free member access question

[leonellfp]

Hi,

Let's suppose I have a free member, that do not want to use paypal and pay thrum bank transfer.
If I upgrade manually from level 0 access to level 1 can I set that user to access only for a year time ?
I reminder could be set ?

Many thanks!

You can set the EOT (end of term) manually in his profile, yes. To create a reminder you'll have to use something else though, like a list server that has email dripping (autoresponder sequences), where you can schedule emails.

I had set a value for the first year and recurring payment for the next ones, but some users prefer to use other payment methods.

I have create manually those users or upgrade their free subscriptions to level1, and if do not set any value for the EOT time, what happens with the recurring payment after the first year ?

I hope you understand...

Many thanks

Well, since you're being paid by other methods, how you manage those recurring payments is really under your control. I don't know the particulars of how you manage the payments for those users. Since s2Member is not configured with an IPN that notifies it of changes to the subscription, any changes to the account in the future will be up to you to edit.

So its better for those cases to set manualy the EOT time, and at the end of the time the user must renew their subscription by making a new payment.
Could be like this ?

Many thanks

Yes, that'd be the way with offline payments or other payments through gateways not integrated to s2Member.

Ok, Thanks!
