Paid Memberships Pro Gift Levels Addon GPL v1.1

Paid Memberships Pro Gift Levels Addon GPL Overview

The Gift Levels Addon for Paid Memberships Pro (PMPro) allows users to purchase a gift membership for others, making it easy to gift a membership level on your site. The addon generates a unique gift code that the recipient can use to claim their membership, providing a flexible and personalized gifting option.

Key Features

1. Gift Memberships:
   • Users can purchase a gift membership for someone else. The recipient can redeem the gift by using a unique code generated for them.
2. Customizable Gift Codes:
   • After a user purchases a gift membership, a customized gift code is generated. This code can be redeemed by the recipient for a free membership.
3. Expiration Date:
   • The gift code can be configured to have an expiration date, ensuring that the recipient must claim their membership within a certain timeframe.
4. No Membership for Purchasers:
   • Users who purchase gift memberships are not assigned any membership level on your site. They only purchase the gift code, which can be redeemed by the recipient.
5. Purchase History and Gift Code Management:
   • Gift purchasers can log in and view their purchase history, including the gift codes they’ve bought, the available codes, and any claimed codes.
6. Multiple Gift Purchases:
   • Users can purchase as many gift codes as they want, though each gift code must be purchased separately (i.e., multiple gift codes cannot be bought in a single checkout).

How It Works

1. Gift Level Setup:
   • The site admin creates a Gift Level in the Paid Memberships Pro settings. This level is configured to allow gifting and can include options like the expiration date for the gift code.
2. Purchasing a Gift Membership:
   • A user purchases a gift membership by completing the checkout process for a Gift Level. After checkout, a unique gift code is generated.
3. Claiming the Gift Membership:
   • The recipient of the gift can use the gift code to claim their membership. Once claimed, they will be granted the membership level associated with the gift code.
4. Gift Code Management:
   • The gift purchaser can log in to their account to track the gift codes they’ve purchased, see which ones are still available, and view which codes have been claimed.
5. Gift Expiration:
   • If configured, the gift code will have an expiration date, ensuring that the recipient must redeem the code before it expires.
