Seylerg Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Hello everyone, (some context) I am almost ready to launch my new private Community using Invision Community. I understand how to make different member groups and tiers of subscribers, but I would like to do a slow or silent launch that allows me to have members sign up for the regular-priced subscription, for example, $49 per year, and these people will be known as "Members." At the same time, I would also secretly (not available to the public) like to offer 250 subscriptions to friends and friends of friends for a special price, for example, Free for one year, then $19.99/year. We will name these members "Original Members." (I know how to set up the subscriptions and attach them to the members type.) Important to Note: I am setting up this Community to be totally private unless you are a subscriber. Non-subscribers will not have access to anything. My Question Where I need help is... How can I only list the regular "Member" subscription for the public to see and still somehow invite 250 friends to participate and have them subscribe using the special "Original Member" offer? Ultimately, I would love to be able to give them a code, send them a link, or some other option to access the special "Original Member" Subscription pricing without that plan being public. Let me know your thoughts or if I need to clarify my thoughts. Thanks
Marc Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I cant actually see any way in which you will be able to do this unfortunately, as they would both be guests when they attempt registration, and its actually a different subscription you are offering these people. The other issue you have, is if you are using subscriptions rather than a normal product, you couldn't even allow it to only one group, even if you do it once signed in.

I am now playing around with creating memberships using products instead of subscriptions. This looks to be a better option because then I can limit the stock of the Original Members to 250. Just to confirm, after stock runs out and their free term is up, say after 1 year, they can renew at the set-up renewal rate regardless of stock, correct? Also I can force the 2 different plans on registration and once the stock runs out on the Original Members plan I can hide it from the store an registration correct? It also appears that by having them choose a membership product, I can attach them to specific groups, is this also correct? I have been paying for this platform and working on this site since May of 2021, and I am so close to launching and excited. Just need to work out the membership and payments portion - Your help is greatly appreciated Thanks

You can force them to choose, yes. Then you can hide the other if needed. 1 hour ago, Seylerg said: It also appears that by having them choose a membership product, I can attach them to specific groups, is this also correct? Yes, you can indeed do that from the products settings. Either by adding a secondary group,or changing their primary group
