About this plugin
Paid Memberships Pro – Downloads is a handy add-on for site owners who sell or restrict downloadable files based on membership level.
It integrates directly with Paid Memberships Pro, letting you gate PDFs, ZIPs, audio files, and more so that only paying members can access them. Compatible with WordPress’s native media library, it keeps your content protected without any fuss. Perfect for course creators, digital publishers, and software vendors who want a reliable way to manage member-only downloads.
