Simply edit any post or page, locate the RestrictMate meta box, and select which membership levels should have access. Non-members will see your customized restriction message with upgrade options. ### What payment methods are supported? RestrictMate supports Stripe (all major credit/debit cards) and Manual Payments for offline transactions like bank transfers or checks. ### Can I offer free membership tiers? Absolutely! Create membership levels with $0 pricing for free memberships, trial periods, or lead magnets. ### How do I customize the restricted content message? Go to **RestrictMate Settings General** and customize the “Restricted Content Message” that appears to non-members. You can include HTML and upgrade links. ### Can members manage their own accounts? Yes! Members have full control through the member dashboard, where they can view subscription status, payment history, update profiles, and manage their accounts. ### Is the plugin ready for international use? RestrictMate is fully internationalized and translation-ready. It supports 100+ currencies and includes translation files in the `/languages/` directory. ### What happens with refunds? Process refunds through your payment gateway (Stripe dashboard), then update the subscription status in RestrictMate’s admin panel to reflect the change. ### Can I import existing members? Currently, member import is handled manually through the admin dashboard or via frontend registration. Bulk import features may be available in future updates. ### Does it work with my theme? RestrictMate is designed to work with any properly coded WordPress theme. The frontend elements are styled to inherit your theme’s design automatically. ### How do I backup my membership data? Use your standard WordPress backup solution. RestrictMate stores all data in custom database tables that are included in complete WordPress database backups. ### Is there a limit on members or content? No limits! Create unlimited membership levels, accept unlimited members, and restrict unlimited content based on your server resources. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/062265a8ac6d006d3ffd6c57b83d6d65dee9fafaa0d5b0d682b3db1d18a7fdc7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple to setup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-to-setup-7/)󠁿 [Mahbuba Hoque](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kathygraham123/) డిసెంబర్ 4, 2025 1 reply I have recently made a site with this plugin and it helped me to restrict content very easily.
