Description
HopMembers for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store to HopMembers so a paid order can automatically unlock (and a refund can revoke) Discord, Telegram, or WhatsApp community access.
Keep WooCommerce as checkout. Do not take orders inside Discord. Do not paste invite links after every sale. Map a product or variation once; when the order is Processing or Completed, the buyer gets access. Cancelled or refunded orders can pull that access back.
This plugin is a free connector. It does not process payments. HopMembers is the membership and community-access layer (Discord membership, Telegram VIP / group, or WhatsApp group and private access).
Features
- WooCommerce Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp membership unlock after purchase
- One-time connect code — no WooCommerce REST keys to copy by hand
- Product and variation mapping to one or more community channels
- Automatic access when an order is paid (Processing or Completed)
- Automatic revoke on cancelled or refunded orders
- Buyer access email from HopMembers (join instructions / magic link)
- Works with simple and variable products
- Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and cart/checkout blocks
- Disconnect or uninstall removes HopMembers webhooks and store credentials
Who this is for
- Creators selling paid Discord servers or roles from a WooCommerce store
- Telegram channel or group memberships sold as WooCommerce products
- WhatsApp community or private access bundled with a WooCommerce SKU
- Course, cohort, and VIP offers that already use WordPress + WooCommerce checkout
What this plugin does
- Connects your WooCommerce store to your HopMembers account with a one-time connect code
- Registers WooCommerce webhooks so paid and refunded orders are sent to HopMembers
- Lets HopMembers list your products so you can map them to community channels
- Removes the connection and webhooks when you disconnect or uninstall the plugin
External service
This plugin requires a HopMembers account. Connecting the plugin sends data from your WordPress site to HopMembers so access can be provisioned after purchase.
When you click Connect, the plugin sends your connect code, site URL, and site name to HopMembers over HTTPS (https://hopmembers.com/api/apps/woocommerce/plugin/connect).
After you connect, WooCommerce delivers order webhooks (create, update, delete, and status changes such as processing, completed, cancelled, and refunded) to HopMembers (https://hopmembers.com/api/webhooks/woocommerce). HopMembers also requests your product catalog from this site using a store-specific access token.
A HopMembers account is required. HopMembers is a paid service for creators; see pricing on the HopMembers site. All plugin code in this directory is available under GPLv2 or later.

Data sent to HopMembers
- Site URL and site name, used to identify the store
- The one-time connect code you paste from HopMembers
- WooCommerce order payloads via webhooks (order id, status, line items, customer fields WooCommerce includes in webhooks)
- Product id, name, status, and variation details when HopMembers loads your catalog
No data is sent until a store administrator with WooCommerce management capability connects the plugin. Disconnecting or uninstalling the plugin stops webhooks and tells HopMembers to drop the store connection.

FAQ
-
Can I sell Discord access with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. Connect the store, map a WooCommerce product (or variation) to a Discord channel in HopMembers, and paid orders unlock access automatically.
-
Does this work for Telegram and WhatsApp too?
-
Yes. The same mapping flow supports Telegram channels/groups and WhatsApp group or private access — not Discord only.
-
Do customers order from Discord?
-
No. Customers pay on your WooCommerce checkout. HopMembers only grants community access after the order is paid.
-
Can I map product variations?
-
Yes. Map the whole product or a specific variation so different SKUs can unlock different communities.
-
What happens if I refund an order?
-
HopMembers can revoke the mapped Discord, Telegram, or WhatsApp access when WooCommerce reports the order as cancelled or refunded.
-
Do I need a HopMembers account?
-
Yes. This plugin only connects WooCommerce to HopMembers. Create an account at hopmembers.com first.
-
What data leaves my WordPress site?
-
After you connect, HopMembers receives your site URL, site name, product catalog, and WooCommerce order webhook payloads so it can grant or revoke community access. See the Description section and the HopMembers Privacy Policy.
-
Can I change the HopMembers server URL?
-
No. There is no setting for this, and the plugin always talks to https://hopmembers.com. Developers running HopMembers locally can override the origin with the
hopmembers_for_woocommerce_api_basefilter. Overrides must use HTTPS unless thehopmembers_for_woocommerce_allow_urlfilter also explicitly permits the URL, which exists only for local development. -
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Deactivating the plugin does not disconnect your store. Use the Disconnect button on WooCommerce HopMembers, or uninstall the plugin, to remove webhooks and credentials.
-
Does this work with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?
-
Yes. The plugin uses WooCommerce APIs and webhooks rather than direct order post meta.
-
Where do I get support?
-
Support is provided through HopMembers. Email info@hopmembers.com or use the contact options on hopmembers.com.
