Mod to restrict content to paid users

[craighere]

Thanks for your help. I've looked at subscriptions and they aren't what I need. The problem is that the interface is not user friendly for a new user. I am going to have people purchase several different self help program, each of which includes access to forums specific to the program they purchase. So I need a way for them to purchase their program and gain access to the forums. Telling them they have to sign up on the forums, go to the user control panel, go to groups, and then choose the subscription, and then make the payment is not an option for a sales campaign. People are already nervous spending money online, and won't go through such a complicated process when they want to purchase a program.

I am trying to figure out how to streamline it so people can accomplish their purchase in one step, which is the only way it will work. If they have to then register for the forums after they make the purchase that is OK, but it can't be a three or four step process for them to make the purchase in the first place.

I hope that makes sense. I've been looking for about a week now and it is looking like there isn't a solution. That's why I am trying to figure out some kind of custom mod, to see if I can have someone make one for me.
