Memberships without the add-ons.
NetMembers runs a membership site inside WordPress: as many levels as you like, members-only pages and files, sign-up, renewal reminders and a cancel button that actually works. It’s one free plugin, and it takes no cut of your sales.
A whole membership site, free.
Everything you need to run a membership, in one plugin, with no paid add-ons to piece together.
Unlimited levels
Free, by approval, or paid through WooCommerce with whichever payment method your shop already uses. One person can hold several levels.
Members-only content
Protect a page, a whole category or a content type, or just part of a page. Child pages follow their parent.
Protected files
Files are kept apart from your normal uploads and handed out only to the right levels.
Leak test
One button checks each protected page as a logged-out visitor, across the page, feeds, search and the REST API, and tells you if anything shows.
Access checker
Pick a person and a page and get the answer in plain English: whether they can see it, and why.
History for every member
Every change to a membership is recorded with who or what made it, so you don’t have to guess what happened.
Cancel in one click
One button and one confirmation, with no retention screens. They keep access to the date they’ve paid for, and can change their mind.
Reminders that get checked
Renewal reminders go out by themselves, and every email is logged as sent or failed, with the reason.
Paid means access
Access follows the order, and a daily check finds and fixes any paid order that didn’t get its membership. Renewing early never loses paid-for days.
Import and export
CSV import, with a preview first, keeps people’s end dates. Export at any time, so you’re never stuck.
Keep members, without the tricks.
NetMembers Pro is an add-on to the free plugin. It adds automatic renewals through Stripe, upgrades with credit, member discounts, drip content and pausing, on the same screens you already use. Group memberships and importers from other plugins are on the way.
- Automatic renewalsMembers choose it when they join, with nothing ticked in advance, and pay on Stripe’s secure page. They get an email before every charge and can stop it in one click. No extra plugin to buy.
- Failed payments handledA failed payment doesn’t cut anyone off. Access stays open for the days you choose, and they get an email with a link to fix it.
- Upgrades with creditMembers move up from their account page, with credit for the days they’ve paid for and don’t use, and see the sums before they pay.
- Member discountsA percentage off in your WooCommerce shop for each level, shown in the basket. It stops when their access does.
- Drip contentOpen a page, a category or a content type a set number of days after someone joins. Rejoining doesn’t restart it.
- Pause instead of cancelMembers pause for as long as you allow and keep their remaining days. No automatic payments are taken while paused, and they come back by themselves.

Good to know.
Do I need WooCommerce?
Only for paid levels. Free and approval levels work without it. Paid levels are sold as ordinary WooCommerce products, so any payment method your shop has will work.
Does NetMembers take a cut of my sales?
No. There are no transaction fees from us, on free or Pro. Your payment provider still charges its own fees.
Will members be charged automatically?
Not in the free plugin. Members get reminders and renew at an ordinary checkout, so nobody can be charged after cancelling. With Pro, each member can choose automatic renewal when they join.
What do automatic renewals need?
NetMembers Pro and your own Stripe account, with no other plugin to buy. Members pay on Stripe’s secure page, so card details never touch your site. Stripe’s own fees apply, including its fee for subscriptions, and NetMembers takes no cut.
What happens to protected pages if I deactivate the plugin?
They become public, because WordPress has nothing left to enforce your rules. Your settings and members are kept, and NetMembers warns you about this on the Plugins screen.
Are my protected files safe on any host?
Files get long random names and are served through an access check. On Apache the plugin blocks direct links for you. On nginx you add one rule, which the Tools screen gives you, and the leak test tells you whether it’s needed.
Do I need the free plugin for Pro?
Yes. NetMembers Pro is an add-on and needs NetMembers 1.1.0 or newer. Its options appear on the same screens, where the free plugin shows them greyed out.
Is the free version really free?
Yes. The free plugin has no visitor limits, no licence key and no account, and nothing in it will be taken away. Pro adds extras on top.
What happens when my Pro licence runs out?
Pro keeps working. Your licence key gives you one-click updates and support for a year; renew it when you want new versions.
Does it work with the other Net plugins?
Yes. Every Net plugin folds into one Netchameleon menu in your dashboard, and they share data where it helps: forms feed bookings, polls feed mailing lists, and NetCookies lists the cookies the others set.
