Pasarelas de pago MemberPress

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.

Nota: Each payment method requires its own payment gateway.

Si activa la función 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.

Pagos en línea frente a pagos fuera de línea

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.

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

Configuración de los métodos de pago

To accept payments, configure a payment method for each gateway:

1. Vaya a Panel de control > MemberPress > Configuración > Pagos ficha.
2. Haga clic en Añadir método de pago en la parte inferior de la página.

3. Nombre el método de pago. Esta etiqueta aparece en las páginas de registro.
4. Choose whether to display the Etiqueta de pago, Iconoo Descripción para este método de pago en las páginas de registro.
5. Seleccione una Pasarela para este método de pago. Para pagos fuera de línea, seleccione Pago fuera de línea y configurar la pasarela de pago offline.

Nota: Esta función está disponible en los planes «Growth» y «Scale» de MemberPress. Si estás suscrito al plan «Launch», puedes actualizar el plan MemberPress para usarlo.

6. For online payments, connect the payment method to a processor. Choose between Stripe, PayPal Pagos completos, Cuadradoy Autorizar.net. The dropdown also offers PayPal Standard (Legacy) for older setups. Each online gateway has its own settings and limitaciones.

Nota: PayPal and Square are available with the MemberPress Growth and Scale plans. If you’re subscribed to the Launch plan, you can actualizar el plan MemberPress to use them.

Nota: Authorize.net is available with the MemberPress Scale plan only. If you’re subscribed to any other plan, you can actualizar el plan MemberPress para usarlo.

7. Haga clic en el botón Opciones de actualización para guardar los cambios.

Nota: As an alternative or an addition to the built-in gateways, you can añadir una pasarela personalizada.

Procesamiento de pagos en línea

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

Importante: MemberPress applies a comisión por transacción to all Stripe transactions on the Launch plan.

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

Suscripciones únicas

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 transacción en su sitio web.
5. The one-time subscription becomes active. It expires when the transaction on your website expires.

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

Suscripciones periódicas

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 suscripción en su sitio web.
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.

Nota: 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.

Advertencia: Deleting subscriptions, transactions, users, or the MemberPress plugin does not cancel recurring subscriptions. You can cancelar suscripciones en Panel de control > MemberPress > Suscripciones.

Procesamiento de pagos sin conexión

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 El administrador debe completar manualmente las transacciones option is on the Pagos en Panel de control > MemberPress > Configuración. By default, this option is disabled.

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

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

Pago manual fuera de línea

The recommended setup enables the El administrador debe completar manualmente las transacciones option. New transactions then get the Pendiente 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 Pendiente 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 Cuadro de mandos > MemberPress > Transacciones and find the user’s transaction.
5. Haga clic en el botón Pendiente status under the Estado column to open the dropdown.
6. Change the status to Completey haga clic en Guardar.

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.
