What Is PMPro – Custom Level Cost Text?
PMPro – Custom Level Cost Text 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 restricted content and subscription management.
This plugin solves the issue of rigid, auto-generated pricing strings that may not fit your specific offer or branding. It is designed for site administrators who want to simplify complex billing descriptions or translate pricing terms for their audience.
PMPro – Custom Level Cost Text Features
The feature set is built around providing both global and local overrides for pricing display logic within the Paid Memberships Pro ecosystem.
Global Pricing Adjustments
Developers can use advanced settings to apply broad changes across the entire site. These options include removing the word “now” from pricing text, replacing “$0.00” with “Free,” and swapping the word “per” with a forward slash for a cleaner UI. You can also hide unnecessary decimals and abbreviate long billing periods like Month to Mo or Year to Yr.
Per-Level and Discount Code Overrides
Custom Level Cost Text allows for specific overrides at the individual level or discount code settings. This is useful when a particular marketing campaign requires more engaging language or when a discount code significantly changes the billing structure. It ensures that the specific pricing message shown to the user is accurate and optimized for conversion.
Dynamic Data Placeholders
The plugin supports various placeholders to pull in live data from the membership settings. You can use tags like !!initial_payment!!, !!billing_amount!!, and !!cycle_period!! to build custom sentences that still update automatically if you change the level prices. This eliminates the need to manually update text strings every time a price change occurs.

Use Cases
Simplified Clean Checkout Experiences
Sites looking to remove clutter from their membership checkout pages can use the plugin to shorten “$10.00 per month” to “$10/mo.” This improves readability on mobile devices and creates a more professional appearance.
Marketing-Focused Discount Codes
When offering a trial period, you can change the text to highlight the “Free Trial” aspect rather than the technical billing cycle description. This helps reduce friction for new signups who might be intimidated by complex subscription language.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can deploy this plugin across various client membership sites to ensure brand consistency in pricing displays. A WPExclusive membership allows for deployment on unlimited client sites without purchasing separate licenses for every domain.
