Hi! So quick question, I need to set up a particular subscription/download system. I'll explain what we need: Users will be purchasing intangible products (downloads) on our site, they will then get 2 months of free updates, support etc... after this time they will need to pay a monthly subscription fee e.g. $10/month; for services, and updates How do you set up an initial upfront cost ($100), and then a subscription payment that will need to start 2 months later at 10/month? Second question.. We also need to give customers who have bought in the past the option to 'reactivate' their membership with a lower fee $25, which will reactivate the two months free then subscription payment. How would you do this? Thanks for your help.
1. Create product with these settings: Product price = 10 Product period = 1m Trial 1 price = 100 Trial 1 period = 2m recurring =Yes Scope Signup 2. here is product settings: Product price = 10 Product period = 1m Trial 1 price = 25 Trial 1 period = 2m recurring =Yes Scope Members only
ok, thanks, So I have some more questions around "downloads"... The scope thing won't work because we will need to be able to sell products at full price from the member page as well. For an initial purchase of Product A at $75, customers would get access for two months... after that they would need to be a part of our $10/month membership program. then after that period, if they chose not to pay for the membership they could 'reactivate' Product A for a low cost like $25. Product B, Product C would still be full price since they haven't purchased them in the past.. Is this possible?
Well I think you need onetime downoad plugin instead. I guess you will create separate product for separate downloads? if so onetime download plugin allow to attach file to a product, so when user will purchase product he will be able to download corresponding file. In regards to different signup pages for different products you can use price groups for this. aMember CP -> manage products -> Edit Product -> Price Group
what would I need to do to tie these downloads to a membership product? I'm a veteran php guy, so if there is customization needed then I would just need to know where to start...
No this will not require customization. Just enable plugin and assign files to a products. When plugin enabled you will see additional options for file path in product settings.
