How to Integrate SureCart with SureMembers
You can connect SureCart and SureMembers to automatically give buyers access to protected content when they purchase a product. This setup is great for selling digital products, courses, subscriptions, or memberships with no manual steps required.
What is SureCart?
SureCart is an eCommerce and checkout plugin for WordPress. You can use it to:
- Sell one-time digital products or downloads
- Offer recurring subscriptions
- Manage memberships, course sales, and gated content
- Automate emails, licenses, and lead capture
SureCart works with other tools like LearnDash, Bunny.net, and SureMembers, and lets you customize pricing, product types, and purchase flows.

How to Connect SureCart with SureMembers
1. Create Your Access Group
Before setting up the integration, make sure you’ve already created an access group in SureMembers.
Follow this guide: How to Create Access Groups
2. Create a Product in SureCart
Set up your product as usual inside SureCart → Products → Add New.

You can add a name, description, price, and download files (if needed).
3. Add the SureMembers Integration
While editing your product in SureCart:
- Go to the Integrations tab
- Click “Add Integration”
- Select SureMembers
- Choose the Access Group that buyers should be added to
Now, when someone purchases the product, they’ll automatically be added to that access group and gain access to the protected content. At the same time, when the purchase is revoked or the subscription is expired in SureCart, their access will also be revoked on the Access Group and its associated content.
Optional: User Role Sync
By default, all buyers are assigned the SureCart user role. But you can take it further by:
- Creating custom roles in SureMembers → Settings → Create User Role
- Syncing those roles to specific access groups
- Using roles with other plugins or conditional display settings
This gives you more control over how users interact with other parts of your site.
Optional: Customize SureMembers Email Templates
SureMembers can send automatic emails when users are added to an access group. Go to SureMembers → Settings → Email to customize:
- From Name – e.g. “Your Site Name” or “Membership Team”
- From Email – the email address used to send notifications
- Password Reset Email – sent when users need to set their login password
- New User Onboarding Email – sent to brand new users added to the site
- Access Granted Email – sent when a user is added to an access group
You can include login links, welcome messages, and instructions for accessing restricted content.
You’re All Set
Once your product is connected to an access group, SureMembers will handle everything: content access, email notifications, and optional role assignments automatically.
If you need to change access rules later, you can update the group in SureMembers or the product in SureCart.
