    Hi,
    I have two subscription types "A" and "B". Subscription "A" will show "Product1", "Product2", "Product3", but subscription "B" consists only of "Product2" and "Product3". How can I set this up in amember?
    Many thanks

    1. Create 3 folders, Product 1, 2 and 3
    2. Define two products (A and B)
    3. Protect folder 1 requiring A product
    4. Protect folder 2 requiring either A or B product

    Thanks for your step-by-step suggestion it is very helpful. Have set it up as per your instructions. The signup page now to a new member or member profile for existing member in the drop-down box shows "Subscription A" or "Subscription B". Can the contents of "Subscription A" and "Subscription B" also be shown?
    Many thanks

    When you say "contents" do you mean the description?

    Either the description or the name of "Product 1", "Product 2" and "Product 3".
    Many thanks

    Hmm.. by default aMember displays radio buttons and full description on signup page.

    Member page, however, shows a drop down and no description. This can be changed, but requires coding changes on the members template to accomplish.

    Do you mean the .php files? If that was done could the drop-down menu show "Subscription A" then listing below "Product 1","Product 2" (these products available for "Subscription A") and "Subscription B" listing below it "Product 2", "Product 3" (these products available for "Subscription B")? I want to be able to offer each "Subscription" as a self-contained package and also each "Product" as a stand-alone item.

    Just to confirm, you are talking about your member.php page right?

    Signup page should be showing radio buttons (or checkboxes if you have enabled multiple) by default and the description should be listed below.

    Signup is what non-registered users will see when registering. Member is for renewal or upselling.

    That being said, yes the template file(s) are located at: \amember\template\

    Yes I want to display in member.php otherwise existing members cannot purchase "products" which are not grouped under "Subscription A" or "Subscription B" or appear as stand-alone "products" unless they go back to signup page (they cannot re-register with same details!).
    Found this thread http://www.amember.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5828
    in which david1 suggests the following:
    "After setting up the products in amember,
    you could create a new page/table with all the products listed and a button to order that specific product using the code:
    <a href="{$config.root_url}/member.php?action=renew&paysys_id=paypal_r&product _id=2"> Order Now!</a>

    Where paysys_id is your payment system code, and product_id is your product code.

    You could probably alter this to use groups as well.

    David"
