The problem

Membership challenges

A membership site sells ongoing value: a growing library of courses, regular live sessions, new content each month and a community. Members pay monthly or yearly, and their access must follow their payment status without manual work.

Tutor LMS Pro supports this with its own Subscription add-on, add-ons for Paid Memberships Pro, Restrict Content Pro and WooCommerce Subscriptions, Content Drip for scheduled releases and BuddyPress for community.

  • Access control

    Members get the right content; ex-members do not.

  • Churn

    Keeping members engaged month after month.

  • Tiers

    Different levels unlocking different content.

  • Payments

    Renewals, failures and upgrades.

Running memberships on Tutor LMS

Choosing the engine

Pro's Subscription add-on keeps everything in Tutor LMS native eCommerce, with plans, recurring intervals and trials. Paid Memberships Pro and Restrict Content Pro suit sites that restrict other content too. WooCommerce Subscriptions suits stores already on WooCommerce. See membership integration.

Keeping members

Regular releases with Content Drip, live sessions and community activity give members a reason to stay. Progress is kept even if a member cancels, so returning members continue where they left off.
