The Club Membership is coming in a couple of days, together with a bunch of other improvements!
As you probably know already we were planning to create a club membership option for you and we worked hard for the past couple of months to make that happen. I’m proud to say that we are ironing the last things down and we’ll launch the club feature on 15th of September, together with a lot of great improvements to our website.
Here is a list of features that will be added with the update:
Club membership
You will be able to join and get access to all our themes and future themes by paying a small fee per month. The club membership will include updates and access to all our support resources around the clock. We’ve prepared a couple of more perks for our club members, but we’ll let you know about them on the launch day.
User accounts
As you know, until now you didn’t need an account on our website in order to purchase a theme. We sent you a download link and every time you needed to re download the theme, you gave us an email and we reactivated the link. More over there were minor inconveniences when you wanted to upgrade from a Standard license to a Developer one.
Well, it’s over with that, you’ll have your own account on our website from where you can manage your WordPress themes. Upgrading is a breeze as well, at a press of a button you can pay the difference and get the access to the remaining resources immediately.
Facebook login
For an easy account creation and login process you will be able to sign in with facebook. All our previous clients will have the accounts already created and all the themes purchased will be found on the Themes page in their account. If you’ve purchased at least a theme from us (and you don’t already have an account on the forum) you’ll receive an email with the new password on the launch date.
New affiliate program
Until now our affiliate program was managed externally by e-junkie. You had to create an account with them and the affiliate experience was suffering because of all that back and forth between our website and e-junkie. The new affiliate program that will be managed directly from your account on our website.
If you are one of our affiliate partners you will need to change all the affiliate links with new ones from the new system. To ensure that this process will go smoothly and your income will not suffer, we’ve created accounts for all our affiliates and if you don’t already have an account on our forum you will receive an email with the new password and user on the launch date.
New payment gateway
It’s kinda stupid, but PayPal was the only way to pay for our themes … until now. We’ve implemented a new payment gateway, so you’ll be able to pay with your credit card from anywhere in the world.
User experience
The user experience will be greatly improved once the update will be up. We’ve invested a lot of energy to seamlessly integrate the new pages in the actual website, and we think you’ll appreciate the subtle attention to details you’ll find in there.
That being said we have already set up a notification protocol, so you will be notified about the new update shortly and on the launch date you will receive your user and password for the new account on the email you have used to purchase one of our themes in the past.

Nice to see that themefuse has come with club membership model. So lots of new features are upcoming to themefuse. Although we need to work little bit on changing all aff links on our network websites
Always a pain to update all affiliate links. But the updates look well worth it
I know mate, sorry for that, but it’s for the greater good trust me, it will be a whole new streamlined experience.
Could you please tell a little more about the Club model? Thanks
In 2 days you’ll find out all there is to know (:
Are there going to be some sort of vouchers for those who have bought a theme in the last month or so?
Some notice would have been good about this release. I would have waited till you launched this and started a membership rather than buying outright.
I don’t want to sound like one of those complainers on the internet but just kinda sucks, because this is an awesome option for long term customers of themefuse.
Of course Ben, if you are interested to join our club there will be discounts available for our current clients. We will still sell standard and developer themes separately like we did up until now. The club will be like a separate option fir freelancers, developers or web agencies that need constant and fast access to quality themes.
Looking forward to the improvements everyone at Themefuse! Now let’s keep pumping out new themes so we can help service those in need! Keep up the great work.
Of course Mike, that was always our priority, even in the development process of our club membership.
Wow, that’s great. Adding membership option is really good…
Does that mean non-members won’t get support on the forums anymore?
No, our current business model stays exactly the same, nothing changes, there will still be standard and developer themes for sale, and support will be the same. The club is an addition to all that, it doesn’t replace it.
Think it’s a good idea and I will waiting for.
Good luck. Btw I love your “maintenance mode” plugin and it’s the only one of it’s kind for me. My clients always impressed to see their logo.
Keep up your good work. It helps a lot.
Best regards from Berlin
Does this mean monthly theme releases?
You bet!
Great news, really looking forward to this. Great work ThemeFuse..:D
Does this mean that since we bought the developers package a while back, that we will still be allowed to download future releases without having to pay more money or does that change?
You were not allowed to download future releases with the developer pack you’ve purchased in the past. You will still need to join our club and pay $17 per month for the future released themes but you’ll not be required to pay the one time only fee of $249. If you are interested in joining, let me know and I’ll get back to you with the discount voucher.
Does this mean that we will still get all of the new releases as we were since we bought the developers package or do we have to becomes subscription members?
If you have purchase the developer pack, you will still have to subscribe to our club to get access to new releases, but you will not pay the one time only fee of $249. You’ll get a discount voucher for that. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll create and send the voucher asap.
great.. now every user of ThemeFuse can get support through club membership.
