Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with a different e-commerce plugin than WooCommerce?

Nope.

Will this work with a different membership plugin than Patreon?

Nope.

Can I use [blank] custom checkout plugin?

Maybe. It depends on how that checkout plugin integrates with WooCommerce. Test it and find out. The only checkout I'm sure it works with is the standard WooCommerce checkout.

I want this to do something that it doesn't do.

First of all, that's not a question. Second of all, it's open source: you can make it do whatever you want. If you make it do something cool, and you want to share with the rest of the class, let me know on github.

Do you offer support?

Nope. You're on your own, friend.

Screenshots

Plugin settings (all optional) to configure once you install. The "Product Category Slug" is the category of your shop that's for Patreon members only.

Plugin Settings

If someone adds a members-only product to the shopping cart (and isn't logged in with Patreon), they'll get this warning (output is standard WooCommerce notice, styled by whatever theme you're using).

Cart Error

If they try to check out, WooCommerce will show this error instead of the checkout steps, and prevent them from continuing.
