It was extremely easy to install and get working. The included memberships examples are very useful in getting up and running. The instructions are excellent and thorough. A limitation, which I understand they are working on, is membership payments are only currently (10/2012) taken through Paypal. Being able to add a manual membership - say someone came into the office and paid by check - will be a very useful improvement for an organization like mine. Thanks for your work!
This is a good component, though the documentation can be improved a bit more, it is simple to use for small business website. Good work!
I really appreciate the quick responses as well as the effort that goes into your emails when communicating with clients. You really have some great extensions (I started with Paypal Button), they work beautifully and the tutorials are well written. it is also nice to know you can count on the developer responding wuickly, unlike most. I really have to compliment you on your customer service, you left me speechless. Thank you for what your extension and your support has meant to my business.
It work like it say, and price is accepted. I too ask a question, support man replies and solute my answers, it really nice membership!
Now here is a Diamond in the Extensions.
Been doing this Joomla thing for some time now. Have tried tons of components, mods, etc... Never felt compelled to leave a review until I used this Members extension and their other apps.
It does just what expected and More...
Support is simply Top Notch. Stop looking, Stop thinking, and get this one now! End your searching and get to work.
Easy to get the hang of, easy to implement and make your own.
Is very dependent on Paypal so know ahead you will be using that.
The support alone is worth it, if you need any. After this, I started using his other apps, and together they make a fantastic environment. Flexible enough for many situations, yet consistent enough that you can build on and from it.
I honestly can`t say enough ...
Thank You, Michael & the folks of TriniTronic

This is an excellent extension, you have done great. I've been searching for an extension that will enable me sell membership access on my joomla site and I found this one very interesting. However, there is a feature that I need to help me server my users better.
I want an update of the component such that in addition to the existing payment methods, a user can pay for subscription using a randomly generated and stored unique PIN code (10 - 14 digits), which he will purchase offline. Once a PIN code is used it can no longer be used by the user or any other user.
That means there will be an additional payment method called PIN number. So admin can generate PINs from backend and sell them offline, then user can use the PIN purchased offline to make payment for their subscription. Admin can generate PIN based on subscription category. E.g PIN to activate gold category membership plan will not work for silver category membership plan.
Kindly take a look at this, I will appreciate it if it can be incorporated into the next version.
Thanks

If you have a need for managing paid memberships, there's really no reason to look anywhere else. This one is super easy to manage, and automates a lot of work for you.
Michael is great. With the type of websites I do, it's hard to get good support from vendors. But he didn't pass judgement or try to cut the conversation short. Excellent support and a very open mind.

Many membership extensions out there are complex and hard to work with, no Nice Memberships.
Noob-users should easily configure and manage memberships.
In the future i hope to see integration with Jomsocial and their profiltypes.

Nice is the right name for this extension. Im quite new to using joomla but if other extensions are as good and easy to use as this one i can see this being an enjoyable experience.
Im not one of these people that gives feedback of a rule but credit where credit is due.
well done with this one.

This extension was easy to install and get set up. I had my site ready to sell memberships within an hour. The extension is well documented and was easy to follow. When I asked the developer a question, Michael was quick to respond and very helpful. The automatic user account creation is my favorite.
I highly recommend this extension to anyone looking for a good membership extension.
