Plugin Review: Gift Membership Add On

How it Works

The Gift Membership Add On is a powerful plugin that allows users to purchase gift memberships. With this plugin, any user can easily buy a gift membership for their friends, family, or colleagues. When a user purchases a gift membership, a customized discount code is generated, which can be redeemed for a free membership level. The plugin provides a user-friendly interface that allows gift purchasers to log in and view their purchase history, available gift codes, and claimed gift codes. This plugin is an excellent solution for anyone running a membership site looking to offer a gift option to their users.

Installation

Installing the Gift Membership Add On is a straightforward process. First, make sure you have the Paid Memberships Pro plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site. Then, navigate to the “Memberships > Add Ons” section in the WordPress admin area. Locate the Gift Membership Add On and click on the “Install Now” button. Once the installation is complete, activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in the WordPress admin.

Membership Level Settings

One of the key features of the Gift Membership Add On is the ability to create and manage gift membership levels. You can easily configure these settings by navigating to the “Memberships > Settings > Levels” section in the WordPress admin. Here, you can create a new “Gift Level” and specify the membership level for which a discount code should be created. You also have the option to allow customers to enter the recipient’s email address at checkout, which will send a personalized email to the recipient. Additionally, you can set an expiration period for the gifted membership to add a sense of urgency and encourage redemption.

Email Template Settings

The Gift Membership Add On provides you with the ability to customize the email templates sent to both the gift giver and the gift recipient. You can modify the default messages by going to the “Memberships > Settings > Email Templates” section in the WordPress admin. The plugin offers three new email templates: “Gift Recipient,” “Gift Purchased,” and “Gift Purchased (admin).” These templates allow you to add a personal touch to the communication between the gift giver and the recipient, enhancing the overall gifting experience.

Advanced Setup

For developers looking to further customize the Gift Membership Add On, the plugin offers advanced setup options. You can define “gift giver” and “gift recipient” level relationships using PHP, allowing for more flexibility and control over the plugin’s functionality. By creating a custom plugin or using the Code Snippets plugin, you can add custom code to your site to define the settings for the Gift Membership Add On. This advanced setup option is perfect for developers who want to tailor the plugin to their specific needs.

Limitations
