Stranger Studios WordPress Plugins for Ecommerce and Memberships

We build open source technology and produce digital content to help people get paid.

  • All of our software is free to use.
  • All of our content is free to consume.

At Stranger Studios, we build products around the platforms we create, including support, automation, guidance, and enhanced content delivery.

Businesses that use our platforms benefit from fast, secure software built specifically to help them make more money. Individuals and organizations use that money to find freedom in their lives and to achieve their respective goals.

The company was founded in 2006 by Jason Coleman and Kim Coleman.

Our Open Source Solutions

We are commited to Open Source. We think using the GPL license will result in the best code.

All of our code is here on GitHub. We have embraced the GPL and try to not only live up to the law of the license but the spirit of it as well. This means making our code accessible to everyone. Check out our respositories here on Github, including:

Paid Memberships Pro

A WordPress membership plugin to restrict access to content and charge recurring subscriptions using Stripe, PayPal, and more.

Sitewide Sales

A plugin to run Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or other flash sales on your WordPress-powered eCommerce or membership site with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and Paid Memberships Pro.

Our full collection of over 150 open source solutions are available on GitHub.

Our Core Values

Our core values exemplify the people we enjoy working with. They exemplify the people we enjoy being. We hire based on these core values. Our employee review process focuses on these core values.

Our core values help us to make decisions about our work. When we are stuck between two alternative courses of action, the option that is most inline with our core values is the one we should take.

  • We do purposeful work.
  • We take responsibility for our own work.
  • We have respect for each other and our customers.
  • We are all human.
  • We are committed to open source.

How We Use GitHub

Code is a huge part of what we do. Every feature, menu option, checkbox, and word in our software has been strategically added with code.

However, it takes a lot of work to store, maintain, and contribute to our code base. We use GitHub to open source our plugins and ever-growing library of Add Ons and code recipes. As an external collaborator, here is how we welcome your contributions to our software:

  • We encourage and welcome any contribution to our code. If you find a bug, report it in an Issue for that plugin's GitHub repository.
  • Anyone from inside or outside our team can submit a potential code change or 'Pull Request'. Once submitted, the repository owners review these code changes, post comments, suggest changes, then merge or reject them.
  • If you're not a developer, you can still get involved by contributing a translation through GitHub by contacting us.
