How to up Upsell seamlessly from free to paid

I have a site that is a paid membership. How to I give free access to the membership area for 7-10 days or more? Is there a way to when this time expires, it takes them to the membership purchase plans? Would it be easier to clone the membership area? I’m using the Authorize gateway.

Thank you kindly for your support.

You should be able to set an end time in your free registration form shortcode with this attribute:

tp=”1″ regular period = 1
tt=”W” regular term = Week

This means they will have access for only 1 week. After this tie they should be re-directed back to the membership options page if they try to access secured content.

Hope that helps,

Dave

WoW! Thanks Brother DW!!!

So the numeral in the first example tp=”5″ would represent 5 days…..

Peace ;-)

Hmm…

looking at the code from the pro authorize form to create the short-code, i see there is both the tt= and the tp=. Do i need these both or can I use either or?

Do i need these part of the short-codes in the paid members area too? Would love to omit this part of the shortcodes, but I’m guessing it’s a part of the time frame the member has purchased. thx.

Those are for an optional term before the first regular term of the subscription starts. If you give that optional term for free, it’s called the trial, if you charge for it then it’s called the initial term. You can leave it as [hilite mono]tp="0" tt="D"[/hilite] if you don’t want to use it.

I hope that helps. :)

How does the free registered user able to see how much time is left until they have to purchase one of the plans? Thx.

Gaper, could you post the shortcode you’re using? I re-read the thread and am not sure now what you’re trying to do. Are you trying to register members for free at Level 1 and have them demoted to Level 0 after 5 days?

About the time left, you can calculate how many days since they registered to figure out the days left in the trial. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Content Dripping[/hilite]

tt=”W” regular term = Week

Dave, [hilite mono]tp[/hilite] and [hilite mono]tt[/hilite] are trial period and term, [hilite mono]rp[/hilite] and [hilite mono]rt[/hilite] would be the ones for the regular period and term. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Authorize.Net® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes[/hilite] ;)

I’m doing a free registration on Level 0 for a week with limited access to the full members area.

The code I’m using is:
[s2Member-Pro-AuthNet-Form register=”1″ level=”0″ desc=”Signup for a Free test drive for 7 days!” custom=”themassagecoupon.com” tt=”W” regular term = Week captcha=”blackglass” /]

Everything works fine. I just need a way to where the free reg. will see how much time is left before they need to purchase one of the membership plans.

thank you kindly for your support!

I see.

Well, if it’s a trial, I imagine you want to give them access to the paid content, which I’m guessing is at Level 1, not 0. And your trial period is not defined properly. Here, try this:

[s2Member-Pro-AuthNet-Form register="1" [hilite mono]level="1"[/hilite] ccaps=”” desc=desc=”Signup for a Free test drive for 7 days!” custom=”themassagecoupon.com” [hilite mono]tp="1" tt="W"[/hilite] captcha=”blackglass” /]

I hope that helps. :)

Everything seems to be working other than I can’t see the trial period, or when it ends.

Where? The profile of the account you tested with? Did you check the EOT field there?

Im in the user info on the profile test account and do not see an EOT. Is there a short-code for this where I can show this EOT in various areas? Definitely not in the update billing or the members home page.

I’m in the > API / Notifications and can’t seem to wrap my mind on it. I’m using https across the board. Will this work and I’m guessing now I need another separate page for this EOT?

Well i have found a useful plugin that just uses a simple shortcode for this EOT. This is the simplicity that I needed.

If you set the trial, the EOT time should be in his profile. Could you send me login info to look at this and do a test registration? Please include the link to the page where you have the pro-form for the trial. Thanks! s2Member® » Private Contact Form

When the EOT time is set in the user’s profile, you can use PHP to get it, there isn’t a shortcode. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

[hilite pre_code]
$s2member_auto_eot_time = get_user_field ("s2member_auto_eot_time"); # Auto EOT-Time for the current User ( when applicable ).
[/hilite]

Yeah, that plugin makes it quicker to add the EOT time in your post.

I don’t understand this one.
