SureCart recently announced its new membership plugin sureMembers which is a Brand new addition to surecart ecosystem. Suremembers is a very light and really simple membership plugin that is best for content restriction and selling digital products and services.
Previously Membership market is dominated by well-developed and very dynamic membership plugins like memberpress, paid membership pro, easy digital download,wooCommerce Memberships, and MemberMouse. SureMembers is still in very early stages and gives request updates, The reason this plugin catches my attention is its simplicity, ease of integration, and setup.
Type the name of Access Group (Name of Membership Level)
You can also exclude the pages, posts or taxonomies as well. Inside protected content, all post types will be available.
SureMembers does offer drip content like any other membership or content restriction plugin but this drip content is far better than memberpress or LearnDash I used in the past with only one difference, Inside memberpress or learndash you can choose the day of drip but can not choose the exact time of the drip but with sureMembers you can do that.
An unauthorized access message will be displayed to those members which will not have an access to the current access group. we have two options for such guests on our site.

Access groups in SureMembers are actually the membership and work exactly the same way you do in the memberpress. Inside Access you can add members and can give them access based on their access group.

Access Group Priority and User Role sync in SureMembers
Priority is important when users have more than one access group, If your content is restricted for one Access Group but not the other, the higher priority will prevail. User sync role is important if you have multiple user roles on your website, for some members the role can be student but for some that can be a teacher.
