Possible to Not Include Top Plan?

Hi,

Okay, I have 4 Parent Plans that each have many children - done this way for a clean presentation.

The child plans are hidden.

The Parents are actually being utilized as place holders so they're free.
My issue is that in order for a user to purchase a child plan they of course must select the parent - which means their invoice includes the parent plan. It's included in their current membership plans in the front end, and it also shows up in the backend under "Subscriptions" which can be confusing to the user.

Is it possible to set up an auto action or query or condition that will not include (or hide) parents during the payment process?

Or if that's not possible, not include/hide the parent in the invoice, frontend, etc?

On the Pricing tab of your parent plans you can try setting "Payment item text:" and "Payment processor item text (short):" to blank, _UE_BLANK, or maybe even  . I believe this may remove the name of the plan from the invoice page, but the row will probably still show (didn't test it). You can remove the plan from profile by using CSS (use firebug for firefox to inspect it for its CSS class/ID).

Parent plans are not categories however and really shouldn't be used as such. The best approach is to just style your subscriptions using CSS to make them more visually appealing as a user must have the parent plan in order to have the child plans.

Hi Krileon,

Okay, I'll give it a shot.
Perhaps in future releases, placing plans in categories, such as in my case could be considered. I'm sure I'm not the only one that needs this kind of feature.

Cheers
