    Is it possible to create a webpage outside of amember, then have a link on that webpage that points to a single product instead of having the entire list of products available showup?

    We're going to be adding 100's of products to our site and we don't want 100's of products showing up on our signup page.

    Instead, what we would like to do is create webpages for each product, then at the bottom of those web pages have a 'click here to purchase' link that takes them to an amember page with ONLY that product shown.

    Is this possible?

    If this is not possible, would it be possible to have our customer's signup for a particular product OUTSIDE of the amember site?

    For instance, are there 'calls' we can make from an external webpage to trick amember into thinking that the customer was placing the order from the amember signup page, but instead was done from our products page?

    Thanks!

    Yep, you need to create negative Price Group ID, eg -2
    Then you link to the signup page using a link to signup.php?price_group=-2
    and only that product will be displayed.

    Thanks! I'll try that.

    You can make it a two step process posting the form to signup.php. I know that is not what you are looking for but at least you can have a custom form on your page and then have it pre-fill the data on signup and make it look like a conformation page.

    I am sure there is a way to pass the variables on to the smarty engine but I don't know how.

    I have a similar type of site. Is there a way a current user of 1 product can sign up for additional products (since they wouldnt be listed on the members page)?

    If they are looged in, you can create a page with the products listed and use a link like:
    /amember/member.php?product_id=1&paysys_id=paypal_r&action=renew
