Best way to distribute coupons for a trial subscription?

Hi All,

First off, love the Membership Pro plugin! :slight_smile:

On the coupons question, what I’d like to do is offer a coupon code to a particular group of people to sign up for a free 30 day trial membership on my site. But the problems I’m having are:

– Coupon code box appears at top of the available subscriptions page;

– Free trial subscription box shows up on available subscriptions page

I don’t want the free trial to show up in the list of options; I’d like this group to be able to go to a specific page which allows them to sign up for the free trial, and then enter the coupon code.

Is this even possible, and if so, how?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

    You can set the subscription to be a private one and it won’t show on the registration page – Click on the Make Private link underneath the relevant subscription to do it.

    Hiya, just going through some of the older threads here.

    As it’s been a little while since we last heard from you I thought I’d check in to see how you’re going?

    If you’re still looking for some further assistance with this thread then please feel free to reopen the thread or of course for any new and related issues you are most welcome to open a new thread.

    Thanks.

    Hi Ari,

    I posted a lot of questions that day and consequently forgot I had posted this one, LOL!!!

    Anyway, I understand about making the subscription private, but I want the people who have a coupon code to be able to enter the code somewhere at the time they register.

    So it would work like this (ideally, LOL)…

    – I give certain people a coupon code

    – They visit the subscription page, enter the code, fill out their information

    – They become free trial members for x amount of months

    Another idea I had about this is to put the coupon code registration form on a separate page so they wouldn’t mix with the standard paid subscription offerings. Is it possible to show one subscription page for one kind of level and the regular one for everyone else? I could just give out the link to the coupon coded one to certain individuals.

    Let me know your thoughts when you have a moment?

    Thank you! :slight_smile:

    I am having a similar issue and I think I need more explanation about how the coupon function works. I want to offer a free 30 day trial membership but capture the payment info for the membership to charge on the 31st day for the next month’s membership. How do I do this with the membership plugin?
