FAQ

Questions about use cases

Can one site cover more than one use case?

Yes. A club can sell courses and a creator can run a directory. Every feature works on every site, so you can mix them.

Do I need other plugins?

Only for things outside memberships. Video hosting, event tickets and forums come from other tools. Ultimate Membership Pro handles payments, access and members, and connects to tools like WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi and Mailchimp.

Can I move my current members over?

Yes. Import users and their Memberships from a CSV file, with their start and expiry dates.

Which plan do I need?

Most use cases work on every plan. Group memberships and pay per post come with Full Package and Agency.

Is there a demo I can try?

Yes. The live demo gives you a site with Ultimate Membership Pro already set up, so you can try it before you buy.
