What Is PMPro: Variable Pricing Add On .41?
PMPro: Variable Pricing Add On .41 is developed by Paid Memberships Pro and is a membership plugin extension for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for community building and content restriction.
The plugin solves the problem of rigid pricing structures by introducing an input field on the checkout page where users can define their payment amount. It is intended for nonprofits, community groups, and arts organizations that want to empower supporters to pay at their own comfort level.
PMPro: Variable Pricing Add On .41 Features
The primary feature set is built around flexible contribution management within the standard checkout workflow.
Custom Pricing at Checkout
Users can enter their own price for a membership level directly in an input field. The entered price replaces any predefined initial or recurring payment amount established in the membership level settings. This functionality is essential for payment flexibility on donation-based platforms.
Minimum and Maximum Price Controls
Administrators can define a price range to maintain financial control. Setting a minimum price ensures that contributions cover transaction costs, while a maximum price prevents accidental overpayment. If a user tries to enter an amount outside this range, the plugin prevents the checkout from proceeding.
Suggested Pricing and Descriptions
To guide user contributions, site owners can display a recommended price that is pre-filled in the input field. The plugin also includes hooks such as pmpropvp_checkout_price_description to modify the instructions shown to users at checkout. This helps in framing the “pay what you want” offer effectively to potential members.

Pay What You Can Communities
Create more inclusive communities by letting users with lower incomes join at a reduced rate while inviting wealthier members to pay more. This fosters a dynamic environment where participation isn’t strictly limited by a flat fee.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Developers who build sites for diverse clients can use WPExclusive to access this specific add-on alongside others like Abandoned Cart Recovery. This significantly reduces the overhead cost of premium membership stacks.
