- Features
-
- Subscription Plans management: You can create and manage(list, edit, delete, update, publish, unpublish) subscription plans from back-end of your site. For each subscription plan, you can specify price (how much users have to pay to sign up), subscription length (how long the membership is active if users sign up for this plan), thumbnail, description.... of that plan.
- Recurring subscription: From version 1.1.0, Membership Pro allows you to create recurring subscription plan (for example, Weekly or Monthly or Yearly recurring subscription). When the subscription of one subscriber is expired, it will be renewed automatically. Please note that not all payment plugins support recurring subscription. At the moment, only Paypal and Authorize.net are supported. If you use a different payment plugin, you won't be able to use this recurring subscription option.
- Membership sign-up from front-end: When users visit your site, they will see list of publish subscription plans, choose a plan they want, sign up and process payment (via online payment gateways such as Paypal, Authorize.net, Eway, Offline Payment...). After that, they will have an active membership of that subscription plan and can access to restricted resources which you setup for each subscription plan.
- Subscribers management: From back-end of your site, you can see list of subscribers, filter subscribers by status (Pending, Active, Expired, Cancelled...), delete subscribers, create a new subscription for an existing user, edit/delete a subscriber.....
- Flexible membership renew options: When user has an active membership, he can renew his membership to extend their membership active time. The extension is designed so that the renewal option is very flexible, subscriber can renew his membership in the number of days he wants. For example, if you setup a subscription plan with subscription length is 60 days and price is 60$, you can define different renew options as below :
- Renew 10 days , price 12$ .
- Renew 20 days, price 20$.
- Renew 30 days, price 28$... and so on.
You can setup any number of renew options to meet the need of your system (very flexible).
- Flexible upgrade options : You can setup the system so that when user has an active membership of a subscription plan, he can upgrade his membership to a different subscription plan if his membership meets the criteria you setup in Upgrade Rule (of course, he will need to pay a fee to upgrade his membership). For example, you can setup the system so that subscribers of 6 Months Membership can pay 30$ to upgrade his membership to 12 Months Membership.....
- Auto Reminder feature : You can setup the system so that it will send notification email to subscribers X-Days and Y-Days before their membership expired so that they will know and process renew his membership.

- Coupon Code feature allows you to create coupon codes from back-end of the extension and send these coupon codes to your customers so that they get discount while subscribing for your subscription plans. Coupon code can give discount by amount or by percent of total subscription cost, can be used for one plan or for all subscription plans.
- Build-in Invoice support : Membership Pro allows you to config the extension so that when someone subscribe for a subscription plan, a PDF Invoice will be generated. The format (layout) of this invoice can be changed in Confguration of the extension. This PDF invoice can be sent to subscriber's email. Subscribers can also download this PDF invoice on subscription history page.
- Restrict access to resources based on subscription plans : When you create/edit a subscription plan, depend the plugins you use, you can do the following settings to restrict access to different resources on your site :
- Restrict access to Docman Documents: If you are using Docman on your site and want to restrict access to Docman Documents for Subscribers, you can use OS Membership Docman Plugin. The plugin allow you to setup your system so that when user sign-up for a subscription plan, they will be assigned to the corresponding Docman Groups so that they can download the documents restricted to subscribers of this subscription plan. When their membership expired, they will be removed from that Docman Groups automatically and they won't be able to access to the Documents anymore.
- Assign Subscribers to Joomla Groups when they sign up for a subscription plan (Joomla 1.6 and above version). By assign subscribers to Joomla Groups, you can use Joomla ACL feature to restrict access to any resources on your site (Joomla Articles, Joomla Menus, Joomla Modules, resources from custom extensions which support Joomla ACL...). This feature is provided by OS Membership Joomla Groups Plugin.
- Restrict access to part of Joomla article: Membership Pro has a content plugin which allows you to restrict access to part of content in a Joomla article to subscribers of certain subscription plans. When a user read an article which has text restricted, he will see a message tell them that they will have to be an active subscribers to see that text...(the message of course can be configurable).

Other payment gateways like 2Checkout, Google Checkout…are released as separate plugins and you will need to purchase it if you want to use these extra plugins on your site.

So for example, if you want to integrate it with JDownloads extension, you can simply write a plugin for it (very easy) ...
