Description

Email Confirmation is an addon that adds a validation link to Paid Memberships Pro in the subscription confirmation email, requiring members to confirm their address before accessing restricted content. This step helps those who manage member areas, paid newsletters, courses, or closed communities reduce invalid signups and keep the participant base more reliable and active.

Key Features of Email Confirmation

  • Validation by level
    Allows you to require email confirmation at specific subscription levels.
  • Link in the email
    Attaches the validation URL to the checkout confirmation email.
  • Confirmation resend
    Adds an email template for a new validation request.
  • Manual validation
    Includes a validation action in the Members and All Users screens.
  • Template variable
    Keeps the !!validation_link!! variable in custom email templates.

Benefits of Email Confirmation

  • More controlled access
    Reduces entry into protected content without a confirmed email.
  • More reliable base
    Helps measure real members at free or paid levels.
  • Fewer invalid signups
    Filters incorrect addresses before full participation in the restricted area.
  • More predictable communication
    Increases the chance that future messages reach the confirmed member.

Who Is Email Confirmation Intended For?

  • Anyone maintaining restricted areas with exclusive content and needing to confirm emails before access.
  • Paid newsletter projects that rely on valid signups for email-based relationship building.
  • Communities, courses, and member portals that use Paid Memberships Pro to control subscriptions.

How to Download Email Confirmation

Email Confirmation is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it. Paid Memberships Pro must be installed and active for the addon to work.

When working by subscription level, the extension allows you to apply confirmation only where it makes sense, such as free signups, open communities, or plans with a higher risk of invalid email. Manual control through the admin panel also keeps a clear administrative exit for cases where validation needs to be completed without relying on the automatic flow.
