🚀 Overview

From sign-up to renewal, Membership Manager Pro streamlines operations: capture leads, convert to paid plans, automate renewals, issue invoices, and restrict premium content or features based on roles/tiers.
It’s ideal for real-world organizations (sports clubs, coworking spaces, training academies) and online businesses (courses, forums, newsletters) that need scalable member lifecycles without custom development.

Experience: The workflow mirrors proven association CRMs—self-service portals, proration rules, grace periods, failed-payment recovery, and renewal reminders—reducing admin time and churn.

✨ Key Features

• Plans & Tiers — free/paid, monthly/annual/lifetime, coupons, trial periods, proration.
• Member Directory — profiles, custom fields, segmentation tags, import/export (CSV).
• Recurring Billing — Stripe/PayPal (gateway-ready), invoices, taxes, refunds, dunning.
• Access Control — role/plan-based permissions for pages, downloads, courses, forums, API.
• Events & Bookings — event calendar, ticket types, member pricing, attendance lists.
• Email & Automations — welcome flows, renewal reminders, failed-payment sequences, templates.
• Teams/Companies — parent accounts with seats/sub-members (B2B memberships).
• Reports & Analytics — MRR, ARR, cohort retention, churn, plan performance.
• Member Portal — profile, invoices, payment methods, plan changes, cancellations.
• Content Monetization — gated posts/files, download limits, drip schedules.
• Localization — multi-language UI, currencies, timezones, RTL support.
• Security — RBAC, CSRF, hashed passwords, 2FA (optional), audit logs.
