    Hello,

    We have Amember and 1ShoppingCart for a Membership site of course, where we want to offer a FREE 14 day trial. They have to ay $4.95 for shipping and so the recurring billing will be all set up, but how do I do this in Amember?

    I did it in 1Shoppingcart, but need to make it good in amember and I am confused about these fields in setting this up:
    PRICE - On a FREE trial, do I put the regular price here, the free price of 0.00 or the shipping charge they have to pay immediatley of $4.95 ?
    DURATION - It is a monthly membership so I assume this is 30 days, but with the free trial of 14 days, what do I put here?
    TRIAL PRICE - Again, the cost is really 0, but only the shipping is $4.95, so what do i put here?
    TRAIL 1 DURATION - do I out 14 days here?
    RECURRING BILLING - I guess this is checked, eh?

    Now, I have the 1Shoppingcart all doen so i didn't think i needed to do this in the Amember part of this project. So please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    PRICE - put the regular price here
    DURATION - 30 days (the regular duration)
    TRIAL PRICE - $4.95 (as this is the total cost during the trial)
    TRAIL 1 DURATION - 14 days (as that is the duration before rebill)
    RECURRING BILLING - Checked (as it will go into rebill after trial)

    I do not see TRIAL PRICE at all in my options, where is this? Is there something I need to install or fields to add? Plugin maybe?
