I have a question (and possibly a follow-up question) regarding the expiration date. They may be silly and perhaps already answered somewhere in the forum ( - I was unable to find the answer), but here goes: Question: When does a product expire exactly? e.g. If the period is "05/12/2011 - 05/15/2011", does the product expire at: a) 00:00 on 5/15 b) 23:59 on 5/15 c) or the same time as the purchase time on 5/15? d) other Follow-up Q: If the answer is not c), is it possible to make amembers behave like so? Thank you all for taking the time to read this question!
(b) 23:59 on 5/15 One issue you would run into in doing (c) is that would require constant cron runs.. certainly a customization could be made to accomplish it, but I would not suggest it personally.
Thank you for the reply! Also, I realized I have another two follow-up questions: 1. When does the subscription start? e.g., If it says 5/12/2011-5/15/2011, does the subscription start immediately after the purchase or from the 13th? The reason I ask is, the product I have is intended to last for 3 days. However, the period amembers assigns is 12th-15th (end of day), which is actually 4 days. 2. How does amember handle different time zones?
It uses the timezone set on the server. It starts on the day they order/pay. So if they order/pay at 11:50 pm on 5/12 then 5/12 is day 0. 5/13 day 1, 5/14 day 2, 5/15 day 3, for a total of 4 days. This is how you number your email sequence and incremental content too. David
