Nanacast Membership vs Optimizepress Membership

1 replies
I see people integrating Optimizepres Memberships with Nanacast as a merchant processor. Why are people using Optimizepress as a membership solution when Nanacast can ALSO be used as a membership site.

Why go to the extra effort of setting up an Optimizepress wp solution with Nanacast seems to be able to do it all.

Any advice?

    Hi Hal,

    Optimize press in itself is NOT a "membership solution." It is a theme primarily used to provide a killer sales letter theme for the wordpress platform. Some people use it in combination with membership subscriber management solutions + a required additional plugin (such as Nanacast's free member lock plugin) so that they can use the templates provided by Optimize Press to design memberships using the theme style optimize press provides for content pages served in a wordpress blog.

    Does this provide any benefit over Nanacast's hosted membership solution? Well relying on wordpress in general may create some limitations for you instead of taking advantage of many features the Nanacast hosted solution provides and in reality you CAN use BOTH if you use OP for the sales letter template side and Nanacast for the actual membership content delivery.

    See:

    CSS Membership

    And read:

    Nanacast hosted membership content delivery vs Nanacast Wordpress integrated membership for content delivery

    Does that mean that there never is a time you might want to use OP with Nanacast + our Member Lock wordpress membership plugin?

    That is completely up to you. You may prefer to use it for whatever reason.

    But generally, I find the main reason people don't avoid using wordpress for memberships is just a lack of experience, ignorance, laziness, or... they just really like the theme.

    OP is a great theme for a direct response purpose such as creating killer sales letters... but obviously my opinion is that IF you do use it for that purpose you should combine it with the benefits of delivering your actual membership content in a securely hosted and centralized nanacast membership and not in the blog itself.
