DigiMember is a paid WordPress membership plugin for protecting pages, posts, courses, and downloads on your own website. It requires self-hosted WordPress on your web space and generally does not work with WordPress.com plans that do not permit plugins. Access rules can limit content to members who own a relevant product, while content release can follow weekly, monthly, or member-progress schedules. Download links may expire and be tied to both a member and a time period. Payment automation can suspend access after an unpaid installment and restore it after payment, when the provider supplies the required status. Action-based Marketing can react to member activity, such as completing a lesson and presenting a product. PRO includes examinations, certificates, payment integrations, and email-marketing connections. Named payment services include DigiStore24, Stripe, PayPal, and Payrexx, with generic interfaces for others. Use cases include courses, downloads, memberships, lead magnets, congresses, magazines, and training. DigiMember was founded in 2013 in Münster, Germany. PRO monthly costs 47.00 EUR per month, plus VAT; PRO yearly costs 397.00 EUR per year.
