    Hello.

    First of all sorry for my English.

    I'm having a website built by a Chinese company so I don't have a lot of communication with them and I'll probably have to set up a few things myself. I'm having some sort of online community website built, so we'll use facebook as reference. My question is;

    There'll be two types of accounts on the website, free accounts and premium accounts, as in a monthly fee. Both accounts will be able to see and do the same things, but the free accounts will have limits such as an upload limit and a limit on the number of friends, etc. I'll already have the two types of accounts set up, just no way to bill users. Will aMember be able to bill only the premium members?

    I have searched quite a lot online and can't find a single program or script regarding this, so I thought I'd ask here. If aMember can't do this, what software can?


    Sorry if this is in the wrong section by the way.


    Thanks in advance.

    Yes aMember can differentiate between Free customers and Paid customers based on which products they are subscribed to. Whatever 3rd party community site you have will need to have a plugin for aMember to automate the management of the 2 account groups.

    The aMember Wordpress plugin is probably a good reference example for you where you can define the role of user being added.
