    Hi, Im new with amember and found difficult to set up a simple free subscription.

    I set a test product to $0.00 and duration= lifetime subscription
    however when I test it, it creates a user with period 01.31.2010 - 01.31.2010 and Expired status
    Also tried a fixed expiration date like 2020-12-31 and didnt work either, it creates the user exactly as before
    I use clickbank as the payment processor even is not necessary for this particular free membership

    also, is there any way to avoid the "payment system" fileds at signup.php when only a free membership otpion displayed? I tried Assign paysystem to product checked so it can stop displaying it, but the layout ends completely misconfigured when this option enabled.

    is there a manual to know how to set amember?

    Try removing the 0.00 and leaving it blank.

    Can you post a screenshot of your product settings?
