    My site is setup so that all members must first subscribe to get to free content area. Eventually, I will offer paid content (non-recurring) to access additional protected areas.

    How can I handle the product selection and purchase process without using member.php? I would like to have all products listed on a single page with some kind of "buy" button or link.

    At that point, if they are not registered I want them to be presented with the signup page. After that, I'd like them to be routed back to the list of products.

    If they are registered, I'd like them routed to the paypal page to pay for the content.

    Is this possible with aMember? Is there a lot of custom coding involved?

    Thanks!

    Hmmm...

    I do not know PHP. Is there something I can copy & paste into an
    html page?

    The only session variable I've worked with are the ones to import user data into my own pages.

    Without getting into php, this is gonna be tough.
    I'd suggest you stick with the standard members page then.

    You may be able to hack the html code on the members.html page to display a buy button for each of your products.

    You're probably right, David. Thanks for the feedback.
