add new memberships, create new users, or bulk-update existing members by merging your file with existing data.</p>
<h3>Simplify Communication with Members</h3>
<p>When you run a membership site, you spend a lot of time on <strong>customer service</strong> and <strong>managing members</strong>. We’ve tried to make that as easy as possible with Memberships. We’ve added “Membership Notes” so that you can track information about memberships for a customer, add your own notes for your reference, and even easily communicate with a particular member by sharing a note with them via email.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/woocommerce-memberships-member-notes.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-157734 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/woocommerce-memberships-member-notes.png" alt="WooCommerce Memberships membership notes" width="550" height="545" /></a></p>
<p>You can also use <strong>expiration and renewal reminder emails</strong> to let members know of ending memberships and prompt them to renew or upgrade.</p>
<figure id="attachment_164494" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164494" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-plan-email-content.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-164494" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woocommerce-memberships-plan-email-content.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce memberships: plan email content" width="950" height="720" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-164494" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Plan Email Content</em></figcaption></figure>
<h3>Memberships + Subscriptions</h3>
<p>Memberships is fully functional as a stand-alone membership solution, but it works very well with the most advanced eCommerce recurring payments solution available: <strong>WooCommerce Subscriptions</strong>.</p>
<p>When both plugins are active, Memberships can leverage some features of Subscriptions to give you more flexibility over membership billing (more details <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships-subscriptions-integration/">in our documentation</a>):</p>
<ul>
<li>Memberships can use recurring billing (i.e., monthly payments) for the membership rather than a set term (such as a year)</li>
<li>Memberships can use Subscriptions as a payment plan, but control access length itself to support installment payments</li>
<li>Free trials can be used for the membership via a subscription</li>
<li>Content restriction and dripping can include or exclude free trial periods so you control what content is available in trials</li>
<li>Members can pause their own memberships by suspending a subscription</li>
<li>Members can upgrade or downgrade memberships by switching a subscription</li>
<li>Upgrades and downgrades can leverage Subscription’s proration to ensure that membership costs are accurate</li>
</ul>
<p>Even if you don’t want to use recurring billing, you can leverage the other features of Subscriptions by setting the subscription length to one billing cycle so you can take advantage of upgrades and downgrades or trial periods.</p>
