Membership Integrations

The Membership Integrations add-on connects your WordPress membership site with SMS notifications. Automatically send text messages when members sign up, renew, cancel, or when their membership is about to expire.

Why SMS for Memberships?

Email notifications can get lost in crowded inboxes. SMS ensures your members stay informed:
