    Free Signup, then goto paid signup (w/o logging in)

    Hi,

    How do I achieve the following:

    • Page 1: Sign up for a FREE subscription
    • Page 2: Sign up for a PAID subscription (without having to login with a user name and password)

    In other words, is it possible to have my customer who has just signed up for a free subscription to be automatically logged in, and taken to page 2 (PAID subscription page) as soon as they join the free group (ie, keep them logged in, and don't ask them for a login and password....)

    I can understand that if they decide to upgrade in a few days, they'll need to login, but if they don't close the session, can they be automatically logged in?

    know what I mean?

    I think you could do it on the thank you page- if the total <1 then redirect to your upgrade page.

    I should add, the only reason I want to offer the free product, is just I can use the autorepesponder that comes with amember. I would like to send maybe 7 emails to those people enticing them to upgrade.

    Perhaps it would be better to use a one of the integrated autoresponders like phplist, or aweber?

    FYI - Support desk (Alex) just advised me:

    You need to enable amember CP -> Setup -> Advanced -> Automatically login customer after signup
    Then modify thanks template and include direct link to purchase product:
    /amember/member.php?action=renew&product_id=1&paysys_id=paypal_r

    I have yet to try it out...can't wait!
