πŸ“Š 5. Custom Reporting Dashboards

Advanced users often need custom reports and dashboards that go beyond the default MemberPress reporting. By combining MemberPress API data with a visualization tool like Google Data Studio or Tableau, you can create live dashboards that display membership trends, revenue data, and more.

Example: Visualizing Member Growth in Google Data Studio

Steps:

  1. Pull Data from MemberPress API:
    • Create a scheduled script that pulls membership data from the API and sends it to Google Sheets: GET https://your-site.com/wp-json/mp/v1/members
  2. Connect Google Sheets to Data Studio:
    • Import the Google Sheets data into Google Data Studio to create custom reports and charts.
  3. Create Dashboards:
    • Build interactive charts to display metrics like monthly active members, new subscriptions, churn rate, and lifetime value (LTV).

This approach gives you a visual, at-a-glance view of your membership site’s performance without needing to manually download data.
