Paid Memberships Pro Auto-Renewal Checkbox

Description

The Auto-Renewal Checkbox add-on is designed for anyone selling monthly access, private courses, and paid communities in Paid Memberships Pro, with a field in the Membership Checkout that adds an automatic renewal choice to the checkout and level-based configuration for the checked, unchecked, or required option. It helps combine recurring subscriptions and fixed-term access at the same level, keeping checkout clear for members who want to control billing.

Who Is the Auto-Renewal Checkbox For?

How to Download the Auto-Renewal Checkbox

The Auto-Renewal Checkbox is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the package, and activate it. Then, configure the feature in the membership level options.

The Auto-Renewal Checkbox adds a practical layer of choice to the membership flow, without requiring the creation of duplicate levels to separate recurring billing and one-time payment. For sites that sell restricted content, communities, paid newsletters, or courses, the add-on reduces checkout ambiguities and preserves the Paid Memberships Pro expiration logic when automatic renewal is not selected.
