Using Paid Member Subscriptions with Tutor LMS

In order to use Paid Member Subscriptions with Tutor LMS you’ll need to have the following plugins installed and activated on your site:

• Tutor LMS – version 2.7.0 or higher
• Paid Member Subscriptions – version v 2.12.0 or higher

Activate the Integration

Once you activate Tutor LMS and Paid Member Subscriptions, the next step is to configure Paid Member Subscriptions as your eCommerce Engine in Tutor LMS. Simply navigate to Tutor LMS → Settings → Monetization to get started.

Sell access to Courses

In the Courses Settings, the “Public Course” option enables open enrollment, granting access to anyone with the course link, without requiring login or account creation. To restrict access solely to users who purchase a subscription plan, it’s advisable to deactivate this option.

Tutor LMS Integration Settings

After you configure Paid Member Subscriptions as your eCommerce Engine you will notice a new tab in Paid Member Subscriptions → Settings page called Tutor LMS.

Restriction Type

For your Tutor LMS courses, you’ll have the option to apply 3 types of restrictions:

• Full Courses Restriction
• Category Restriction
• Individual Restriction

Full Courses Restriction

You have 2 options here:

1. Allow any member to access courses

• To access and enroll in courses, users need to be logged in and a member of any Subscription Plan.

2. Allow members of the selected Subscription Plans to access courses

• Selecting this option enables the Subscription Plans setting, where you can choose one or more PMS Subscription Plans.
• To access and enroll in courses, users need to be logged in and a member of any of the selected Subscription Plans.

Category Restriction

• When this option is active, access will be granted based on the category the course is in.
• A new option, TutorLMS Categories, will be available on the Subscription Plan settings.

• Choose one or more categories (previously created in TutorLMS Settings).
• Users subscribed to this Subscription Plan will have access to and can enroll in any course within the selected categories.

The Course Lessons will be visible but can be accessed only if the user is Subscribed to a Subscription Plan that grants access to the course category.

Individual Restriction

• Automatically enroll users to Courses when a membership is created, updated or changed.
• Tutor LMS Courses will be accessible based on the options selected in the Paid Member Subscriptions Content Restriction metabox, on the Course edit page.

• Set the Type Of Restriction to ‘Message’, you do not need to set any message because the PMS restriction message will not be shown.

  • If any of the Subscription Plans is selected: Users must be subscribed to at least one of the chosen plans.”
