Paid Membership Pro – Approval GPL v1.6.4 – Process for Membership

Description

Paid Memberships Pro – Approval Process for Membership

How it Works

After a member signs up, the Admin, Membership Manager, or new Approver roles will have the ability to approve their membership or deny the application. The member will be charged the initial payment and subscription configured (if applicable) based on the level’s settings at checkout.

Additionally, you can set a level to require an approved membership from another level in order to complete checkout. This allows you to offer a two-step membership application and full membership registration model. You can place an application fee on the application level, and then charge your full recurring membership fee on the primary membership for approved members.

The applying member and the admin will receive email notifications along the process to alert them of the application status.

Members pending approval will not have access to view members-only content until their membership has been approved. After a member is approved, they will be able to access all members-only content.

Processing Approvals

Approvals are managed via the Memberships > Approvals admin page.

This dashboard shows all of your members that have completed an application and allows the administrator to approve, deny, or view the status of a previous decision.

• To approve a member, click the “Approve” link.
• To deny a member, click the “Deny” link.
• To reverse a previous decision, click the “[x]” link.
