Paid Memberships Pro Affiliate Plugin
Your membership site grows when the right people recommend it.
The Paid Memberships Pro affiliate plugin tracks who sends your new members — and pays them commissions on sign-ups and recurring payments
Start Using Affiliate Referrals with Paid Memberships Pro
Paid Memberships Pro is one of WordPress’s most flexible membership plugins — used by content creators, communities, online publishers, training providers, and subscription businesses to restrict content, manage members, and collect recurring payments. With 100,000+ active installations and a developer-friendly architecture, it’s the membership plugin of choice for sites that need control without rigidity. Most new members don’t find your site through ads. They find it because someone recommended it — a blogger who wrote about your content, a current member who shared a link, an industry partner who mentioned your community. Right now, you have no way to track those referrals or reward them.
The Paid Memberships Pro affiliate plugin integration in Ultimate Affiliate Pro adds that missing layer. When a referred visitor completes a membership checkout, the affiliate who sent them is credited automatically. Commissions can apply to the initial sign-up and to every recurring payment that follows — depending on your rules.
How the Paid Memberships Pro Affiliate Plugin Works
An affiliate shares their referral link to your membership site. A visitor clicks it, browses your membership levels, and completes checkout. Ultimate Affiliate Pro detects the new membership purchase, matches it to the affiliate’s tracking cookie, and records the referral. The Paid Memberships Pro affiliate tracking gives you full control:
- A $29/month community membership pays affiliates $10 for the initial sign-up
- A $199/year premium membership pays $30 per new member referred
- Recurring subscription payments continue generating commissions for the affiliate month after month
- Free membership levels or trial sign-ups can be excluded from the affiliate program
Paid Memberships Pro continues handling your membership levels, content restriction, payment processing, and member management exactly as before. Ultimate Affiliate Pro handles the Paid Memberships Pro affiliate tracking and commission payouts alongside it — without altering your checkout or member experience.
