I don't see many people bothering to sign up for a free trial if they still have to go through the paypal process...It makes it look too much like a service you have to cancel or you will get charged..I know its with $0.00 dollars but still. Also below is what I am using to do the free trial..Its a Promotion and not a subscription.

Now setup a promotion that changes a user's group (ends the trial) after a period of time. You can do this in your:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Promotions -> Add New Promotion

Use these settings:

Usergroup = Registered Users
Reputation Comparison Type = Greater or Equal to
Days Registered = the length of your free trial
Promotion Strategy = Join Date
Promotion Type = Primary Usergroup

Move User to Usergroup = choose a usergroup that doesn't have access to the restricted features

Now when a user has been registered for the amount of time you specified, they will have their trial access taken away. To get access back they will need to purchase a subscription in their User CP.

Anybody got any more help on this for the counter - Now that my thread has been taken over? :nervous:

I could simplify it by making it so it said your 90 day free trial expires on : DD/MM/YYYY by having something like ($joindate + 90 days) = DD/MM/YYYY in a conditional, but I don't even know how to that. Anybody?
