Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SmartMembers.

Have more questions? Contact support →
How is SmartMembers different from other membership plugins?
SmartMembers is the only WordPress membership plugin that combines content protection, a full LMS, coaching management (CoachKit™), community forums (ClubSuite™), subscription billing, and affiliate tracking in a single install. Most competitors make you buy and stitch together separate plugins.
Do you charge transaction fees?
Never. SmartMembers charges zero transaction fees on any plan. You pay your payment gateway's standard processing fee (e.g. Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢), and every other cent goes straight to you.
Can I migrate from MemberPress or Restrict Content Pro?
Yes — SmartMembers ships with a one-click migration wizard that imports members, subscription history, and access rules from MemberPress, Restrict Content Pro, Paid Memberships Pro, and WooCommerce Memberships.
Does it work with any WordPress theme?
SmartMembers is theme-agnostic and works with any properly coded WordPress theme, including block themes, classic themes, and page builders like Elementor, Divi, and Bricks.
What payment gateways are supported?
Stripe and PayPal are fully supported out of the box, including subscriptions, one-time payments, free trials, and coupons. Stripe gives you access to cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA Direct Debit, and more.
Can I offer free trials or discount coupons?
Yes. Every plan supports free trials (time-limited or evergreen), percentage and fixed-amount coupons, and gift memberships. You can create unlimited coupons with optional expiry dates and usage limits.
Is there a limit on the number of members?
No. All SmartMembers plans include unlimited members, unlimited membership levels, and unlimited content protection rules. There are no per-seat charges or member caps.
What kind of support do you offer?
All plans include access to our expert support team (average < 4hr response), 500+ documentation articles, 100+ video tutorials, and our 50,000-member community forum. Growth and Scale plans include priority support.
