MemberPress Zahlungs-Gateways

When you enable a payment gateway in MemberPress settings, it adds a payment option to your registration pages.

You can offer one or several payment methods, supporting both offline and online payments.

Anmerkung: Each payment method requires its own payment gateway.

Wenn Sie die Option MemberPress shopping cart, the cart checkout uses the same gateways. Each gateway has an Enable for cart option, disabled by default. The cart checkout supports Stripe and offline payments only. PayPal, Square, and Authorize.net work on registration pages only.

Online- vs. Offline-Zahlungen

Offline payments are not collected on your website. Members pay by bank transfer or another method outside the site. When a member chooses an offline payment method, MemberPress creates a transaction and marks it as pending. You update its status manually once the payment arrives in your bank account.

Online payments are processed instantly by payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, or Square. Payment processors act as intermediaries that let merchants charge credit cards. During registration, MemberPress sends the user to a secure payment form provided by the processor. Once the payment completes, MemberPress creates and updates the transaction automatically. It activates or deactivates the subscription based on the payment status.

Payment forms appear either on a separate page or embedded in the registration page. Either way, the payment processor hosts them. Users submit their card details to the processor, never to your website.

Anmerkung: To accept payments, you must configure at least one payment gateway in MemberPress settings.

Verarbeitung von Online-Zahlungen

Online and offline payments follow different processes. Online payments require communication between MemberPress and the connected payment processor.

Das ist wichtig: MemberPress applies a Transaktionsgebühr to all Stripe transactions on the Launch plan.

The process also differs for one-time and recurring subscriptions.

Einmalige Abonnements

For one-time subscriptions, the processor handles the payment in the following steps:

1. On registration, MemberPress sends the membership terms and user data to the processor.
2. The processor collects the card details securely and processes the payment.
3. The processor returns the transaction data to MemberPress.
4. MemberPress uses the received data to create the Transaktion auf Ihrer Website.
5. The one-time subscription becomes active. It expires when the transaction on your website expires.

Anmerkung: MemberPress does not collect or store card details on your website. Payment processors collect card details through their secure payment forms.

Wiederkehrende Abonnements

Recurring subscriptions add a few steps:

1. On registration, MemberPress sends the transaction data and also creates a subscription on the payment processor.
2. The processor collects the payment details, processes the payment, and returns the data to MemberPress.
3. MemberPress creates the transaction and the Abonnement auf Ihrer Website.
4. MemberPress links the transaction to the subscription.
5. The recurring subscription becomes active. When the current transaction expires, the subscription renews.

On renewal dates, the processor charges the user automatically based on the subscription created at registration. When MemberPress receives the renewal data, it adds a new transaction to the existing subscription. The new transaction extends the subscription by one period.

Anmerkung: MemberPress does not initiate renewals. Payment processors renew all subscriptions automatically without further communication with MemberPress.

The processor keeps renewing the subscription until a member or an administrator cancels it in MemberPress. Canceling in MemberPress tells the processor to stop renewals.

Warnung: Deleting subscriptions, transactions, users, or the MemberPress plugin does not cancel recurring subscriptions. You can Abonnements kündigen unter Dashboard > MemberPress > Abonnements.

Verarbeitung von Offline-Zahlungen

Offline payments are simpler to process because no external service is involved. On the other hand, you manage them manually.

The process depends on your offline gateway settings. The Admin muss Transaktionen manuell abschließen option is on the Zahlungen im Reiter Dashboard > MemberPress > Einstellungen. By default, this option is disabled.

With the option disabled, new transactions get the Vollständig status. The subscriptions become active at once.

This means members gain access to protected content before you confirm the payment.

Offline-Zahlungen manuell abschließen

The recommended setup enables the Admin muss Transaktionen manuell abschließen option. New transactions then get the Anhängig status, and their subscriptions stay inactive.

You update the transaction status manually after confirming the payment. When a user chooses the offline payment method, the process includes the following steps:

1. MemberPress creates a transaction with the Anhängig status on your website.
2. For recurring subscriptions, MemberPress also creates the related subscription.
3. You collect the offline payment from the user (for example, by bank transfer). This includes sending a (proforma) invoice if your country requires it.
4. Once the payment arrives, navigate to Dashboard > MemberPress > Vorgänge and find the user’s transaction.
5. Klicken Sie auf die Anhängig status under the Status column to open the dropdown.
6. Change the status to Vollständigund klicken Sie auf Speichern Sie.

As a result, the subscription becomes active, and the user gains access to the protected content.

For recurring subscriptions, MemberPress does not create new transactions on renewals. For each renewal, collect the offline payment first. Then add the new transaction manually to the existing subscription.
