emember – special price for only one time per use

[sundvold]

Hi,

I have different price if you choose subsciption fot 1 month, 6 month and 1 year.

I want to do a special price as 1 dollars for 7 weeks. But if you get this paypal buy now( i thing, no subsciption), you cannot use it again after 7 days.

I may use the trial period but customer is a little bit afraid with that. Is there’s aanother solution ?

I’d like to start my response by sharing an actual “real world” version of what I think you are concerned about…

For the last 70+ years, my mother has been getting the special “introductory offer” subscription price to the Los Angeles Times newspaper. All she does is simply let the existing subscription run out, and then resubscribes using a different variation of her name and street address. The point is, there is going to be no foolproof way of preventing situations like this from happening.

The first thing you should do is create a TOS (Terms Of Service) agreement for your members. Someplace in the agreement, state that promotional memberships are for new members only and that you reserve the right to cancel a membership, without notice or recourse, if fraud is detected.

Subscriptions can only be “renewed” if the member is logged into their account. Use partial content protection to only show subscription purchases that include trials and promotions, to visitors who are not logged in.

If an existing member tries to purchase a promotional or trial membership, without first logging in, eMember will think it’s a new account signup; and will prevent them from using an existing user name or email address.

So… if my crafty dear mother were to try cheating this system, she’d have to have a supply of “burner” email addresses, PayPal aliases, and user names. Doable, but not worth the hassle for most people.
