Simplify Freemius Checkout Integration with the New WordPress Plugin

We are officially releasing today the Freemius for WordPress plugin — built specifically to simplify how you integrate the Freemius Checkout and other components into your website. Watch the short video below to explore the features.

If you’re selling your WordPress product with Freemius, then besides the built-in WP SDK Checkout, we’ve always recommended embedding a pricing page on your own marketing website using the Freemius Checkout JS SDK. However, this required writing and maintaining the integration code manually.

With the Freemius for WordPress plugin, you no longer have to. If your theme supports blocks, you can turn any button into a Freemius Checkout button and configure all available options right from the editor. You can also integrate Freemius Checkout with any pricing table or layout pattern that comes with your theme.

To make this even easier for our makers, we’ve added a new step in the Setup Checklist inside the Developer Dashboard that explains the plugin’s role and how it fits into your setup.

Additionally, you’ll now find instructions for using the plugin inside the Get Checkout Code dialog accessible from the Plans page.

You can learn more in our documentation.

Even if your product itself isn’t built on WordPress, as long as your marketing site runs on WordPress, you can use this plugin to easily integrate Freemius Checkout and other components.

We’re just getting started with this plugin. In upcoming releases, we plan to introduce more features such as embedding the Customer Portal, providing SSO login options, and unifying all these capabilities into a single, robust plugin for WordPress makers.
