What Is EDD Restrict Content Pro Member Discounts?
EDD Restrict Content Pro Member Discounts is developed by Easy Digital Downloads and is a membership extension for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional site administrators. The plugin bridges the gap between content restriction and digital commerce.
This plugin solves the friction of manual discounting by linking membership status to shop pricing. It is built for digital store owners who want to incentivize recurring subscriptions through tangible financial benefits on individual product purchases.
EDD Restrict Content Pro Member Discounts Features
The feature set is built around granular control over how membership levels interact with product pricing across a digital storefront.
Automated Tiered Discounting
The plugin allows you to create an unlimited number of membership levels, including free, trial, and premium tiers. You can assign specific percentage-based discounts to each level, such as giving Platinum members 10% off and Gold members 5% off. This works seamlessly with the ecommerce workflows established in your digital store.
Granular Product Exclusions
You have the flexibility to tailor these discounts as needed by excluding certain products or categories from the automated discounting scheme. To exclude a single product, simply check the option in the Download Settings panel when editing or creating a file. This ensures that high-value or low-margin items remain at full price regardless of the buyer’s status.
Category-Level Control
Beyond individual items, the plugin provides category-wide settings to exclude entire groups of products. By navigating to the Categories section within the dashboard, you can toggle exclusions for specific groups. This is particularly useful for stores with large inventories where updating individual products is inefficient.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Member Discounts sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan. The retail version is typically bundled with higher-tier licensing from the developer.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | Member Discounts + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers Member Discounts plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.
Latest Version
The plugin receives regular updates to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress and its core dependencies. WPExclusive updates plugin files promptly after each release to maintain security and stability.
