Introduction
Unlock powerful, revenue-generating experiences by integrating your favorite WordPress membership solutions with the BuddyBoss App. Whether you’re selling courses, gated content, or tiered memberships, BuddyBoss App supports seamless in-app purchasing and access restrictions across a wide range of plugins. This guide shows how to configure membership plugins in your BuddyBoss App.
In-App Purchases for Courses & Memberships
Allow your learners to buy directly inside the mobile app using Apple’s and Google’s native payment flows. The following plugins can be mapped to in-app products so members can purchase memberships and LearnDash courses without ever leaving the app:
- LearnDash LMS
- Memberium
- MemberPress
- Paid Memberships Pro
- Restrict Content Pro
- S2Member
- WishList Member
- WooCommerce Memberships
Restricting Content via Access Controls
Fine-grained access control keeps premium content behind the right paywalls. BuddyBoss App automatically respects the rules you set in BuddyBoss Platform Pro’s Member Access Controls feature. Out of the box, the app applies restrictions for these plugins:
- LearnDash LMS
- Memberium
- MemberPress
- Paid Memberships Pro
- Restrict Content Pro
- S2Member
- WishList Member
- WooCommerce Memberships
When you configure Access Controls in the WordPress admin, those same rules govern who can view messages, groups, activities, courses, and more in the mobile app.
Granting Course Enrollment via Membership Plugins
Automate course enrollment in LearnDash based on membership status. If you use any of these plugins to auto-enroll users into courses on your website, the BuddyBoss App will mirror that behavior. Only users with the correct membership will see and access the corresponding courses in the app:
- LearnDash LMS
- Memberium
- MemberPress
- Paid Memberships Pro
- Restrict Content Pro
- S2Member
- WishList Member
- WooCommerce Memberships
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: My membership restrictions aren’t syncing to the app. What should I check?
A: Ensure that the Member Access Controls feature is enabled in BuddyBoss Platform Pro and that your rules are published. Refresh your app data afterward.
Q: Can users upgrade or purchase memberships directly from the app?
A: Yes. Set up in-app purchases under the BuddyBoss App settings and map them to your WordPress membership levels or LearnDash courses.
Q: Why can some users still see restricted content?
A: Verify that the user’s membership level is correctly assigned in WordPress. Also, clear the app cache or rebuild the app to ensure updated access rules apply.
Q: Which plugins support both access control and in-app purchases?
A: Plugins such as MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, and WooCommerce Memberships support both functionalities seamlessly in BuddyBoss App.
