Extensions
On this page you will find a range of plugins that complement and extend your membership-based site. Some are stand-alone and others require Meta Membership to function.
Meta Membership core handles everything most organisations need to run their membership year. Extensions are optional — they add specialised capability for organisations that want it.
Most are free. Some are premium, which is simply how the project stays sustainable: a fair, optional way to support a free core and fund continued development and support.
