Easily add a “Shop” style page using Addon Packages (sell access to a single post)

Version .5 of Addon Packages includes a new [pmpro_addon_packages] shortcode. This shortcode allows you to display a “shop” like page of available addon packages (all pages and posts with a defined pmproap_price). Just add the shortcode to a page with your desired attributes.

Different cases for different users

  • If the current user has already purchased the addon package, they will see a link to “View”.
  • If the current user has a valid membership for the addon package, they can purchase without modifying their membership level.
  • If the current user does not have a membership level or there is no current (not logged in), they can click the “buy” button to purchase membership and the addon package in one step.
