    Hi everyone!

    I've recently inheritied maintenance of a site using amember and thus far have found it very easy to work with, and have come both here and the documentation many times for answers.

    Right now though I am having trouble finding if amember can handle a certain payment scenario, so though I'd ask the community.


    Can you have non-standard pricing, different prices per month on a recurrence?

    For example, my client wants a 3 month recurring billing, but they want to charge $1 for the first month, then $25 on month 2 and 3. Is this possible?

    If not, is there a common workaround?

    Also, on a similar note, can amember seamlessly graduate a user from one product to another?

    For example, at the completion of Product A, which is set to $25/3 month recurring, can I seamlessly (without manually doing so) graduate these users to Product B, which might have a different billing model altogether?

    Thanks so much for any assistance

    Yes, you would use a trial price and trial duration for month 1, and regular price duration for 2 and 3.

    No, not the way you describe.
    You can use the incremental content plugin to drip feed content over time, but you cant have the pricing change beyond a trial period and then recurring price. Not with the non-customized system.
