    Hi all,

    This is probably a little tricky to explain.

    Basically, I want to charge a $97 one time sign up fee and a $10 per month recurring subscription fee?

    How can I set it up so that the initial payment is $97 and then they don't start paying the $10 monthly fees until at least 30 days after they originally signed up?

    I'm pretty sure that this is all possible but here's the real kick in the rear. I already have over 100 members who joined during an early bird special offer price. I would like them to be able to remain as full fledged members and NOT be subject to the monthly subscription fees that everyone from here on out will be subject to... basically I want to grandfather them in and let them continue being members at no extra cost...


    My payment processor is 2checkout in case that info is needed.

    Thanks in advance for any support. I'm hoping to get the site 100% live within 2 weeks. I really appreciate the support here and must say it's been phenomenal!

    Setup in 2CO product settings
    Trial Price = 97
    Trial Period = 1 month
    Price = 10
    Period = 1month

    What about the 120 members I already have... they won't start getting billed $10 per month will they?

    I don't want them to be billed since they never agreed to a monthly recurring subscription fee.

    Alright I setup 2checkout so that the monthly fee is $10 AND they have to pay an $87 start up fee... essentially equalling what I wanted, $97 to join and then $10 per month after that.

    Now my question is in the amember "manage products" area... Do I just set the price at $10 with a recurrence every 30 days? Will that still charge them the $87 start fee?

    Thanks for your help Alex.

    And of course about the original members who signed up through the one time payment of $17 introductory offer, as for them, they won't start getting billed $10 a month will they?

    Sorry for all the ?'s... I'm a newbie with amember but love it so far.

    There are no ways to pass price for recurring product to 2CO, so it just does not matter what you configure in aMember product settings :)
