1. 📦 Automating Membership Registrations (Example)

To make the MemberPress REST API easier to grasp, let’s explore some examples and metaphors that show how developers use the API in practical, real-world scenarios. These analogies will help paint a clear picture of how the API can be applied.

Example: Imagine you are running an online coding bootcamp, and you’re using MemberPress to manage student memberships. Every time a student signs up through an external landing page (built with a custom web app), you want their information to automatically be added to your WordPress site without requiring any manual work.

How it works:

  • When a student completes their registration on the external page, a POST request is sent to the MemberPress API.
  • The API creates a new member in your WordPress site, assigns the user to the correct membership plan, and sends them a welcome email.

Metaphor: Think of the API as a virtual secretary. Whenever a new person walks into the office (the custom web app), the secretary immediately fills out the registration form on your WordPress site, submits it, and welcomes the new member without you needing to do anything.
