Your business is already pretty famous and you want to create a system for your members, a system which will help you make them even more confident in your services or products. In order to make your clients even more loyal to you, you will need the WooCommerce Memberships plugin.
How to get this plugin?
By choosing to use this plugin, you simplify your work and create an amazing customer experience. Simply get it from the EffectIO dashboard and activate it. Then go to WooCommerce → Settings and start customizing your perfect ecommerce shop.
Here you have 3 options: General, Products and Messages. If you choose the General option, you can set how the whole site will use these options. For example, the Content Restriction Mode has 3 options: hide content only, redirect to a specific page if they click on restricted content, and hide completely.
Show excerpts
If you want to show excerpts to your users about what the restricted content is about, you can do that by simply checking the box. Be aware that search engines will also get access to that content. There are 2 main reasons to do this: you make your users curious about that content or product and they may want to purchase to see more; and search engines may rank your restricted content if they see an excerpt, potentially bringing in new visitors.
Hierarchical positions
If you have many pages, this option can be very useful. For example, if you have an SEO page and you create child pages under it, those child pages will not be accessible unless a membership is active. In other words, they inherit the parent page’s restrictions.
Redirection
When your users log in, you can redirect them to a starting point that fits your business. WooCommerce Memberships offers 3 options: No Redirect (nothing happens), Members Area (recommended if you have one), or a specific Site Page built for your customers.
Note that if the user does not have the right membership that triggers this page, nothing will happen.
Privacy
The Privacy option allows users to delete all their data when they no longer want to be a premium member. Privacy and data protection is important, so make sure your site is compliant with current requirements.
To sum up
The WooCommerce Memberships plugin is ideal if you want to make your customers curious about what you have to offer while generating revenue at the same time. Avoid restricting too much content, otherwise visitors won’t understand what your site is about and may lose interest. Use it wisely and enjoy all the benefits it brings to your brand. Start now!
