Free Accounts

[nasal69]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to set up a monthly membership on a forthcoming site whereby people will pay a fee monthly which will enable them to loan as many products as they wish. Is this possible?

I was thinking of setting up an account (like a retail account) but placing the price reduction as 100% therefore making the price of the products £0.

Does this make sense and is this possible.

This is my first site and I am learning as I go but this is a key feature that my client wants to offer (the business is for a book rental company).

Thanks for your help in advance,

Neil

What you describe sounds like the ideal solution.

Best thing would be to create a customer account for each person shopping at the store. That way you can 'Suspend' accounts when they do not pay the subscription in order to stop them being able to order any more products.

See the Advanced User Guide on p62 for instructions on 'Allowing customers to register for accounts online'.

Thanks a lot Chris.

I will give it a go when I start compiling the site (sometime next month) and let you know how I get on.
