    When someone buys a one-time-payment product, how to I roll him into one of my free trial membership programs? Is it possible to also give him the option to select if he wants the free trial. Thanks.

    You can have the user choose both products, but the system will not automically add a 2nd product.

    To "roll them in" set the products trial price to the one time product price with a period of 1 month, then the price of $XX for your recurring product.

    Hey David, thanks for your prompt reply.

    I wonder if it can be done with some simple php modifications.....

    This is an excellent idea! So all my front end products will "roll" people into my backend membership.

    There are 2 issues here.....

    If they pay one time for the front end product but stop paying for the back end membership, how is it possible that I can allow them to continue to access the front end but stop access to the back end.

    I'm using jrox as well, how do I set the affiliate commissions then? I want the front end commission to be 100% but the backend to be 50%.

    Yep, probably, but last time i checked, amember wont let a recurring and onetime product be bought at the same time.

    give them a coupon to the front end product, then if they cancel, the coupon will allow them access to just the front end product. youll need to create a new product for the front end, and only allow it to be purchased by expired product A people.

    JROX only allows the same commission of front and recurring.
    For backend commisions to be different, I have done a hack to the paypal plugin to allow this. You can learn how to do this on my site.
