1. Improve Authorize.net Payment Integration
- Support refund subscription directly from subscription management (same with other payment plugins like PayPal, Stripe, Mollie).
- Added a new paid payment plugin MP Authorize.net Hosted Checkout which uses Hosted Checkout payment option from Authorize.net. The new payment plugin should be used to replace the MP Authorize.net SIM (which was deprecated by Authorize.net and not really reliable these days)
- Support webhook instead of Slient Post (which is not reliable) for handling recurring subscription renewal. If you are using Authorize.net, please read documentation at
, configure Signature Key and webhook to make recurring subscription works in more reliable way
2. Improve Group Membership
- Allow searching for group members by group admin username from backend group members management
- Allow group admin to export group members from frontend group members management
- Added a new parameter to
System - Membership Pro Reminder plugin to allow sending reminder email to group members if required.
3. Improve Frontend Subscriptions Management
Allow cancel recurring subscription and refund subscription payment from frontend subscriptions management.
4. Improve Subscription Upgrade
Added a new config option
Apply Setup Fee on Upgrade to allow not charging users setup fee when they upgrade their subscription to new plan if needed.
5. Allow Using Joomla Mail Template Layout
Joomla 6 supports
Mail Template Layout . If you use mail template layout on your site to have consistent mail styling and layout for all emails (HTML emails). If you want to use that mail template layout in Membership Pro, you can just set
Use Joomla Mail Template config option to Yes and Membership Pro will use global Joomla Template Layout for sending email instead of using it's own layout. It makes Membership Pro emails look consistent with all other emails send from your site
6. Other Improvements
- Improve
Membership Pro - Documents plugin, allow sending modified date of document (inside plugin and menu item)
- Added a new Filter option to custom field to allow converting entered data to have first character of entered string become upper case, all other characters are lowercase
- Improve GDPR layout to make it consistent with other fields on the form
- Added CSV delimiter config option to allow control the separate character in case you export data to CSV instead of Excel in Membership Pro
Update: There was a small bug in the code prevent Sign up button from being displayed, so I released new version 4.5.1 on 16 March 2026 to fix it.
