What Is PMPro: State Dropdown .1?
PMPro: State Dropdown .1 is developed by Paid Memberships Pro and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for site administrators and developers. The plugin provides a more structured checkout experience by forcing users to pick from verified lists rather than typing names manually.
The plugin solves the problem of inconsistent address data in member databases. It is designed for site owners who need accurate billing information for tax compliance or physical shipping needs.
PMPro: State Dropdown .1 Features
The feature set is built around automating the checkout workflow and improving user interface consistency during registration in the membership process.
Dynamic Dropdown Selection
When the plugin is activated, two dropdown selection fields appear in the Billing Address section of your checkout form. These fields are labeled Country and State respectively. The plugin ensures that the interface remains clean by only showing relevant options based on previous user input.
Country-Specific Filtering
When a user selects a Country, they will then be able to select the appropriate State or Province of the Country that was selected. This logic is powered by the Country Region Selector library created by Ben Keen. This integration ensures that the lists are comprehensive and technically sound for international audiences.
Zero-Configuration Setup
State Dropdown requires no manual setting configuration after activation. Once the plugin is live, the dropdown fields are automatically added to the Billing Address section at checkout. This includes support for the Edit Profile screens, ensuring data consistency across the entire member journey.
Pricing
State Dropdown is considered a Premium Add-On by the developer and is typically included in their high-tier annual plans. Check current pricing on the State Dropdown sales page, or access it as part of your WPExclusive membership plan.
