    I currently publish a single monthly newsletter, but am in the process of adding a second (and perhaps third) newsletter as well (each newsletter would have its own content that should only be viewable by subscribers to that particular newsletter).

    Customers will be able to purchase each of these newsletters separately (and I think I've figured out how to get aMember to handle that), but what I'd like to do now is offer the ability for them to purchase more than one newsletter at once as a "bundled package" and do so at a discount to the price for purchasing them individually.

    What is the "best" way to accomplish this in aMember?

    Should I simply put the multiple products on a single signup page with a note saying "if you order A & B, enter coupon code B1 to receive your bundled discount... if you order B & C, use coupon code B2 to receive the correct discount (etc.)"?

    Or is there way to have a product called "AB" with its own price group, but once someone signs up for it, they are actually designated as being in the price group of A AND the price group for B even though to them it appeared they were only signing up for one "option" on the sign up screen?

    Or... or..?

    Any help from the aMember jedis out there on how I could solve this "problem" would be most welcome!

    Thanks in advance!

    Bundling and bundling with discounts gets exponentially more complicated the more products you add.

    2 products is pretty straight forward, but 3 gets more complicated.
    2= A,B, A+B.

    With 3 products these are the combinations, A, B, C, A+B, A+C,B+C, A+B+C.
    You'll need to create a new product for each of these.

    Amember 3.2.3 has a new feature with allows you to add another product to an existing one, for example, order "Full Bundle" and it adds A, B, C, as additional products. However, I've only found this useful for "full bundle" products.
