If your Paid Memberships Pro site also uses WooCommerce to sell memberships, you might want to show members their PMPro account details inside Woo’s “My Account” page, instead of sending them to a separate page.
This recipe shows you how to do just that: add a custom tab to Woo’s account area using built-in WooCommerce endpoints.
It’s a simple way to create a more seamless, centralized experience for your members. Read on to learn how it works and get the code recipe for your membership site.
Understanding WooCommerce Endpoints
In WooCommerce, endpoints are special URL “triggers” that let you display custom content inside the My Account page.
Technically speaking, an endpoint is a URL segment that comes after the main account URL. For example:
yourdomain.com/my-account/my-membership/
When WooCommerce detects that /my-membership/ has been added to the URL, it loads your custom content in place of the standard account dashboard, all technically within the same WordPress page.
This is how WooCommerce powers built-in sections like Orders, Downloads, or Addresses. And it’s exactly how you’ll embed your Membership Account info into the WooCommerce My Account dashboard.
Note: WooCommerce is not required, and in many cases, not the ideal way to sell your PMPro memberships. This recipe is only useful to sites that use WooCommerce to sell membership and want to consolidate their PMPro Account page into their WooCommerce My Account page.
