PMPRO Proration Addon

PMPRO Proration Addon is an extension designed for websites that use Paid Memberships Pro (PMPRO) and need to easily manage membership level upgrades and downgrades with automatic proration. This addon solves one of the most common problems on subscription sites: correctly adjusting the initial payment when a member changes plans mid-billing cycle.

When a member decides to upgrade to a higher level, the addon calculates the corresponding proration and adjusts the initial payment so that the member only pays the proportional difference between what has already been paid and the new level. This eliminates the friction of having to wait for the current cycle to end or paying the full cost of the new plan immediately. On the other hand, when a member chooses to downgrade, the initial payment is set to $0 and the downgrade is performed immediately to the newly selected level, keeping the existing recurring payment date unchanged.

The member's recurring payment date is preserved intact in both scenarios, meaning the billing cycle is neither restarted nor interrupted. When the next recurring payment comes due, the member will be charged the rate corresponding to the new level, thus maintaining a predictable and transparent billing experience.

This addon is aimed at membership site owners, online course creators, subscriber communities, and any business that manages recurring payment plans with Paid Memberships Pro. Its main benefit is automating a process that would otherwise require manual intervention or leave members without flexible options to change plans.

With PMPRO Proration Addon, administrators can offer their members the freedom to adapt their subscription to their changing needs, without administrative complications or manual calculations. The result is greater member satisfaction, fewer support requests related to plan changes, and more predictable revenue management for the business.
