MemberPress WooCommerce is an official integration that bridges the gap between the most popular WordPress membership plugin and the leading ecommerce engine. It allows site owners to sell MemberPress memberships through the WooCommerce checkout process and protect specific store products from unauthorized users. This integration enables a unified shopping experience where digital access and physical goods can coexist in a single cart.
WPExclusive members get access to MemberPress WooCommerce as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full MemberPress collection →
What Is MemberPress WooCommerce?
MemberPress WooCommerce is developed by MemberPress and is a ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It serves as a connector for those who prefer the robust checkout and payment gateway options of WooCommerce while wanting to utilize the access control power of MemberPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional store owners.
This plugin solves the friction point of having two separate checkout systems on one website. It is designed for creators and businesses who want to manage memberships using the same environment they use for physical or digital products.
MemberPress WooCommerce Features
The feature set is built around synchronizing user data and purchase events between the two platforms.
Membership Sales via WooCommerce
The plugin allows you to map WooCommerce products to MemberPress membership levels. When a customer completes a purchase in your store, the integration automatically assigns them the corresponding membership level. This effectively gives you access to dozens of WooCommerce-specific payment gateways that might not be natively available in the core membership plugin. It is a vital tool for sites focusing on membership growth through a shop interface.
Product Protection and Access Control
The integration provides the ability to protect WooCommerce products from being purchased by unauthorized users or non-members. You can set rules so that only users with a specific MemberPress level can see or buy certain store items. This is useful for creating member-only merchandise or exclusive digital downloads that are restricted to your loyal subscriber base.
Automated Member Provisioning
Once a WooCommerce order is marked as completed, the member is instantly created or updated in MemberPress. This includes support for creating transactions and managing expired subscriptions. The automated workflow ensures that users don’t have to wait for manual approval to access their gated content or courses.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the official integration is typically included as part of the MemberPress Scale license. Check current pricing on the MemberPress WooCommerce sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MemberPress Scale | $499+/year | Unlimited | All Add-ons |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | MemberPress WooCommerce + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers MemberPress WooCommerce plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.
Latest Version
The plugin receives regular updates to ensure compatibility with both WooCommerce and MemberPress core updates. WPExclusive updates plugin files promptly after each release to maintain security and feature currency.

Use Cases
Selling Memberships as Store Products
This is the primary use case for sites moving from basic digital sales to a ecommerce model where recurring memberships are the main revenue driver. It treats the membership just like any other product in the cart.
Restricting Shop Access to Members
Store owners can curate an exclusive shopping experience where certain items are visible but only purchasable by those with an active subscription. This creates a VIP feel for your core audience.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can deploy this integration across various client projects to build complex membership stores without the high cost of individual Scale licenses for every domain. A WPExclusive membership makes this economically viable.
