Prepopulate Members

[kevan]

I hope this makes sense....

I am adding members to my site myself, I will then send them an invitation and as I create their accounts, I am granting them level 1 access ( a step above the free membership, which allows them to view some restricted content). The way that I've set up the membership with PayPal, if a member where to set up an account on their own, it would cost $30.00 and provide them with 30 days on a recurring plan.

Ok, so here's my questions.
-It will probably be several days before I send out the invites, since I set up the subscriptions, will the members still loose their privileges after 30 days, even though they didn't actually go through PayPal? Also, would the EOT rules still apply and does a automatic notification go out to alert the members that their term will be ending. I'm sorry this is sort of scattered and I thank you for taking a moment with this.

Hi Kevan.

No, users won't receive a notification that the EOT is gonna happen. When you create the accounts, you can enter the EOT time yyyy-mm-dd in their profiles, as well as the Level 1 role.

To create the accounts in bulk, if you have s2Member Pro, you can use the import tool. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Import/Export -> User Import

Does that answer your questions?

Thank you for the incredibly quick reply. I didn't realize that I could set the EOT on creation. I saw in another thread that the free version doesn't send out EOT notices...Does the pro version send them?

You're welcome.

No, Pro doesn't send reminders either, at least yet. Jason may add that soon.
