Free Trial workaround

If cc processor doesn't support free trials, then you might want to try what I did (I use php_include protection method):

1. Create a product in amember e.g:

Title: Basic Trial (example)
Price: 0
Duration: 30 (example)
Scope: Only Signup
Recurring Billing: No
​

2. Create the same product again with below parameters:

Title: Basic (example)
Price: 19.90 (example)
Duration: 30 (example)
Scope: Only Members having paid subscriptions
Recurring Billing: Yes
​

Now when you are setting up your pages just give access for both products like this:

$_product_id = array(1,2);

This way on the signup form user can choose only the free trial product. When it expires he won't have access to protected pages, only the member page, where he can renew his subscription with the same product with a price at this time.

You can play around with the scope value.

Hope this helps

Oh, of course! I forgot that.
And also verify email should be enabled too. With older amember version use "generate password" instead.

this might be a dumb question but will this also work if I am using .htpasswd?

another dumb question. where does this go
$_product_id = array(1,2);

Im a bit of a newbie at php but know enough to tweak things a little
