API

If you are developing a plugin or a theme for WordPress, you may be interested in the DigiMember API.

As an experienced PHP programmer, you can use the DigiMember API to connect your software to DigiMember.

With the DigiMember API, your software can:

  • retrieve the products created in DigiMember
  • Access a user's list of products and orders.
  • Activate its own functions for DigiMember product purchasers only.
  • check itself whether a page or post is unlocked for a user.
  • perform actions when a payment for a product is received, a payment is cancelled or (for subscriptions) is missing.
  • Enhance DigiMember products with custom features that allow you to easily control access to various functions of your software, for example. On the DigiMember - Products page, the user of your software enters the values for the properties. When your software retrieves a product, the record contains these values.

Important: No support available

We cannot provide support for using the API. In particular, we cannot answer questions about understanding or using the API. To use the API, found PHP programming knowledge is required.

If you have little experience in programming, it is better to hire a specialist, as programming errors can jeopardize the security of your customers' data.

Documentation

The current version of the DigiMember API is: 3
