Custom Subscription Length

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to set up a 7 or 8 month subscription?

Looking at the button i was wondering if simple changing rp="6" to 7 or 8 would do the job?

Also, I am curious what happens when a subscription expires, is there a message or anything like that displayed to the subscriber?

Thanks!

Check out PayPal's HTML Variables for Subscribe Buttons.
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables#id08A6HI00JQU
from that your button code would include for 7 months:
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="7" />
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M" />
Also, I am curious what happens when a subscription expires, is there a message or anything like that displayed to the subscriber?

No email message is sent out by s2Member by default. If a demoted member tries to access a protected level they will be directed to the Member Options Page.

Just to note. If you're using PayPal Standard Integration ( in other words, you're NOT using PayPal Pro Integration ), then your Customers WILL receive an email directly from PayPal at the end of their "Subscription", because PayPal will notify them ( i.e. you have a paid subscription that ended ).
