I'm not sure if that will work for us.
If my understanding is correct, it would require we create custom fields, and every user would be responsible for logging in and updating their profile. We were looking for something simpler, with a module that we can put on the landing page that would have a simple process that looks something like:
Select 'plan' (certification type)
Enter expiration date
Verify (check out) at $0
System dispatches emails backward based on date above
In other words, we were looking for something obvious and easy. Asking users to navigate through to their profile is a bit more complex than we hoped.
We were trying to use AEC, and the developer assured us he'd be willing to make the small adaptations needed, but he fell out of bed and didn't finish the job. So now, after paying for a component we don't need, we're left trying to figure out how to get it done. This is why I'm so reluctant to spend more money without knowing for sure if we can get what we need before buying something that isn't right.
I agree - you should get someone to code your exact use case.
