Pay What You Want (Variable Pricing)

Using the Pay What You Want add-on for Paid Member Subscription you can let your subscribers set the price they want to pay for a subscription plan.

The subscription standard price will be used as the recommended price and you can also set a minimum and maximum amount.

Pay What You Want is a Basic add-on, available with a Paid Member Subscriptions Basic or Pro license only.

How to use the add-on

After activating the add-on, simply create a new subscription plan by navigating to Paid Member Subscriptions > Subscription Plans and clicking “Add New” button.

Here under the subscription plan details, you’ll notice a checkbox from where you can “Enable Pay What You Pricing“. By checking it you will be shown a few settings for the variable pricing option:

  • Minimum Price – the min price allowed for this subscription plan, leaving it empty will set the min price equal to the standard subscription price
  • Maximum Price – the maximum price allowed for this subscription, leaving it empty will imply no max price is set
  • Label – text that will be displayed on the front-end, after the subscription plan name and before the price input
The standard price set for the subscription will be used as the recommended price. You can use the “Description” field to let your users know the minimum or maximum amount allowed.
