Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this questions. Need some help setting up products... - I'm selling membership to a core area of the site - On the sign up page I want to also offer access to a bonus area of the site but which cannot be purchased alone (they have to also choose the core product). However, if I create two products - one core and one bonus, the radio buttons on the sign up page force me to choose either or. - Based on the above do I have to create one core product and one core product plus bonus area? - Let's say someone just purchases access to the core product but a later stage wants to buy the bonus... does this mean I have also create just a bonus product so they can add it to the existing core product? The way I see it I need to create 3 products in Amember: 1) Core product 2) Core plus bonus product 3) Bonus product Am I on the right lines?
amember admin / setup / advanced / Select Multiple Products on Signup Page However- this may not work if you are using a recurring payment. In that case- i think you need to bundle products together. David
There is also an option in the product definition to require another product in order to purchase the current one. I don't know if this works on the signup page to allow members to purchase both products together, so you may need to create a separate product which is the bundle of the 2 you're working with. As such, you would end up with 3 products. The core product, the bonus product, and a bundle of the 2. The core product and the bundle may be offered on the signup page, and the bonus product may be offered separately in the members area on the member.php page. You may also need to set the bonus product to be displayed only to members so it doesn't show up on the signup form.
Yes, creating those three products will take care of it if you leave the radio buttons instead of multi-select. 1) Core Product: visible on all pages, disallow if active core or active core+bonus (but allow if expired so they can renew if they ever let their membership lapse) 2) Core + Bonus: visible on signup only (since 3) Bonus: visible on members only, require active core product to purchase, disallow if core+bonus product is active/expired
