[Plans and access](#plans) [Restrict and protect](#restrict) [Perks](#perks) [Recurring billing](#billing) [Members and community](#members) [Operations](#ops) Plans and access ## Decide who gets in, *and for how long*. ### Plans and memberships A plan holds the rules and perks. Change it once and every membership on it follows. ### Many ways to join Grant access by purchasing a product, registering an account, or a manual add by staff. ### Variation mapping Map each variation of a variable product to a different plan, including recurring variations. ### Flexible length Never expire, run between fixed dates, last a set period, or stay active as long as billing does. ### Cumulative purchases Let a quantity of two buy two periods, so members can prepay ahead. ### Setup wizard Pick a business model, set restriction mode, and create your first plan in a few clicks. Restrict and protect ## Members-only, *without the guesswork*. ### Content restriction Restrict posts, pages, custom post types, categories, and tags. Specific rules override broad ones. ### Three paywall modes Show a paywall with an excerpt, redirect to a page, or hide restricted content completely. ### Content dripping Unlock content days or weeks after someone joins, and decide whether free trials count. ### Product restriction Hide products from non-members, or show them but let only members buy. ### Blocks and shortcodes Show or hide parts of a page for members and non-members, in the block editor or a page builder. ### Force public Exempt individual posts or products from broader rules when you need to. Perks ## Give members a reason *to stay*. ### Member discounts Fixed or percentage discounts on the catalog, categories, or products. Discounts from several plans stack. ### Free shipping for members Make any free shipping rate require an active membership in chosen plans. ### Members area Add My Account sections that list each plan’s perks, profile fields, and billing. ### Instant discounts Optionally apply member pricing as soon as a membership is in the cart. Recurring billing ## Renewals built in, *no second plugin*. ### Recurring products Simple and variable recurring billing product types with automatic renewals. ### Free trials Offer trials and choose which perks wait until the trial ends. ### Early renewal and synced dates Let members renew early, or bill everyone on the same day of the month. ### Works with WooCommerce Subscriptions If Subscriptions is active, Constellation uses it, including its upgrades and downgrades. Members and community ## Know your members, *let them know each other*. ### Members list Filter by plan, status, or profile field, add members by hand, and leave notes they can see. ### Profile fields Define fields per plan, file uploads included, collected at purchase and editable later. ### Member directory Build a directory from blocks: name, avatar, organization, plans, biography, and more. ### Community plugins Pair with bbPress for members-only forums, or your favorite community plugin. Operations ## The boring parts, *handled*. ### Member emails Ending soon, ended, renewal reminder, delayed activation, and note emails, written per plan. ### Import and export Export members to CSV, edit in a spreadsheet, and import to create or update memberships. ### Grant access retroactively Create memberships from past orders or subscriptions when you launch a new plan. ### REST API Endpoints for members, memberships, plans, rules, content, and profile fields. ### Privacy tools Membership and billing records are included in personal data export requests. ### Migration from WooCommerce Memberships Plans, members, and rules come across when you activate Constellation. Integrations ## Plays well with *your stack*. Constellation includes integrations for the plugins membership sites lean on most.

[Account Funds](/product/account-funds-for-woocommerce/) ### API Manager Selling software? Constellation memberships can drive license status for subscription products. [API Manager](/product/api-manager-for-woocommerce/) ### Built for modern WooCommerce Supports High-Performance Order Storage and the cart and checkout blocks. Good to know ## Plan around these *before you build*. A few deliberate design choices, so nothing surprises you after launch. Every membership belongs to a customer account, so checkout requires registration when a membership is in the cart. A membership belongs to one person. Team or group memberships with shared seats aren’t supported today. Self-service plan upgrades and downgrades use WooCommerce Subscriptions for now; native switching is planned for Advanced. Member directory pages are visible to anyone who can view the page. Restrict the page if the directory should be members-only. Ready when you are ## Start with *Premium*. Billed annually. Every license includes the plugin download, every update, and support from the team that builds it.
