πŸ§ͺ Tests and Simulations: Creating Custom API Endpoints, Testing OAuth Workflows, and Advanced Payment Automations

3. πŸ›Ž Handling Subscription Changes Automatically (Example)

Example: Let’s say you run a fitness membership site with several subscription plans. A member decides to upgrade from the basic plan to the premium plan. You want this upgrade to trigger immediate changes, such as unlocking advanced workout programs, without you needing to intervene.

How it works:

  • When the user upgrades their plan, a PUT request is made to the MemberPress API to update their subscription status.
  • This change in membership level could also trigger automated workflows via the API to grant access to premium content (e.g., access to an advanced workout section on your site).

Metaphor: Think of the API like a gym employee with access to a special key. As soon as a member upgrades their membership, the employee (API) gets a notification and immediately unlocks the door to the VIP section of the gym without you having to lift a finger.
