Reviews and Testimonials about Paid Memberships Pro

Testimonials About PMPro Max

We have only been with PMPro for a short time, but the Do It For Me option has already made a real difference. The team moved our existing WordPress site and is making significant updates. We are still working on migrating membership information from several Excel documents into an online system, but the process looks like it should be straightforward. I am looking forward to providing a much-improved online experience for our members.

My organization’s professional website designer and Administrator retired, leaving me, a member of the organization with little knowledge of how sites worked, as the person in charge.

The decision to move to PMPro Max proved to be an excellent choice.

The migration was seamless and the support staff talked me through retaining the domain ownership and the necessary changes to the nameservers.

I have used PMPro’s Do It For Me function successfully to make other beneficial changes to the site to better suit our purposes. The DIFM option, in my opinion, was the perfect solution in our situation.

Thank you to the team at PMP for helping me get my new membership off the ground. The whole experience to date has been fantastic. From the website migration to the DIFM services. I don't have a bad word to say about the team. I am just about to launch; I look forward to continuing our relationship over the coming months and hopefully years.

How Our Support Team Delivers

I am a real amateur webmaster for my small organization. Paid Memberships Pro has saved my sorry butt on more than one occasion. I love the personal support I get from these real and wonderful people! Thanks especially to Sam & Dale!

I really appreciate all the help provided to us by your support team, every question we had was answered quickly and clearly.

Best Support Ever The real strength of this project is the technical support—the quality of support and customer care. I have been using this great plugin for years and they have never let me down. In case of bugs, they can take care of the request in a very short time. Really marvelous.

A Customizable and Flexible Platform

Paid Memberships Pro is one of the key plugins for our business, allowing us to sell teaching resources via a monthly membership model. It is by far the best membership plugin out there, not just in terms of features, but also the support provided. The PMPro team have gone above and beyond assisting with customising features for our specific use case. 100% recommend - absolutely worth paying for the premium version (and the free version is very powerful too).

A wide selection of features and functionality—some of which you simply won’t find in any other membership solution on the market today. Registration and checkout are slick, and at the end of the process members are provided with detailed information about their transaction with the option to print off an invoice. The fact that you can customise all pages in this process is a definite plus, meaning you can add tailored welcome messages as well as select custom page templates for the checkout process. One thing is for sure: the innovations coming from the Paid Memberships Pro camp have us very excited about the future of this plugin, and we’re eagerly watching to see what they do next.

Excellent Product, Fantastic Support, Perfect with BuddyBoss What amazed me the most was the fantastic response from the tech support. I had an issue which was not a bug, but was a specific detail I needed for my membership levels to work exactly how I wanted. I reached out to support and they immediately provided me with some custom-made code snippets. Tech support is usually only required to help with bugs and things that aren’t working properly. In my case, they were going above and beyond what was required of them to help me out…which is a really refreshing thing to see in today’s modern world of business where tech support is often slow and minimal.

Just Getting Started & Growing

PMPro has become an automated income earner.
All I need to do is keep adding my digital resources and PMPro handles the rest.

As a start-up, I love that I was able to build my digital document subscription site with a free version of Paid Membership Pro. It took a lot of the stress of finances away to see if this venture was a viable option and still create a working platform that could also accept payment.

When demand grew, I was able to upgrade to a higher package to really shape my site to suit my growing clientele. Having access to not only a plethora of amazing add-ons, but also customer support, was truly a blessing.

Paid Memberships Pro took my classroom website and allowed me to turn it into a business. I was able to get started in just a month or two, and now have 500,000 visitors monthly from all over the world, generating a healthy supplement to my job at the school.

Paid Memberships Pro makes it so easy, I can generate twice my teacher's pay in just my free time after school!

Online saxophone lessons to students young, old, and in between, all over the world.
Paid Memberships Pro and Divi make up the two crucial components of my website. By using PMPro I can provide my online saxophone lessons as an ongoing membership or as a stand-alone course.

PMPro makes this all relatively easy for me. With all software and new things, there is a learning curve. However, once it’s set up and running it becomes easier the more you use it.
