WooCommerce Memberships

In this documentation, we will share how to integrate WooCommerce Memberships with Sublium Subscriptions. 

What are WooCommerce Memberships?

WooCommerce Memberships is a WooCommerce extension that allows you to create and manage membership-based access on your site. It helps you restrict content, offer member-only perks, and control product visibility based on membership status.

Sublium Subscriptions handles recurring billing, subscription management, and automated payment workflows.

Together, they enable you to build a complete membership system with automated billing and access control, where users can access content and benefits based on their active subscription status.

What the WooCommerce Memberships and Sublium Subscriptions Integration Enables

• Offer membership-based access with subscription or one-time pricing
• Automatically grant or revoke access to content, products, or categories based on subscription status
• Enable recurring membership billing with flexible intervals (weekly, monthly, annual)
• Manage renewals, cancellations, and payment retries through Sublium Subscriptions
• Provide member-only perks such as discounts, exclusive products, or early access
• Centralize subscription and billing management within Sublium Subscriptions

How to Manage WooCommerce Memberships with Sublium Subscriptions

Once someone signs up for a membership, you can find the subscription both in WooCommerce Memberships and Sublium Subscription. 

You can find it as the new Member in WooCommerce Membership.

And in Sublium Subscriptions, you can find it under Subscriptions. 

Subscription details

You can click on the Member name to see the Subscription details. In the Subscribers Details section, you can find all the details about the member, payment, and plan details. 

Subscription status

Under the action, you can reschedule an order, pause, cancel, renew, and delete the membership. 

Your action will also be reflected in WooCommerce Membership. 

For instance, pause the Subscription in Sublium. 

It will be paused in WooCommerce Memberships as well.

Example scenario

Imagine you run a beauty and skincare website. You can set up:

• A Free Member Tier that gets access to basic skincare tips, a few beginner routine guides, and product education
• A VIP Beauty Insider Tier that unlocks premium routine plans, exclusive skincare tutorials, and members-only blog content
• Special member-only discounts on beauty products and skincare tools
• Weekly content dripping, like unlocking new skincare routines or beauty hacks every Monday for VIP members

WooCommerce Memberships manages all these access rules, content dripping, and member perks smoothly.
