Paid Memberships Pro SMTP

Paid Memberships Pro SMTP is a WordPress plugin that sends your site's transactional email through an authenticated SMTP server or a transactional email API instead of the server's default mail function. It supports any SMTP server plus six API providers, and lets you send a test email from the settings page before going live.

Key Features

• Custom SMTP connection – Connect to any outgoing mail server by entering its host, port, encryption, and authentication details.
• Transactional email APIs – Send through one of six transactional email APIs instead of SMTP, which works even when your host blocks outgoing SMTP ports.
• Backup provider failover – Set an optional second provider that takes over automatically when your primary API provider fails.
• Sandbox mode – Stop all outgoing email on staging and development sites so test environments do not send real messages.
• Test email and diagnostics – Send a test message and check connection diagnostics directly from the settings page.
• Existing sender settings kept – Your current sender settings and Paid Memberships Pro email logging continue to work without changes.
• Gmail app password support – Gmail and Google Workspace work through the Custom SMTP connector, but require an app password rather than your normal account password.
