eMember – Free option for a Paid Membership

[Greg_Salyer_13]

I am using eMember to setup a site for a Non-Profit. They have some members that get complimentary (free) membership to the normally paid (Gold) membership level. I really don’t want to use multiple membership levels. How can I do this?

There are 2 options, discussed here:

Thanks, however I don’t think these options will work for me. I neglected to state my “Gold” membership is a 1-Year membership. I was hoping that I could just edit the member to set a “Never Expires” option. I don’t want the free member to have to do anything.

You should create a new membership level that has all the access and time duration as you want it to be then assign that level to this user.

A membership level is a template. Create as many as you want (with the different tweaks) then you can assign it to the users accordingly.

If you want to privately invite a user to a paid membership without that user having to pay, then the following should help:

This is a lot of work and simply adds complexity for the 6 free members.

If I did this the membership would still expire in a single year, correct?

I have read several posts also wanting to be able to just modify a members expiration date. That would make this easy as I could just set a date way in the future for these members.
