Add payments to Ultimate Member.
Ultimate Member runs your members, roles, and profiles — but it can’t take a payment. This extension connects Paddle, so paying upgrades a member’s role automatically, and stopping ends it.
A free Subscriber pays, and Ultimate Member moves them into the Member role on its own. Cancel, and it drops back.
Three steps. That’s it.
Map a role to a price
Pick an Ultimate Member role and set its price. That role is what the payment unlocks.
They pay with Paddle
A Paddle checkout opens right on your page. Card or PayPal, no leaving your site.
Their role updates
Ultimate Member grants the role on payment, and removes it when they cancel or a charge fails.
New things Ultimate Member can do.
Gate the whole site
Require a paid plan before an Ultimate Member account goes active. No payment, no access.
Upgrade between roles
Let a free Ultimate Member role pay to move up to a paid one and unlock more of your content.
Monthly or one-time
Bill a recurring Paddle subscription, or take a single one-time payment — whatever the role is worth.
Members manage themselves
People change or cancel their plan from their own account, and their Ultimate Member role follows along.
Ultimate Member sites people pay to be part of.
Dating & community sites
Anyone joins free, but they pay each month before they can message or open full profiles.
Online courses
Students pay once or subscribe and land in the right course role on their own — no manual upgrades.
Paid newsletters & blogs
Lock your best posts, videos, and downloads behind a membership. Casual readers still get the rest.
Private communities
Run a paid group or mastermind where only members reach the forum, calls, and shared files.
Coaching & fitness
Clients subscribe to unlock plans and check-ins, and keep their access for as long as they pay.
Directories & job boards
Charge for full access to listings, or let businesses pay to get themselves listed.
No tax paperwork for you
Paddle is the official seller, so it collects and pays the sales tax and VAT for you — anywhere in the world. You just get paid.
Start charging for membership.
Install it next to Ultimate Member, map a role to a Paddle price, and drop a checkout button on a page. That’s all it takes to get paid.
