Subscription price based on date

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to setup a subscription so the price is $30 and then after a certain date it goes up to $40? Sort of like a late registration penalty.

Thanks,
Josh

After a certain date, no. After a certain duration, yes. For example you can have your first time duration (please see Pricing tab of your plan) set to 1 week. Then set your initial duration to 1 month. You can then have two prices for each duration. Once the 1 week has expired the user can continue their subscription at the new price and duration (initial). For what you're wanting I recommend disabling the plan once it has reached the date you're wanting manually, copying it, then editing the copies price and make it available.

Thanks for the reply.

This is for a school group. The way they do it now is they charge $30 if you sign up in August. Anytime after August it goes up to $40. So I think your suggestion would work.

Another question I have... everyone's subscriptions should expire at the end of July. Is there a way I can set the duration of the subscriptions to expire on a certain date independent of when they start? That way if someone subscribes in November their subscription will still expire in July of the next year?

In this case I recommend creating your plan as you want it and setting its price to $30. Then use the Copy feature and edit your copies price to $40. Then disable new subscriptions for the $30 plan. During August enable new subscriptions for the $30 plan, but disable new subscriptions for the $40 plan. This would give you the desired affect and will require minimal management per year.

Sorry, no. You currently can not specify an exact plan duration or exact expiration date. We're discussing such feature implementation however. Currently you must select from a drop-down list your plans duration. You can use CBSubs SQL Actions to perform a query and adjust a users subscription date however after they subscribe.
