    Does amember allow webmasters the setup to give users to a free trial (x number of days/months) and if they like the service then they can enter in payment details?

    If not are there any simple work arounds, such as creating a free membership and then prompting upgrade after x number of days with the account suspended after x number of days.

    There is a trail payment available depending on which payment system you use- however it uses "forced continuity". In other words after the trial the user is automatically billed.

    IMHO- To give people say 7 days free, then ask them for the payment when it expires... you'll be loosing a lot of money.

    I appreciate your concern but my service will be required all year round, so even a one month trial will not detract clients from purchasing, infact the idea is it will strenghten numbers of paying users.
