Tech stack note
"Membership" = recurring donation tier, NOT an on-site account. There is no login, no member portal, no gated content. A "member" is a donor on a recurring PayPal subscription. No membership plugin needed (no Paid Memberships Pro, no MemberPress).
- Free tier signup uses Google Forms (
forms.gle/xijzLbUNPce549d57) — replace with Gravity Forms in rebuild - All paid tiers are PayPal subscription buttons (each tier links to a PayPal checkout URL with its own plan_id, see above)
- "Membership" data lives split between: Google Forms responses (free students) + PayPal's billing dashboard (paid tiers). Both are external — nothing in WP.
- Migration risk: the PayPal subscription plan IDs are tied to the existing PayPal merchant account. Switching processors means existing recurring donors have to manually cancel + re-enroll on the new platform. Confirm who owns the current PayPal merchant account before making any change.
