Um-Switcher – Sell subscriptions for Ultimate Member powered by WooCommerce
The Um-Switcher – Sell subscriptions for Ultimate Member powered by WooCommerce premium plugin connects Ultimate Member’s role-based memberships with WooCommerce products so you can sell time-limited access plans without coding. Create plans with flexible durations (days, hours, even minutes), assign user roles on purchase, and automatically switch roles back on expiry—complete with email reminders to encourage renewals.
What Um-Switcher does
Um-Switcher lets you monetize your community or membership site by turning Ultimate Member roles into WooCommerce products. When a customer buys a plan, their role is elevated for the exact time period you set; when the plan ends, the role reverts, keeping access perfectly aligned with payments.
