Membership – selective use of coupons (discount for specific membership level)

[pauley13]

Hi there,

I’ve seen a number of posts here about this, including an answer to a related question from me – but I still can’t quite work out how to apply all these different suggestions to my particular situation. Not unless I start messing with PHP which I suck at. lol

So, is it possible to do the following (or similar):

– Above or below the product list, I want to place a reminder that members can get discount coupons appropriate to their level

– So non-members will have to pay full price, with no coupon option

– Free members can click to see coupon code for SPECIFIC products (i.e. not “all”)

– Some products can be given “free” others at discount X%, other with NO discount.

– Premium members – exactly as above – but just using different coupon codes

Is this possible?

I have seen suggestions about creating duplicate products, just priced differently, but with a large product list this will be extremely impractical for me.

(I have eStore, eMember and Affiliate, by the way)

Thanks and sorry if this question has already been answered but I just can figure it out…!

I think using emember’s section protection to show/hide the discount coupons to appropriate members could be a good solution for this.

I will try to give a simple example use case then you can tell me if it will work for you.

Lets say you have 3 membership levels and you want to give discounts as following:

1) Free Membership (ID 1) – No discount

2) Silver Membership (ID 2) – 10% discount

3) Gold Membership (ID 3) – 20% discount

You can create two coupon codes. One will offer 10% discount and the other will offer 20% discount.

Now use something like the following just above your products list (it uses emember’s section protection)

[emember_protected for=2 do_not_show_restricted_msg=1]

You are a silver member. You can use coupon code "SILVER" to receive 10% discount.

[/emember_protected]

[emember_protected for=2 do_not_show_restricted_msg=1]

You are a gold member. You can use coupon code "GOLD" to receive 20% discount.

[/emember_protected]

Now, when free members go to your products list page, they see nothing. When silver members go there, they see the message for the silver membership level and so on.

Here is the documentation for section protection feature:

I think this will do the trick nicely. Thanks a lot!!
