HELP Lifetime Membership with ONLY 3 monthly

I can’t figure out how to set up lifetime access to a membership page, but ONLY charge a customer for 3 recurring payments. I have a tele-training I’m offering. The training only lasts 3 months and I want to give a 1 pay option AND a 3 pay option AND give everyone full, unlimited lifetime access to the course content.

This used to be very easy when I just used paypal. You’d simply set up a button using their installments option. Then I’d just send everyone who signed up the password to the protected content etc. and they could have lifetime access to it.

HOW do I do this with S2Member?

Thank you.

Hi Erin.

You can ust the rrt attribute for your button’s shortcode. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> rrt[/hilite]

rrt=”” Recurring Times ( i.e. a fixed number of installments ). Only valid w/ Membership Level Access. When unspecified, any recurring charges will remain ongoing until cancelled, or until payments start failing. If this is set to 1 or higher the regular recurring charges will only continue for X billing cycles, depending on what you specify. This is only valid when rr=”1″ for recurring “Subscriptions”. Please note that a fixed number of installments, also means a fixed period of access. If a Customer’s billing is monthly, and you set rrt=”3″, billing will continue for only 3 monthly installments. After that, billing would stop, and their access to the site would be revoked as well ( based on your EOT Behavior setting under: s2Member -> PayPal® Options ).

And you need to modify the EOT behavior so the user doesn’t get demoted after the last paid term. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)
