I'm trying to setup a transaction process that will go something like this: Customer purchases product A ($47.00 lifetime subscription), at the same time they are forced in to product B (30 day trial period then $17.00 monthly recurring). If a customer elects to opt out of my monthly membership I'd still like them to have access to product A. Can amember achieve this type of of a transaction? Thanks in advance for your assistance. -Derek
I give a complimentary plugin as a bonus item to my premium members- this will allow you to add a 2nd complimentary product to your subscription product, so if they cancel the subscription they still have the 2nd product. David
Ok, if I understand this correctly, Both the 30 day trial (monthly continuity) as well as the original product must both be sold through the aMember process. Correct? Product A is whatever, Product B is the trial membersip for 30 days, to be billed every 30 days after the first month. So if Product A is the same price as the monthly subscription B, I can basically just do a recurring payment for subscrition B, and give them a link to, or send them Product A. What if Product A is more or less than Subscription B? I want Product A to be $59.97, and Subscription B to be $30 a month. Purchasing Product A gets you a 30 day trial to Subscription B. How can I set that up?
Bundle A&B together: Trial price $59.95 Trial Duration 30 days Price $30 Duration 1 mos This will give you a lead product of $59.95 and 30 days free trial, then $30 a month continuity. If they cancel, they lose access to the lead product, which is why i had the complimentary plugin created. This will add a lifetime access to A as well. David
Ok, how about we take this to tricky land now? Say you have product A, which has a lifetime subscription. One time purchase to access certain content. Then you have product B, which has a recurring monthly subscription. What if I want to make continued access to product A contingent on a recurring subscription to content B. For example, a certain amount of content (product A) is available for say... $50. But you must maintain an active subscription (product B at.. say $20 / month) to continue to receive access to product A. Possible? Of course. But does amember support this out of the box or is there a plugin out there that does this? I know that there is "Require another subscription to order this product" but the keyword there is order. This wouldn't disable a subscription that was already in place, would it? Exploring the rabbit hole deeper, what if I wanted a user to have access to product A for a certain amount of time, regardless of other subscriptions, but then continued access if they picked up or renewed a recurring product. Example would be someone buys product A. They get access to product A for 3 months, but after that, they must subscribe to product B for continued access. Since product B offers things not available to product A, the user may or may not have a subscription to product B for those first 3 months.
Just keep them in the same product then. Product A and B together, become Product C For altering the length of the added complimentary product, Larry at Jlogica, has an advanced complimentary plugin that you can set the time length with. David
I forgot to answer my own post. I went with pretty much what you were describing David. What I did was create product C and D. Product C is a combination of products A and B. Product D is a lifetime membership which is really nothing but a placeholder gateway. When the user subscribes, they are subscribing to A, C, and D. If they cancel product C, which is the combined product, product A, which is the non-recurring content, will still be active. Once the life of product A ends, product C will still give access to product A as long as the subscription remains active. Product D is there to allow them to resubscribe to product C again if they decide to cancel their subscription while product A's lifetime is still in effect, and then realize they need product C to continue to get access to product A. My only problem is that since I had 3 product A's, and 4 product B's, I now have 55 products. Thank goodness for price groups AND allowing multiple price groups per product. PHEW.
