CB Paid Subscription registration flow

Hello, i'm trying to achieve this registration flow, can you let me know if it's possible?

• I have 3 plans with 3 different prices but they are basically the same, all users are moved to the "registered" usergroup
• Users wihtout a valid subscription can't login (but users with an expired subscirption can). I have seen that this is doable and already done it (i've set an expiration grace period of 10 years so i don't care if someone pays for 1 year and the login for the next 9).
• I need to approve users before they pay the subscription,

The last point is the one i've trouble with. I need:

1. User A register to the website witouh payin anything. It should not be able to navigate the website while logged in.
2. Administrator receive a mail and choose to enable the user A
3. User A receive a mail with something like "an administrator ha enabled you, click here to pay for your subscription"
4. They click the link and they go to the payment form (via credit card)
5. Once the subscription expires (31th december of every year) they can decide to pay again to be subscribed util the next 31th december or to ignore it and do not register again.

Is this possible somehow?
Thanks!

User A register to the website witouh payin anything. It should not be able to navigate the website while logged in.

Ensure "Allow Free Registered Users (without subscriptions)" is set to "No" within CBSubs > Settings > Global. This will prevent their account from functioning if they don't have an active subscription.

Administrator receive a mail and choose to enable the user A

This should already be the case if you've enable registration approval within CB > Configuration > Registration. If you want approval to happen before payment you'll need to set that under the Workflows tab of your plans in CBSubs > Plans otherwise they'll pay and have to wait for you to approve them.

User A receive a mail with something like "an administrator ha enabled you, click here to pay for your subscription"

It should already notify them that their account has been approved. You can customize that email using CB language overrides functionality shown below. It'll ask them to pay their plan selected during registration on their next login attempt.

They click the link and they go to the payment form (via credit card)

There's no functionality for that. They'll be asked to pay on their next login attempt.

Once the subscription expires (31th december of every year) they can decide to pay again to be subscribed util the next 31th december or to ignore it and do not register again.

You'll need to use a By Calendar Year duration if you want it to start and end at specific dates within a year.

Nice, thanks! I totally missed this setting:

If you want approval to happen before payment you'll need to set that under the Workflows tab of your plans in CBSubs > Plans otherwise they'll pay and have to wait for you to approve them.

Now it's way easier to to this. Thanks again

Sorry, last question: is possible for the moderators to enable users directly from the email with a link? Or at least have a link to backend that points directly to the user that need the activation?
Thanks!

You could modify the email using a language override to add a link to the frontend user moderation page. Suggest creating a Joomla menu item with the menu type of Community Builder > Moderate User Approvals then add that menu link to your email. See the below on how to use language overrides in CB.
