MemberPress Sendy is an official integration that connects your membership site with a self-hosted email newsletter application to send trackable emails via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). This bridge allows site owners to send authenticated bulk emails at significantly lower prices without sacrificing deliverability. By routing through Amazon SES, users often send newsletters 100x cheaper than traditional email providers.
WPExclusive members get access to MemberPress Sendy as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full MemberPress collection →
What Is MemberPress Sendy?
MemberPress Sendy is developed by MemberPress and is a membership integration plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional content creators and community leaders.
The integration solves the problem of high-cost email marketing by allowing membership owners to sync their user database with Sendy, a self-hosted PHP application. It is primarily for business owners who want to automate their list management while keeping infrastructure costs low.
MemberPress Sendy Features
The feature set is built around the automation of subscriber lists and cost-effective delivery via Amazon SES.
Automated Subscriber Management
The plugin allows you to add or remove subscribers from a specific list in Sendy based on their membership status. When a user registers or cancels their subscription in MemberPress, their record updates in the email system automatically. This keeps your marketing lists clean and compliant without manual intervention in the membership workspace.
Low-Cost High Deliverability
By connecting to Amazon SES via the Sendy application, this plugin facilitates sending trackable emails at a fraction of the cost of MailChimp or ActiveCampaign. You maintain high deliverability because the emails are authenticated through Amazon’s infrastructure. This is ideal for bulk newsletters or automated updates to large member bases.
Deep Integration and Tracking
The bridge ensures that tracking data from Sendy is relayed correctly for your membership campaigns. You can see who opened or clicked your registration follow-ups. The plugin supports various triggers including form submissions and course registration when used with MemberPress Courses, which is also available under the MemberPress vendor section.
Pricing
Retail access to MemberPress Sendy requires a premium MemberPress plan (Basic, Plus, or Pro), which typically ranges from $179 to $399 per year. Check current pricing on the MemberPress Sendy sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
