What Is PMPro – Payflow Recurring Orders Add On?
PMPro – Payflow Recurring Orders Add On 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 membership site management.
This extension solves the disconnect between the Payflow payment gateway and WordPress member records by checking for new orders via the Payflow API. It is designed specifically for membership sites where users are restricted to one active membership level at a time.
PMPro – Payflow Recurring Orders Add On Features
The feature set is built around automated synchronization and transaction auditing.
Automated Synchronization
Payflow Recurring Orders adds a specific script to WP CRON that executes every hour to verify subscription statuses. This script communicates directly with the Payflow API to confirm if subscriptions are still active or if new recurring orders have been processed. Automating this check ensures that your membership database remains updated in real-time.
Order and Invoice Management
When the plugin detects a new recurring order, it automatically adds that transaction to the Paid Memberships Pro order list. An invoice is immediately generated and emailed to the member without administrator intervention. This creates a professional experience for users while reducing support tickets related to billing documentation.
Automated Cancellations
The plugin handles failed payments by monitoring the Payflow gateway for transaction declines. If a payment fails to process, the script will automatically cancel the membership within WordPress. It also sends a notification email to the member, prompting them to update their payment details to restore access.

Use Cases
Subscription Sites Using Payflow Pro
The primary use case is for sites where the Payflow Pro gateway is the main payment processor for membership levels. It ensures that the recurring billing cycles established at the gateway level are reflected accurately in the WordPress dashboard.
Automated Member Access Revocation
Sites that require strict access control benefit from the automated cancellation feature. When a payment fails in Payflow, the plugin immediately restricts site access, preventing users from consuming premium content without an active subscription.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Developers can use WPExclusive to deploy this synchronization tool across various client installations without purchasing individual licenses for every project. This reduces overhead for agencies offering maintained membership solutions.
