Free Plan #
No cost – members get access right away. Use it for a free community tier or a lead magnet. You can also give it to every new account with Auto assign membership plans to new user under Memberships → Settings.
Paid Plan (Lifetime) #
One payment, access that never expires.
⭐ Pro feature: Lifetime plans need Pro.
Paid Plan (Fixed Duration) #
One payment, access for a set length of time – days or weeks in the free plugin, months and years with Pro. With Pro you can add a Signup Fee, choose an End of Plan Action (expire, or move the member to another plan) and a Grace Period after the plan ends.
Subscription / Recurring #
Members are billed automatically on a recurring cycle. The price, billing cycle, number of payments, signup fee and trial are set on the linked WooCommerce product (Product data → Subscription). Cancellation, end-of-term and failed-payment rules are set under Subscriptions → Settings.
💡 Tip: Not sure? Start with a Subscription plan for recurring revenue, and a Free plan to let visitors sign up before they pay.
