[SOLVED] Time Limited Subscription Plan

HI

I have a use case where the client operates an 'Annual Plan' that is available to purchase between 1st January and June 30th and a '6 month plan' that is available from 1st July to Decemvber 31st.

Is there any way that I can control the display of the plans to coincide with these dates so that there is no confusion about what plan is available at what time?

This applies to initial registartion, upgrades and recurrences.

Cheers

You maybe able to apply a static condition against the current date. Under the workflows tab you'll need to condition against constant value [cb:date format="Y-m-d" /] using date conditions. Aside from that there's no time limited plan access.

So to understand right, your plan is only during last 6 months per year (6 first months without plan/activity), and can be purchased only first 6 months of year ?

Or is there a second period of year in first half of year that can be purchased only second half of year ?

No. Sorry that I am not being clear.

In the first 6 months of the year the visitor can purchase a plan at £100 that runs for the whole of the calendar year.

After July 1st the price drops to £50.

I figured it would be easier to have two separate plans as I though adjusting the price at mid year would be problematic.

Then I discovered the issue of only wanting to odisplay the £100 plan until June 30th and the £50 plan thereafter. Does that make more sense?

You could adjust the price mid-year using a promotion since they can directly have publish up and date. You'd either decrease or increase the price as needed in your date range.

Actually, you can have a single plan, and a promotion that has a condition on date.

This has been successfully done for multiple discounts in the past (e.g. 3 discount periods as the year gets shorter).

Here is a thread about that successful implementation:
