Okay, I'm trying to figure out how to structure my membership levels and pricing, and not sure how to pull it off in amember. Product 1: has access to A for 6 months for $30 Product 2: has access to A and B for 1 year for $60 Product 3: has access to A, B, and C for 1 year for $120 Now, it makes sense to me to create separate amember products for each of these. What I don't get or understand, is how to implement an UPGRADE process. If PERSON signs up for Product 1, and a 3 weeks later decides they also want the goods in Product 2, how do I setup the upgrade path for this in amember? PERSON has already paid $30 which I don't want to count for nothing. Optimally it'd be great if the system could calculate the price difference between memberships levels and prorate a charge based on when the upgrade was made, but I'm certain that's not possible in Amember. Any suggestions for how to implement a tiered membership plan that has a clear upgrade path, which doesn't rip off me OR the customer?
This gets tricky. The simplest thing is to create an in-between product for existing members. Product 1: has access to A for 6 months for $30 Product 2: has access to A and B for 1 year for $60 becomes an upgrade procduct Product 2 Upgrade: has access to A and B for 1 year for an extra $30 What gets messy with this is, what if they cancel product 1.. they still are running #2 and getting access. Other option: If you are billing locally, Larry at Jlogica has a plugin that will cancel the prevois product when they upgrade. If its a local billing- this will also stop the former product being billed- if its paypal etc.. then the billing will continue unless you manually cancel it in paypal. David
Thanks David. I'm actually quite disappointed that amember has so little functionaility when it comes to tiered memberships. I got the jlogical Kill plugin, but does anyone know if it works with the Authorize.NET CIM beta integration? I don't actually know how that's implemented, I know its different than the authorize.net Recurring plugin....
