Coupon code - 60 days free

[mochajen]

With our site finally live (thecoffeenetwork.com), we're looking to convert some free registrants into paying members. We're going to email the registrants and offer a free 60 day trial membership using the Upgrade form. I understand the Upgrade form needs to call/allow coupons but I'm unsure as to the exact coupon shortcode that will let two months pass without a charge but on the third month charge the regular amount.

Ideas?
Thanks,
Jen

You'd have to set those months that could be discounted, as an initial period in the pro-form's shortcode. Then the coupon can defined to apply to the initial amount only like this:

FREETRIAL|100%||ta-only
WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Shortcode Attributes -> ta

I hope that helps.

If I set a trial amount on the Level #1 pro-form to 2 months won't it just give everyone 2 months? How do I set an initial period but only let the coupon code access it?

Do I simply replace:
ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="25.00"

with:
ta="0" tp="2" tt="M" ra="25.00"

Or will that give everyone 2 months?

If you change the ta (trial amount) from 0 to something higher, then it becomes an initial amount. So if you normally charge $25 per month and the initial term is 2 months, you can charge $50 for them and then $25 monthly.

ta="25.00" tp="2" tt="M" ra="25.00 rp="1" rt="M"

Does that help?
