Product Overview
EMember is a WordPress membership plugin that turns any new or existing WordPress site into a complete membership platform. Whether you’re selling courses, gating premium content, or building a subscription community, EMember handles the heavy lifting — member registration, content protection, level management, and payment integration — so you can focus on creating value.
Key Features
- Unlimited Membership Levels: Create as many tiers as you need — Free, Basic, Premium, Ultimate, or custom names — each with its own access rules and pricing.

- Payment Gateway Ready: Integrates with PayPal and other gateways for one-time or recurring payments (monthly, quarterly, yearly).

- GPL License — Unlimited Domains: Use on as many sites as you own or manage. No domain restrictions, no recurring license fees.
- Lifetime Manual Updates: Receive version updates for the life of the product. Updates are delivered manually to ensure compatibility with each WordPress release.
- Clean, Virus-Free Code: Every release is verified clean and free of malicious code.
Benefits
EMember removes the technical barriers to launching a membership business. You don’t need custom development or multiple plugins stitched together. The plugin handles registration flows, content dripping, payment processing, and member communications in one package. Because it’s GPL-licensed, agencies and freelancers can deploy it across client sites without license management overhead. The included video tutorials mean less time troubleshooting and faster time-to-revenue.
