I'm trying to set up a 1-Day Free Trial Membership, but at the end of it I don't want to force the person to buy a membership, and I don't want them to have access to member prices. Is there a way to set this up so that at the end of the free trial, the prospective member must use the normal sign up procedure and not have access to the special renewal rates at the member.php page? I hope this makes sense. Thanks, Dave
I've given this some thought and came up with a scenario. Here's the current pricing setup- Prices for Non-members (signup.php): 6-Month Membership...$29.95 1 Year Membership...$39.95 2 Year Membership...$59.95 4 Year Membership...$79.95 Prices for renewing members (available on the members.php page): 1 Year Renewal Membership...$29.95 2 Year Membership...$59.95 4 Year Membership...$79.95 -- I can set up the 1-Day Trial as a separate product with a custom Expire Notification email that's different then the ones paid renewing members receive. I can go into the "1 Year Renewal Membership...$29.95" product and allow all products to renew except for the 1-Day Trial on the members.php page and then also have the "1 Year Membership...$39.95" membership to show up on the members.php. Then the choices would be the same as for the non-members signup.php page. Is there an easier way to accomplish this? Thanks, Dave
I'm starting to get this figured out based on the above scenario. The problem I'm running into is that I would like to make this free 1-day trial available to visitors without forcing them to enter credit card info. Is there a way for a user to set up a free membership without requiring credit card or PayPal info? Thanks, Dave
Yep, create a 1 day trial product, and set it to dissallow if they have an active, or expired subscription to any other product. But i think you will be loosing a lot of money from people not going into your continuity program... also people signing up, expiring, then coming back again later for another 1 day free... David
David, "Yep, create a 1 day trial product, and set it to dissallow if they have an active, or expired subscription to any other product." ".. also people signing up, expiring, then coming back again later for another 1 day free..." I don't see how this will keep the cc_info.html page from popping up. I have it set now to disallow the Free 1-Day Trial product for both the active and expired so that the visitor can't easily keep coming back for another free day (unless they keep using new IPs and usernames, which I don't care about if this trial idea makes me more money). "But i think you will be loosing a lot of money from people not going into your continuity program..." If you mean recurring or auto payments, I don't use or believe in them anyway. If you mean something else, please explain. -- Bottom line, this is a test, and if it doesn't make me more money right away, I will dump it within a few days. I believe if more people saw my 500-600 webpages of content in the members area, more people would sign up. I could be wrong. Thanks for your response, Dave
