What you will need
- A WordPress site with Paid Memberships Pro installed and configured.
- A ConvertKit account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect ConvertKit to AFI
- Log in to your ConvertKit account.
- Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key and Secret.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → ConvertKit.
- Enter the API Key and Secret, then click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Paid Memberships Pro to ConvertKit.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Paid Memberships Pro as the form provider. AFI fires when a member checks out or a membership level changes, giving you access to member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID.
3. Select ConvertKit as the destination
Choose ConvertKit from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This adds a subscriber to ConvertKit.
4. Map fields
Match each ConvertKit field on the left to the corresponding Paid Memberships Pro field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Paid Memberships Pro. Check ConvertKit to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps email, first name, and last name to ConvertKit with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and tag assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
