Using EOT and recurring payments

I’m providing two options: buy now (non recurring) and a financing option (monthly recurring) for visitors to buy a membership for lifetime access. For the financing option, I’m using rrt=12 to indicate the number of payments they need to pay for ie. $99/month for 12 months. This will give them lifetime access. If I enable EOT, will it stop their access after 12 months? How can I make it so that after they paid 12 installments, their access remain (without having to renew)?

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’m reviewing this thread now.

This will give them lifetime access. If I enable EOT, will it stop their access after 12 months?

Yes, s2Member will automatically demote a user unless you have turned off Automatic EOT on your installation.

You will need to disable Automatic EOT here to accomplish what you need. However, this leaves the door open for users to cancel their Subscription before they have paid for the full 12 months, and they would not be automatically demoted.

The only way you can achieve what you need here is to have a custom Cron Job. From the docs:
