Memberful – Membership Plugin

As a developer, Memberful is at the top of my shortlist for plugins I recommend to clients seeking a way to put a paywall on their website. First and foremost, it tremendously simplifies the payment tracking process through their customized gateway and platform. Second, it’s backed by an awesome team that will actually meet with you and help you get everything configure and tuned to your site as part of the on boarding process. Finally, the codebase is robust enough that I can get it to fit any use case imaginable. It’s really the perfect blend of the philosophies of SaaS: “just do it for me” and Open Source: “I want to be able to do anything with it”.

Among my clients, I’m known for dishing out harsh criticism of so-called “modern” software—which is often slow, unstable, and riddled with bugs.

My experience working with Memberful has been a notable exception: It does what it says on the tin quickly, without issue, and without frustration. Not to mention I’ve found it straightforward to integrate with other software on every occasion, and is supported by one of the best customer service teams I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with—Lauren in particular always being a joy.

If the pricing works for your business, I think you’ll find working with Memberful to be a far more pleasant experience than you’ll have working with any comparable software.

Memberful handles paywalled and protected content, user CRM, and payments both elegantly AND precisely in a way no other WP membership solution can. While other options want to be a jack of all trades and master of none, Memberful handles what it handles and stays out of the way – giving full freedom to design and development teams to make memorable websites unhampered by one-size-fits-all “solutions.”

I have been using Memberful for a couple of months now and think it is great. Support is awesome and prompt. I would recommend it for anyone creating or updating a membership site.

I’ve been using Memberful for several years now. One of the things I like about them most is that they’re focused on constantly making the service better without constantly adding new features and making it bloated and difficult to use. I use Memberful for my Homeowners Association (HOA) site where all members are free (yes, Memberful supports that!). I also use it for a membership site that requires a subscription to access premium content. It works perfectly for my needs and it’s easy to use shortcodes and functions. For example, I use functions on template pages to show and hide certain information depending on if they’re logged in or not, and also what level of membership they have. Additionally, it fully integrates with Discourse, which is what I use for my forum. I love this service!
