MemberPress Gifting is an official MemberPress add-on that allows your customers to purchase memberships as gifts for friends, family, or colleagues. If you run a membership site, an online course, or a paid community, this extension opens up a whole new sales channel by turning your subscription products into attractive gifts for any occasion.
It works simply and intuitively. Once you activate the add-on, you can enable the gift option on any of your memberships from each product's settings. When a customer makes a purchase, they can check the gift box, enter the recipient's name, email address, and a personalized message. The system automatically generates a unique redemption link that is sent to the recipient via email, who only needs to click the link and complete the standard registration form to activate their membership at no extra cost.
Key features include automatic email notifications that inform the recipient about their gift, as well as expiration reminders for the gifted membership—a crucial tool for retaining new members once the gift period ends. Additionally, the buyer has a giver account from which they can copy the gift link, resend the email, and check at any time whether the recipient has redeemed their membership.
The add-on integrates natively with MemberPress, leveraging its access rules, coupons, and payment gateways. It also supports recurring memberships, although in that case, the gift covers only the first billing cycle. Administrators can monitor all gift transactions from the dashboard, with specific filters to distinguish between purchased and redeemed gifts.
MemberPress Gifting is ideal for holiday campaigns, product launches, special promotions, and referral strategies. It allows you to expand your audience, increase sales, and create a memorable experience for your users, all with minimal setup and fully automated management.
