    Default Changing a customers group to membership status

    I am trying to find a way that a customer can purchase a membership to my site and then get upgraded to a membership status where they won't get charged for any products they order.

    I know I can do it manually but I would like to get it done automatically.

    Any one know of a add on that can do this either free or paid ?

    Thanks in advance.....

    I don't think there's a module available for what you're asking, although it can be done with some custom programming. I've done something similar a few months ago, but the request was very specific so I haven't packed it or prepared as a standalone module, sorry...

    Twitch Wholesale or Twitch Category Restrict (both free forum plugins) would work for this purpose. Read through the details of each module to see which suits your membership structure.

    Are you sure, Twitch?
    The reason I'm asking is because customers are supposed to purchase their membership, which I'm assuming will be time limited. And, if time limited, usually members would be notified before membership ends and asked if they want to extend it.

    I'm pretty sure your modules could do the trick doing everything manually (customer buys a certain product, admin assigns him to wholesale group which gets everything for free, 3/6/12 months later admin manually removes the customer back to standard group). However, that can be done even with Group Pricing and using a 100% off group - problem is it's a manual process which the OP is trying to avoid.

    Am I missing something here?

    Well we've finally hit the 'automation' discussion. Yes it's possible, automating it will take some planning, coding, coffee and time/money of course.

    We should start with a feature wish list...?

    Yeah, that's what I thought... Just I said in a previous reply - will need some custom programming. I know because I already did it for one of my clients and was quite confused when I saw you saying it could be done with some existing free modules...

    It seems no one has the time to put the free ones together with this one without hacking it all to dysfunctional bits...
