Welcome to Caribou CMS

Caribou CMS is a website publishing platform for revenue-generating businesses and organizations written in PHP and powered by a MySQL backend. At the heart of Caribou is a subscription membership website management content publishing system. However, subscription memberships are just one aspect of Caribou; the product has evolved to include other revenue-generating components such as online store functionality and affiliate system manager. Like any innovation, Caribou’s main purpose is to make things easier. Caribou makes things easier for businesses by:

• Accepting online subscription and store purchase payments via multiple payment gateways securely and automatically (see the Integrations section for a list of gateways),
• Managing all site content from one clean control panel,
• Managing site members, including seeing billing history, manually adding subscriptions to their accounts, searching your members database, etc., and
• Providing a great platform to be customized for any type of website – now made even easier with the Forms module, custom fields, integrations and, of course, easily editable and replaceable templates thanks to the Theme Editor.

Caribou’s control panel is simple enough for non-technical users while providing the power and customizability that power users require.
