    Hi,

    I'm just looking into the features of this application. As I have to upgrade my own website subscription, so that it includes php, I have some questions in advance.

    1. will php 3, php 4 or php 5 be enough? Or is there something else to take into account?
    2. Can I create something like ecourses, meaning, that customers receive predefined emails on certain days after their subscription (Like on day 1, day 8, day 15, etc.)?
    3. Could it be used for newsletters? People subscribe for free and get a 10 year free membership, where I, the admin, send them emails regularly?
    4. Can I use it for ebook-download? Somebody purchases the ebook and can get it at my page in a protected area?
    5. Is it possible to change between free and paid membership? Like somebody signs up, but July is a free month, where nobody has to pay a membership-fee.
    6. I just looked into my own website-features. If I want to use my own cgi-scripts, I'd have to make another upgrade. So is php 3 to 5 sufficent or do I need to upgrade to "Integrate your own cgi-tools", too?
    7. Can I have something like a trial membership? 30 days free or free till the end of the month, and after that a paid membership?
    8. Can I have one membership-site, where people log into, but depending on when they subscribed different fees? Like the first, who tried it out, are free, the next have let's say 19 $ and in the end we have 49$?

    I am not sure, but it seems as if this program might solve all my challenges at once ...

    I'm really excited! :)

    1. PHP 4.1 and later will work.
    2. It is called "autoresponders", but yes - it is possible.
    3. Yes, it is possible.
    4. Yes, it is possible.
    5. You cannot change existing subscriptions terms (if there is recurring billing). However, for new customers, it is possible to change settings.
    6. I don't understand question, sorry.
    7. Yes, if payment processor supports it, it is possible.
    8. It is possible to do, you will create several "products" with same access rights and different pricing, and enable/disable them for sale when you need that.

    Thank you so much! I will give it a try. It almost so good.

    Don't worry about No. 6, nor do I understand it. It is something they wrote about the features, that come with my homepage-package.

    Thank you again!
