Free Trial with Coupon, but Non-recurring

Postby eatlocal » January 4th, 2012, 12:47 pm

How can I set up my pro form so it does not have a recurring payment? Right now I'm offering a coupon to specific members who get one year free. I don't want them, or regular member to be rebelled after a year. I tried adjusting the code so it is one time only, but then I can't apply the coupon. here is my current code:

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="1" ccaps="" desc="1 Year @ $55.00 / then $55.00 USD / Yearly ( recurring charge, for ongoing access )" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.landshareco.org" ta="0.00" tp="1" tt="Y" ra="55.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="1" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]

Thanks,
Jim

You will probably need to make a separate pro form for users that have a coupon code. You cannot use coupon codes to give free access as of yet, as far as I know.

Hi Jim,

Bruce is correct in that you cannot use coupon codes to give free access. From the s2Member documentation on the Pro Coupon Codes page:

s2Member will NEVER allow the Regular Billing Rate ( or Total ) to be less than: $0.01.

If you want to offer something 100% free, please use a Free Registration Form instead.
Either that, or you can offer a Free Trial Period in your Shortcode.


So, an alternate solution to using the Coupon Codes feature of Pro Forms would be to create a Free Registration Form that gives someone 365 days of access (this is done by adding the tp="365" tt="D" to the Free Registration button shortcode; see more on WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro Forms -> PayPal Pro / Free Registration Forms).

Then, to limit access to that page you could provide users with a "coupon code" that would be required to access the 1-year Limited Free Registration page.

See this thread for more information on how this would work: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16176&p=54466#p54503

(You could simplify the process explained in that thread by creating an HTML form that allows them to submit a coupon code and then use PHP to check the coupon code and then redirect them to the page with the free registration.)

Does that sound like it might work?
