3 period billing

Is there a way to have the billing setup like:

Month 1: $200
Month 2: $250
Month 3+: $50 (recurring)

What about if you set paypal up in front of amember? Can you then use the paypal settings to create the 2 trial periods?

Hi David,
Could you elaborate further? I would like to use aMember in the following method:

One off setup fee $150
Monthly fee $25 for 24 months
Monthly fee $15 for lifetime

At the moment My plan is to use aMember to take the one off setup fee for month one, then a lifetime subscription to my first monthly fee of $25 and provide customers a coupon code for $10 off at the 24 month mark. - The Drawback to this method is I'll have to monitor all my subscriptions quite closely.
Or
set aMember with 2 products. "Product A:" takes the one off payment for the first month, then $25 for 24 months. And set a second product "Product B:" set at $15 lifetime subscription which is only available to to those who have an expired Product A subscription. - The Drawback to this method is that I'm a little worried it may offer those who cancel Product A early the option to subscribe to Product B and get the reduced rate.

But it sounds like your method would work to take my one off payment and might be a little more elegant.
All advice would be appreciated.

No answer on this, IMH) I think you are making the payments way to complicated- and your customers wont really care.
I'd simplify it to a trial price then recurring price... Confusion can cause people not to buy too.

David

exactly what David said.

you really have no good reason to set up a complicated payment structure like that, and you can easily simplify those to a trial price & a full monthly price in every single scenario you can possibly think of. there's no need in complicating things.

I appreciate what your saying but I'm not working on a normal membership site per se. Is there an easy way to reward or up-sell to members over 24months. It'd be great if aMember could be set to email me when one of our members is about to reach their 24th month then I could manually contact them either offering an upgrade (perhaps at a reduced price) or a coupon to reduce their current plan

Set up an email autoresponder to be sent after XXX days?

David

Well no, I don't want an automatic response, I'd like to decide myself how I want to proceed on a member to member basis. Plus if I do decide to give a coupon I'll need to generate that coupon before the message is sent.
