    Hi I have to queries. :confused:

    query 1
    Members to my site currently have a monthly recurring subcritpion of $50/month via paypal. I intend to increase this amount to $75 next month.

    How is the best way to migrate this change? I know i will need to create a new product of $75/month (and from what I understand users will need to manually order this product once it becomes active).

    However what is the best way to phase out the current recurring subscriptions? (note: all members for my site have dirrent payment dates, so I can;t just delete the product in one go at the beginning of new cycle as everyone has a different billing cycle)

    query 2
    I want to introduce a referral program. So that members who refer 3 new members, get one month subscription free, or a rebate of the equivalent monetary amount? I had a look at the 'affiliate program' but am not sure this is the right thing for my purpose.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Are you using paypal_r? existing members will continue at old amount- new members will be billed new amount.

    I think amember has a plugin for this- contact them via support.
    But this may also depend on your payment system.

    Yes you need to cancel old subscriptions and ask to resubscribe.
