Making sure I set it up correctly

Hi,

I just bought S2Member, and am in the process of setting it up. I’ve gone through most of the tutorials, but would appreciate it if I could check to see that I was setting it all up correctly.

What I would like to happen on my site:

I want to offer a 1 week free trial at Level 1, which basically has full access. If they don’t buy, then they get bumped down to Level 0, which has restricted access (but still lets them keep an “account” with me so they don’t have to remake an account should they decide to eventually purchase). If they do buy within that week, then they get bumped up to my Level 2, which is the paid subscriber level.

The way I did this through the pro form Free Registration Form. So my questions are:

— The upgrading and downgrading are automatic, right? I don’t need to worry about this.
— I don’t have Paypal Pro. But I am still able to use this Free Registration Form, right?
— But because I don’t have Paypal Pro, I can’t use the other Pro Forms. I instead need to generate a Paypal button in order for people to purchase my Level 2 subscription.

Yes, that is correct. If you’ve implemented a Free Registration Form that provides access for X number of days/week/months/years, then a demotion would occur automatically. This is accomplished with the tp="" and tt="" attributes in your Free Registration Pro Forms.

Example: tp="1" tt="W" would provide 1 week free. After the 1 week, they’ll lose access automatically, unless they’ve upgraded during that time. See also: Video » s2Member (Free Registration On Multiple Levels?)

Yes, that is correct.

Correct. Actually, you can use Pro Forms even without having a PayPal Pro account.

Thank you!
