Description

The Pay by Check allows you to set up check payments for those selling subscriptions and restricted areas in Paid Memberships Pro, adding an offline payment option to the checkout and keeping the subscription pending until manual confirmation. With this, courses, clubs, and communities can accept sign-ups outside of online gateways, with payment instructions shown in the sign-up flow and administrative control over access release.

How to Download Pay by Check

The Pay by Check is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the package, and activate it in WordPress. Then, configure the method according to the Paid Memberships Pro flow.

Pay by Check addresses a common need on membership sites: accepting payments that don’t go through card, digital wallet, or an automatic gateway. By fitting the check into the Paid Memberships Pro checkout, the add-on keeps the sign-up process organized, without granting access before the financial validation performed by the responsible team.
