So this is both an eMember and eStore question- I wasn’t sure what forum to stick it in.
My site uses eStore to allow users to purchase a membership subscription. I want to provide the option of a digital download access to these members for an additional fee. If they purchase the access they get to download the content in addition to viewing it on the website.
Here are the requirements:
1. They should have access to the download as long as they are subscribed to a premium membership. The membership durations are monthly (reoccurring) and fixed (non reoccurring) 6 and 12 month.
2. Upon their subscription membership expiring, their download access also expires.
I’m trying to figure out how to do this. I was thinking of making a separate subscription for download access that they add to the cart. This would require multiple subscriptions. However, if they purchase both a premium membership and the download access subscription, how does the system determine which is the primary membership? They would effectively be purchasing two memberships at once.
Hi, Use the membership level to control access to a page. Then on that page you can put your digital download buttons. The following page has some ideas of how you can put digital downloads on a page (then protect that page so only members can see the page):
When a membership expires, the access to pages for that membership also expires. So you can have multiple levels in a profile. The protected pages will be visible according to which levels are still active.
The latest purchased membership is set as the primary level. We can do a customization for you so a particular level gets set as the primary level and other purchases come in as additional levels. The multiple level feature can get complicated based on how you want to use it. We have an implementation that works for a good number of setups. However, we fully realize that you can’t have one implementation that will cover all types of setups. So some customization maybe required on a per project basis.

You would use stacked membership levels, so that members can have multiple memberships.
You would protect the page, containing the Download Now buttons, so that only members with the required premium subscription can access it.
You’d then use partial content protection on that same page, so the Download Now buttons can only be seen by members with the required download subscription can use the buttons.

And for extra credit, use partial content protection to display upgrade buttons to those without the required download subscription membership addon!
As for the issue of expirations, please refer to the post by @admin.
Thanks for the responses!
If two different memberships are added to a checkout cart and purchased, how does it determine which one will be primary?
Which registration scenario are you going to be using?

The registration is a linear process. For the first method, you need to control it allowing users to purchase their FIRST item. So a profile can be setup on the site.
If you are using the other method where they setup a profile before purchase, then multiple items will all get applied to that profile after purchase. It gets added alphabetically (product’s name).
