memberpress for clubs
a memberpress alternative that books classes.
MemberPress is great at what it was built for: paywalled content, courses and online communities. A club needs something else. Members join, then book a place in Tuesday’s class, then turn up and check in.
I built Club Manager Pro because the options out there cost a yearly fee and couldn’t be bent to fit how clubs actually run. It does the lot in one plugin.

the fair bit
when memberpress is the right call
If you sell online content, courses or a members’ area, MemberPress does that and Club Manager Pro doesn’t. If you run a club, gym or venue where people book a place and turn up, that’s what Club Manager Pro is for.
questions
the honest answers
Can I move from MemberPress?
Yes. Set up your plans in Club Manager Pro, and members join again on your site and add their card. Saved cards usually can’t move between systems.
Does it use WooCommerce?
Yes. Membership plans and credit packs are WooCommerce products, and recurring payments go through Stripe.
