Create A Membership Site…
Today!
Suma is a plugin that’s purpose-built for Wordpress and designed for running Membership sites. Suma provides the three functions necessary for a Membership site.
- User Registration
Suma guides new Users through a four-step registration process hosted within your Wordpress-powered site.
- Recurring Billing
Subscribers are billed automatically according to the schedule you define in the subscription. Unsuccessful billing attempts are re-tried automatically. Subscribers who don’t maintain an active subscription are automatically denied access to the restricted content.
- Content Access Control
You choose the privacy level a Post or Page is to have and Suma will determine which visitors and subscribers may view it.
Suma includes features you expect to see in a quality Membership site, including:
- Registration Process is hosted within your site. Usability tests show that conversion rates (i.e. the rate at which visitors become subscribers) are greater when users stay within the site to complete their purchase, compared to when they are taken to a different site to complete the transaction. Suma will allow your users to sign-up without leaving your site.
- Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex and PayPal accepted. Many users online are reluctant to share their credit card information with a website or business they don’t know. For these users, Suma provides the PayPal Express Checkout method so they can subscribe using their PayPal account. Then there are those users who do not have and do not want a PayPal account. For these users, Suma offers the regular credit card payment method. Suma allows your site to accommodate both types of users making it easy for everyone to subscribe.
- Secured sign-up pages. Suma uses the HTTPS protocol to protect credit card numbers and other sensitive user information while in transit. Using HTTPS shows your visitors that your business is active in protecting their privacy. This also displays your site’s SSL certificate which is critical for many users who will not make a purchase from a site that does not exhibit an SSL certificate.
- Off-site storage of payment details. By design, Suma keeps the highly confidential payment information (such as credit card numbers) used in recurring billing out of Wordpress’ database. There is simply too much unnecessary risk and liability for your business in keeping this information on your webserver, not to mention that its forbidden by the Credit Card Processing companies. Instead Suma keeps this data secured within a one-way vault within your merchant account on PayPal. This design protects your business and gives you peace of mind.
- Customizable GUI. Suma’s dynamic forms presented to visitors and users are styled using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). This enables you to alter the fonts, colors, sizes and other attributes of the forms to better suit your site’s theme. Thus Suma’s appearance in your site can be customized to your design.
- Flexible Subscription Plans. Suma allows you to create many different types of Subscription Plans. Subscription Plans can be for a fixed, limited period (e.g. 12 months) or indefinitely (until canceled). Subscription Plans can be based on cycle lengths of days, weeks, months or years, and of any frequency (e.g. every 3 months). There can be one-off fees to be charged once at the start of a subscription. There can also be introductory periods where the subscription fee is reduced for a certain number of cycles or even eliminated resulting in a free trial period. This flexibility allows you to offer a choice to your subscribers so they may choose a plan that suits them.
- Content Classes for even greater Access Control. Suma allows you to define an unlimited number of content classes which can be used for more selective access control to the content. You could, for example, create classes which hold different degrees of the sites content and then associate these classes with different Subscription Plans, so as to create Gold-level, Silver-level and Bronze-level access subscriptions for instance.
Other membership systems exist for building Membership sites, but few include all these features:
- Tight Wordpress Integration. Suma was built right from the start to be a part of Wordpress and extend its existing functionality in ways that are natural to your visitors.

- Responsive Technical Support. Suma is actively supported and updates readily available. Suma’s feature set is also being added to steadily as we receive suggestions from our user base.
- Perpetual License. Production licenses purchased for Suma never expire.
- No limit to the number of users. The number of subscribers your site may register and number of subscription plans you may offer is unlimited.
