free trial without gateway registration

Hi

I am trying to set up a membership site in South africa (will be usiing the pro version). unfortunately we can’t use Paypal so I’m going to integrate a local payment gateway. Unfortunately setting up subscriptions and trial offers on the gateways I’m looking at seems like quite a process (they require I set up a merchant account).

I want to try and avoid setting up post dated payments by allowing users to signup for free for 2 weeks with full access (the same access as paid members) and have a button in their profile prompting them to purchase a 6 month subscription. After the two weeks are up, they should be dropped a user level so that they can’t access the paid info but still be prompted to upgrade their membership.

Is there a way to do this?

Many thanks,
Etienne

Hi Etienne.

Yes, you can do that with the free registration pro-form, which lets you give all the access you want without charging the user. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

You can also set the EOT time and it’d trigger the behavior you configured for it, which by default demotes the user to Level 0. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior[/hilite]

This form is in the PayPal pro-forms page, but you don’t need to have a PayPal account to use it because there is no payment.

I hope that helps! :)

Great, yes that sounds pretty straight forward. Will check it out!

Thanks for your help :)
