Imagine managing a group of students who follow your lessons, with each module unlocking exactly when you scheduled it—without any manual work or errors. Imagine publishing content, products, or resources only for registered members, while all payments and content releases run completely on autopilot.

YITH WooCommerce Membership allows you to do all of this and more.

You can organize courses, deliver premium services, build valuable membership programs, send messages to members, and schedule when specific content becomes available. This plugin removes the complexity behind managing protected content and gives you full control over your membership system.

Memberships are fast and ready to set up—simply create your products, and the plugin will handle access, protection, and delivery. It works with pages, posts, WooCommerce products, videos, media files, and more. The built-in private area lets you protect your content and display it only to users who have purchased a membership plan.
