FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions about MemberMouse WooCommerce Plus:
Does MemberMouse WooCommerce Plus support cancellations?
MemberMouse WooCommerce Plus is used to sell membership products using MemberMouse, so you can sell membership levels and bundles as WooCommerce products.
All other aspects of payments and subscriptions are managed by the 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 MemberMouse 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 MemberMouse 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.
What version of WooCommerce plugin I need in order the plugin?
You will need to use WooCommerce version 2.3 and above
Can I use only the bundle, without the plugin MemberMouse WooCommerce Plus?
No, the External Membership Sites & Remote Access Add-Ons are an addition to the main plugin, you must also purchase MemberMouse WooCommerce Plus for the add-ons to work.
If my WooCommerce Store and MemberMouse are installed on the exact same domain, will I need to purchase the “External Membership Sites Add-Ons Bundle”?
If both WooCommerce and MemberMouse are installed on the exact same WordPress installation, you will not need the “External Membership Sites Add-Ons Bundle”, only the main plugin – MemberMouse WooCommerce Plus
If my WooCommerce store and MemberMouse 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/mm (different directories)
3. http://woo.domain1.com & http://mm.domain2.com (different sub-domains)
