The Simple Membership Plugin has an option that can be used to let the users complete registration for paid memberships from the “Thank You” page (after the payment).
This is an OPTIONAL feature so only use it if you want to. Read the registration process documentation to learn how a typical paid registration process works.
Typically, users receive an email with a special link to complete registration after making a payment for a paid membership. The feature explained on this page allows you to display the special registration link on the thank you page after payment.

The Thank You Page
The plugin automatically creates a Thank You page with the shortcode when you install the plugin for the first time. This feature is available from plugin version 4.2.5.
You can find the URL of the Thank You page in the settings menu of the plugin.
If your site is missing the default Thank You page, use the following steps to create a new Thank You page.
The Following Steps Show How to Use This Feature
Step 1) Create a “Thank You” page (where your visitors will land after they make the membership payment).
Step 2) Add the following shortcode to this newly created “Thank You” page:
[swpm_thank_you_page_registration]
You can also add extra instructions/messages (that will be helpful to your members) on this page. Add any extra message above or below the shortcode.
Step 3) Edit your membership payment button from the “Payments” menu of the plugin.
Step 4) Use the URL Of this “Thank You” page in the “Return URL” field of the payment button.
Now, when the members land on the Thank You page after the payment, they will be given an option to click on the unique registration link to complete the paid registration.
Customizing the Thank You Page Message
You can use the free Custom Messages Addon to customize some of the Thank You page messages.
Auto Redirect to the Paid Registration Page After Payment
If you want to simplify the registration process even further, you can now automatically redirect users to the unique paid registration page immediately after payment. It’s supported for PayPal (New API – PPCP) and Stripe payment buttons.
