    I have this scenario with 3 products:

    Product 1 - Free lifetime membership
    Product 2 - Paid Basic Software for download
    Product 3 - Paid Premium Software for download

    How do you have two separate Sign-up pages;
    - Product 1 signup NOT requiring any payment information (and therefore NOT showing any payment options),
    AND
    - Product 2 sign-up page for Product 2 which REQUIRES payment (but also gives them the lifetime membership (ie Product 1)?

    Product 2 should be available as an option on the Members page after the free (Product 1) sign-up (to purchase at a later time then requiring payment information).

    Product 3 is only available to purchasers of Product 2 (on their members page).

    I hope I made this clear. Any help would be appreciated.

    I created a situation like this on my site. What I did was to create a custom signup form for the free membership, which was placed on a custom page. The paid memberships are available through the normal signup form.

    You can see an example of this at: http://www.PowerKeysPub.com/members/home/

    Product 3 only shows if Product 2 subscribed to

    I'm looking for the specifics in order to set up the products as shown in my first post above.

    Here's my attempt to answer my own question after looking through the forum and compiling a solution. Please advise if I've got this right!!!

    Steps;

    A. - Set Product 1: price group ID = -1 (negative number = won't show up in default signup.html)
    - Set Product 1 Scope: "Only Signup"
    - Set Subscription Terms to "Lifetime"

    B. - Set Product 3: price_group ID = -3 (negative number = won't show up in default signup.html)
    - Set Product 3 Scope: "Only Members having completed Subscriptions (hide from signup)"

    C. "Free Lifetime Membership" custom sign-up - Show ONLY Product 1 AND doesn't show payment system by linking to
    "../aMember/signup.php?hide_paysys=free&price_group=-1"

    D. "Product 2 - Buy Now!" signup - Simply use the default signup which only shows Product 2 AND payment systems. Link is ""../aMember/signup.php"


    Assuming I've got this correct so far (please correct me if you see an error), how do I ensure Product 3 shows up in the ADD/RENEW Subscription list for Product 2 ONLY and not Product 1?
