Paid Memberships Pro Subscription Delays

Subscription Delays is an add-on for the Paid Memberships Pro plugin. It lets administrators control when recurring subscription payments begin after a member checks out, using a Delay field in membership level or discount code settings. The delay can be a number of days, a fixed date, or a date calculated from the signup date.

Key Features

• Delay Field – A Delay field in membership level or discount code settings controls when the recurring subscription starts.
• Fixed Start Date – You can enter a specific date so that subscriptions for a level all begin on that day.
• Calculated Start Dates – The delay can be calculated from the signup date using placeholders for year, month, and day.
• Calendar Year Billing – Initial payment can be processed at checkout with immediate access, and the annual subscription begins on the first day of the next year.
• Monthly Billing Start – Initial payment is processed instantly and the monthly subscription starts on the first day of the following month.
• Per-Level Delays – Payment timing can be set differently for each membership level.
• Discount Code Delays – The delay can also be configured in discount code settings.

Who Is It For

This add-on is for site owners already using the Paid Memberships Pro plugin who need to control when recurring subscription payments start. It suits membership sites offering free trials, courses or events with fixed start dates, or groups whose renewals should align on the same day.
