2 Payments for 1 year access?

[daxcastro]

Our site requires a rather large membership fee because the membership is more about the club than the site content. I would like to be able to give the option for the user to pay in 2 installments, but with a deadline.

Example....

Pay half now and the rest by January 1st. 2012

Any thoughts on how I might be able to come up with a work around?

thanks in advance.

You might could make the trial until then. You might could create a variable in the shortcode, which would control the time of the trial. This could be done through the PHP $_POST function in the button to get to the page with the signup ( or the PayPal button ).

I can't find the post right now, but there's one floating around here with the instructions for this.

I agree, the trial/initial amount could work for this.

Here's the thread that talks about variables in the shortcode: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604

You can calculate the time left until Jan 1st and use that as the initial period.
