Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus – External Membership Sites (AddOns Bundle)

The External Membership Sites Add-Ons Bundle integrates Wishlist Member and WooCommerce and allows you to sell external Wishlist Member membership levels from your WooCommerce store.

So, if your WooCommerce store is installed in Domain A and you want to sell membership levels that are installed in Domain B, you will need to use the bundle to do it, for example:

• Your WooCommerce store is located in – http://store.yourdomain.com
• Your Wishlist membership site is located in – http://membership.yourdomain.com

OR

• Your WooCommerce store is located in – http://yourdomain.com/store
• Your Wishlist membership site is located in – http://yourdomain.com/membership

OR

• Your WooCommerce store is located in – http://domain-one.com
• Your Wishlist membership site is located in – http://domain-two.com

What Add-Ons the Bundle Includes?

The bundle includes 2 add-ons:

1. The External Membership Sites Add-On – The add-on is installed on your WooCommerce store and it collects all the important information about your membership products, including: the membership product name, level ID, status and more, and it allows you to manage all external products from one table
2. The Remote Access Add-On – the add-on is installed on your Wishlist membership site, it connects between the two websites, and make sure that members who purchase a membership product from your store will be registered to the membership site correctly (both new and existing members)

How Many Licenses Will I Need for Each Add-On?

For every WooCommerce store you will need 1 license of:

• Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus Plugin
• External Membership Sites Add-On

For every External membership site you will need 1 license of:

• Remote Access Add-On

The External Membership Products Table

The External Membership Sites Add-on is installed on the same website where your WooCommerce store is and it allows you to manage all external products in one table.

The External Membership Products table will be displayed only after you install and activate the add-on.

The information displayed in the table includes:

• Product Name – The product’s name
• Status – The product’s status, for example: published / draft / pending
• Website’s URL – The URL of the membership site users will register to when purchasing the product
• Level ID – The membership level’s ID
• Authenticate – Notifies you if the integration between your store and the membership site is successful for each product (will be explained further in the manual when we explain about the Remote Access add-on)
• Actions – You can click to edit the product’s details

Screenshot:

The Remote Access Add-On

The Remote Access Add-On is installed on your membership site and not on your WooCommerce store website. The Remote Access plugin connects between your online store and your membership site, and make sure that members will be registered to the membership site correctly (both new and existing members).

You must have the Remote Access Add-On installed in every external membership site you want to register members to.

After you activate the Remote Access add-on, you will be able to see all the information you need in order to set the integration between your membership site and your WooCommerce store as seen in the screenshot below.

Screenshots:

1. General Wishlist Member information

2. Encoded membership levels setting to easily copy-paste the details required for the external integration

This is where you insert the encoded setting:

After you click Publish” all the information, including: Wishlist Member API, URL and Level ID will be automatically added as seen below:

Here are some of the most common questions about Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus:

Does Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus support cancellations?

Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus is used to sell membership products using Wishlist Member, so you can sell membership levels and / or pay-per-posts as WooCommerce products.

All other aspects of payment and subscriptions are managed by WooCommerce plugin and extensions.

Our product does not interfere with any of these aspects and it is working behind the scenes after a successful payment has been made.

Because WooCommerce is working with hundreds of payment gateways and each payment gateway is programmed by different developers, many of the developers does not completely comply with WooCommerce coding guidelines.

Because of that, cancellations are very difficult to support and can only be done to specific payment gateways that program their extensions correctly.

Because Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus was designed to work with all payment gateways, it is impossible to develop a cancellation feature that will work on all payment gateways.

An example for that is WooCommerce Subscriptions extensions that is only supported by specific payment gateways and, as you can check their website, not all payments are fully supported with all the features.

Does Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus support trial periods?

As written in the previous question regarding cancellations, all payment subscriptions and trial periods are handled by WooCommerce Subscriptions extension and because of that, if the subscription extension supports trial periods you can do it.

Since WooThemes no longer supports their “WooCommerce Wishlist Member Integration” plugin and I am already using it, how can I move from their plugin to “Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus” smoothly?

Moving from the WooThemes plugin to Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus” plugin can be done very easily and smoothly, just follow these steps:

• Step #1: Install the “Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus” plugin on your website
• Step #2: Copy the SKU Prefix from the WooThemes plugin by going to WooCommerce menu > Settings > Wishlist Member tab
• Step #3: Paste the SKU Prefix to “Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus” plugin by going to WL Extension menu > Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus > Settings
• Step #4: Deactivate the “WooCommerce Wishlist Member Integration” Plugin by WooThemes

Once you have changed the SKU Prefix and deactivated the WooThemes plugin the integration will continue to work just as it did before you activated Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus plugin.

You can check that everything is indeed working by checking your membership products in the Membership Products Summary Table and see that all the membership products have been identified correctly by Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus as seen in the below screenshot:

What version of WooCommerce plugin I need in order to use the plugin?

You will need to use WooCommerce version 2.3 and higher

Can I use only the bundle, without the plugin Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus?

No, the External Membership Sites & Remote Access Add-Ons are an addition to the main plugin, you must also purchase Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus for the add-ons to work.

If my WooCommerce Store and Wishlist Member are installed on the exact same domain, will I need to purchase the “External Membership Sites Add-Ons Bundle”?

If both WooCommerce and Wishlist Member are installed on the exact WordPress installation, you will not need the “External Membership Sites Add-Ons Bundle”, only the main plugin – Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus

If my WooCommerce store and Wishlist membership site are located on different domains / sub-domains or files, will I still need to purchase the “External Membership Sites Add-Ons Bundle”?

Yes, because you have 2 different WordPress installations you will need to use the add-on. Examples of different domains are:

1. http://domain1.com & http://domain2.com (different domains)

2. http://domain1.com/woo & http://domain2.com/wlm (different directories)

3. http://woo.domain1.com & http://wlm.domain2.com (different sub-domains)

Can I Purchase More Licenses of the Remote Access Add-On Separately?

Yes, if you need to integrate multiple membership sites and you need more licenses (each membership site requires a license), you can purchase them separately in this link >> Purchase Remote Access Add-On

It sounds complicated to operate the plugin and add-ons to work with an external membership site, where can I find more information on how to integrate it exactly?

Actually, it is very simple and easy to install and activate all 3 and make them work seamlessly. The process is very quick and requires only 4 simple steps. You can find all the information in our detailed manual in this link

Does the plugin have any conflicts with other plugins?

As far as we know, the plugin does not conflict with any other plugin. Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus, as well as all its add-ons, keep a very strict code method so the chances that it’s causing any problem are very low. If you have any problems or conflicts, please contact the support department.

Does the plugin integrate with every membership site platform?

No, Wishlist Member WooCommerce Plus and the add-ons are Wishlist Member dedicated only.
