Description

Paid Memberships Pro Approvals is an add-on for the Paid Memberships Pro plugin that lets site owners review new membership applications before granting access. Administrators, Membership Managers, or Approvers can approve or deny applications, and applicants receive email updates as their status changes. Until approval, applicants cannot view members-only content.

Key Features

  • Admin Approval Workflow – Administrators can review each application and choose to approve or deny membership.
  • Two-Step Application Process – You can require an approved membership from another level before checkout is completed, creating a two-step application and full registration flow.
  • Custom User Fields – Applicants can provide extra information through customizable fields during the application.
  • Automated Email Notifications – Both the applicant and the admin receive emails about the application status as it moves through the process.
  • Approval History Log – Each member's Edit Member screen shows a log of approval decisions, including who acted and when.
  • Optional Application Fee – You can charge an application fee on the initial level and then bill the full recurring fee on the primary membership once approved.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for membership site owners who need to control who can join and access restricted content, such as educational institutions, professional associations, and exclusive clubs. It suits organizations that want a manual review step before granting membership.
