Ryan,
We are considering adding a ‘product chaining effective date’ that will allow you to specify exactly when you want the specific product chaining rule to take effect. By default, it will be set to current date.

If it’s a paid product, then the subscription payment notification will always come in referencing the old product name. It cannot be automatically transferred or Applied-To the new product every year.

Is it possible w/ this to create a product that is a 1 year membership (Product: Year 1)…the customer is dripped content for 1 year…and then when this period is over they are automatically signed-up for another 1 year membership (Product: Year 2)? I have been hoping for a feature like this so instead of customers signing-up for a limitless membership they sign up for an automatically renewed 1 year package of lessons. New customers can then choose what year to start at and I have more control over the lessons and a defined end to the membership (whatever year I stop creating lessons).

Right. It’s one level deep.

Otherwise it can get very complex and hard to troubleshoot.

How many levels of product chaining? looks like one level deep, right?

I love the concept of add and remove. I for one hate it when after I purchase a product and still receive promotional material for the same product as if I never made the purchase.

This certainly will be great for my customers. Thanks for the great upgrade keep up the great work.

Fern,
It’s a good concept but not something we are supporting because this will result in a scenario where free customers that upgrade after say 4 months have access to ALL the content on day 1 of their upgrade while other paid users would have paid for 4 months to have access to the same content. It will not be a fair deal for the paid customers who have been paying monthly for all those months.

The access start of the chained products will be the date they upgrade and will not (and ideally should not) match the access start date of the product they currently have.

Brilliant! So the scenerio below will be true:

A client signs up for a free ad-supported membership version on my site labeled Product A, in the back ground simultaneously they are registered for Product B (paid ad-free version of Product A), but does not have access to it yet.

Product B is only keeping pace with Product A so if a client is 3 weeks into A then they’ll be 3 weeks into B. The client doesn’t receive any content access or email drips from B.

When a client decides to upgrade to Product B they’ll be in the same chronological position in their membership only with the ads removed making the upgrade seamless and invisible to the client.

If the client downgrades it reverts them back to Product A at the same position they were in right before the cancel.
