    If a member already has an active subscription, can I offer a coupon for them to add an additional month?

    Which payment system are you using?
    If its something like paypal_r, no, as the subscription payment is locked at paypal, so you cant alter the terms without canceling.

    I meant just adding, say an extra month to their already active subscription. I can do it manually, but I was wondering if they could add one themselves by using a coupon code.

    I suppose I can just detect if they are logged in and instead of showing a coupon just modify their subscription expiration by adding another month, right?

    My point is that if they are on a paid subscription with paypal, your changing the end date isnt going to matter. Paypal will still rebill.

    If they arent on an auto rebill, then yeah, a coupon, or manually adding a month will work.

    In that case, they can do it manually with a coupon code, or you can add it manually, or you can do a mass subscribe if its everyone with the product already.
