Secure client delivery
Share private files with precise permissions
Keep documents, contracts and deliverables behind role-based access — visible only to the people you choose.
Start free · Own it · Never outgrow it
The client portal you start free — and never outgrow.
Give clients a private, branded space on your own WordPress. No per-seat fees, no data on someone else’s servers — and when you’re ready for projects, invoicing or payments, they’re already built in.
10 000+ active installations
10+ years in production
Self-hosted — your data, no per-seat fees
Why teams choose WP Customer Area
A private client experience you fully control
Yours, on your WordPress
Self-hosted, no per-seat fees
Your portal lives on your own site, not on a third-party platform. Your client data stays yours, and you never pay per user or per client.
Starts simple, grows with you
Begin with the free core, add modules on demand
Start with just private files. When your work calls for projects, invoicing, payments or group permissions, switch them on — no migration.
How It Works
From first shared file to full delivery — on your terms
01
Install the free plugin
Stand up a secure, private client space on your WordPress in minutes.
02
Add only what your work needs
Enable the modules that match how you deliver today — file sharing, permissions, projects or invoicing.
03
Grow without switching tools
When your needs expand, turn on more modules instead of migrating to a heavier, pricier platform.
How it compares
Owned like a plugin. Capable like a platform.
Most teams choose between a hosted SaaS portal and a simple WordPress plugin. WP Customer Area is the one option that is both self-hosted and ready to grow.
| Capability | SaaS client portals | Simple WP plugins | WP Customer Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runs on your own site | — | Yes | Yes |
| No per-seat or per-client fees | — | Yes | Yes |
| Free to start | Partial | — | Yes |
| Room to grow | Yes | — | Yes |
Start free like a plugin, own it like a plugin — and scale into projects, invoicing and payments like a platform, without ever leaving your WordPress.

Before you buy
Questions teams ask before choosing WP Customer Area
The questions teams ask most when weighing WP Customer Area against a SaaS portal or a simpler plugin.
Do you charge per client or per seat?
No. You pay for the plugin and the addons you choose — add as many client users and team members as you want at no extra cost.
Where is my client data stored?
On your own WordPress site. Nothing is hosted on our servers, so you keep full control of your clients’ data.
Is it complicated to set up?
No. Start with just private files on the free core plugin. You only add complexity if and when you need it.
Will I outgrow it?
Unlikely. When you need projects, invoicing, payments or group permissions, you switch on a module — no migration to a different platform.
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. Launch on the free core, then add premium modules whenever a workflow earns it.
Will it work with my current WordPress stack?
It is built for production WordPress and integrates with common page builders and tools, including Elementor, Divi, ACF, Stripe and PayPal.
Do you provide support?
Yes — premium licenses include support so your team can ship with less risk.
Start free. Own it. Never outgrow it.
Give your paid services a secure, branded front door on your own WordPress — no per-seat fees, and all the room to grow.
