Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
What Is MemberPress?
MemberPress is a monetization and membership plugin for WordPress. That's why we call it an “all-in-one” solution. MemberPress is a paywall, subscription, learning management system (LMS), community, and subscription plugin that makes it easy to transform your WordPress site into an online business.
What is the difference between a Membership and a Subscription?
A Membership is something you set up in MemberPress, and it gives access to some protected content you have. Membership can create a subscription, but it doesn't have to if membership is free on a one-time payment, for instance. A subscription is something that gets created on the payment gateway after someone purchases a paid membership.
How can I upgrade my MemberPress account and only pay the difference?
Upgrading is simple in MemberPress. If you decide you'd like to upgrade from the current version you are on, simply login to MemberPress.com, and go to the Subscriptions tab. Then go to the far right of your Membership and click the Change Plan link.
That will send you to the standard MemberPress purchase page, but the prices you'll see are prorated based on what you've paid already, and how long you've had that membership. So, the sooner you upgrade, the more you'll be credited.
How can I cancel my current subscription?
For canceling your current MemberPress subscription you will need to log in to MemberPress.com and go to the Subscriptions tab. Then go to the far right of your Membership and click the Cancel link. You will then be taken through a short survey process. Make sure you complete the process and your subscription status is updated on the Subscriptions tab. Which will stop any future charges from your account.
How do I update my credit card info?
For updating your credit card info you will need to log in to MemberPress.com and go to the Subscriptions tab. Then go to the far right of your Membership and click the Update link. Enter your new credit card details and click Submit button. That's simple, right :)

Why can't I see my add-ons?
