Integrating Wishlist Member with UltraCart
Wishlist Member is one of the most powerful and easy to use WordPress membership plugins available. By following this document, you can configure your UltraCart account to seamlessly integrate with your Wishlist Member installation.

Select the desired Wishlist Member instance from the dropdown, then copy the SKU for the desired membership level from Wordpress, and paste it into the Subscription SKU field, and press Save.
Notification to the Customer of their login credentials
When the order is placed and processed for payment, UltraCart communicates the purchase to Wishlist and Wishlist then generates the login credentials and emails them to the customer.
Storefronts
In the storefronts Receipt template and Email Notification receipt template you can use the $order.isPurchased velocity statement to customize the receipt page and email notification to notify the customer of the emailing coming form Wishlist member that contains their login credentials.

## Start Conditional if item "monthly_subscription" is purchased

<p>Attention: Your login credentials are being sent to you in a separate message from wishlistmember.</p>
#end
## End Conditional if item "monthly_subscription" is purchased |

Auto Order Considerations
