Can the Register User add on create two membership levels, with different access to forms/pages etc? E.g. a registered vendor member, and a registered buyer member?
The add-on can be used to assign a specific role to the user you register, yes. You can use a plugin like Members by Justin Tadlock to create new roles, like Buyer and Vendor, and give them just the permissions you want those registered users to have.
Does the Register User add on protect pages from unregistered people viewing them?
No. You need some sort of members only plugin to hide pages from unregistered visitors. There are lots of ways to do it, but none of them are related to Gravity Forms. Gravity Forms will register the user, but protecting the content from non-registered visitors is something it cannot do.
Can I customise the fields in the register form within the the User Registration Add On, to collect whatever data I choose from the user who is registering? Or is the add on restricted to unchangeable fields?
You can collect whatever information you like with the form including additional fields.
Are the register form fields customisable depending on the type of membership level being registered? Or are they the same for all membership levels?
You can have fields which appear conditionally based on the type of user you are registering, or you can use a different form for buyer registration and another for vendor registration. If you use different forms, the entries will be kept separately by form which may be easier to manage.
Can the Register User add on collect the registration data and then display anonymous statistics about one type of member for another type of member to view? E.g. could registered vendor members view a page with collected data on the registered buyer members?
No. There are no statistics about the type of registrations being made. All the information is stored in the database, so you could, in theory query the database and say "We have 32 registered buyers and 11 registered vendors." This would not be related to Gravity Forms at all. You would query the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables to determine information about registered users and aggregate the data. This is not a feature of Gravity Forms.
Can the add-on charge for an annual membership fee for one membership level, but not other membership levels?
The user registration add-on does not handle any payments or charges. You can integrate with one of the payment add-ons like PayPal Standard, PayPal Pro or Authorize.net and set up your subscription there (the annual fee.) You can chose to charge for some registrations and not others if you like.
Thanks for your help - I really appreciate it :)
You're welcome. Ask more questions if you have them before you make your purchase decision.
