The Group Accounts Add On enables you to sell group memberships, where one account (the parent account) manages and pays for a group of members (child accounts).

This documentation provides step-by-step guidance for setting up and configuring the Add On, including instructions on how to configure the membership levels, the checkout process for both the parent and child accounts, and customizing the email templates. We’ve also included references to the available action and filter hooks so you can extend or customize functionality as needed.

This is a Plus Add On.

Plus membership includes all Add Ons, unlimited priority support, automatic updates, and additional benefits.

Step 1: Setting Up Membership Levels

Group Accounts requires you to have a minimum of two membership levels in your site: one that the owner of the group will hold (the parent account) and the level that members of the group get assigned (the child account).

Step 2: Create Manage Group Page

After configuring the group account details for your levels, you must also create a new frontend page for your member to manage their group.
