Private Web Page when Purchase a product

[Dgalassi1792]

I am building a website for a client. She is offering a virtual online class and when people purchase the class, I want them to login to their APWT account and be redirected to a particular page. That page would then contain the embedded video and links to the class documents on it. She'll be offering a few different classes - each one needing its own landing page so that people can access the classes they pay for.

So, as new classes are offered, I'll need to figure out how they will have access to the specific course landing pages as they purchase those classes. Can you tell me your ideas... so when someone purchases two classes, they login to their APWT account and somehow find the two links to the two classes they purchased to go to for viewing the class material.

Thank you for your help with this!

This is sounding like the AllProWebTools Membership WebTool! Quick question, does the customer pay for the class up front, or is it a recurring cost?

[Dgalassi1792]

The class is paid for once and that allows them access to the private page. There is no repeating payment, so I'm not thinking of this like its a membership, but that doesn't mean its not implemented like a membership.

What you are asking for is the membership system. I have added a feature in the next version, 4.4, that allows you to set a non-recurring membership which will solve your current dilemma.

If your client would like to implement this system before the new version is released you can make a membership product that recurs every 365 days and you can change it to a non-recurring after we release the feature.

Great! But, one more clarification. Can I create a separate page (or pages) for each membership product? So that I know that certain pages are only available if they've purchased that product. Thanks for all this!

Yes you can!

1. Go to Website->My Webpages and select the page you would like to work on
2. Click on the Members Only tab
3. There should be a list of your memberships with a checkbox next to them
   
   • If you do not see this list, make sure you set up a Membership Product first
4. If you check a membership level, then this page will only be visible to those members
5. To be able to see the page, your customer must:
   
   • Be logged in to your website
   • Purchased and has a currently active membership

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thats helpful! Thank you! Last question.... if we have the product defined as a product right now, and there's been sales of that before we create the membership product - how can we transfer those buyers to the membership product so that we transfer access to the membership? Is there a way I can mark a user as a member or do they need to purchase the membership product?

Thank you again for all your help!

They will need to purchase the membership product to be marked as a member, but that can still be done.

What will happen, is you will create an order for the customer, and you can discount the membership product so that they do not have to pay for it again. You can even put in the order notes once it is created why it was discounted and reference the order number where they did pay for it earlier.

The next piece, would be to adjust their renewal date.

1. Go to Reports->Sales->Memberships
2. This is a list of all your members. You can click on the table header that says Name to sort the whole list by name
3. Find the customer you need to update.
4. In the Next Charge column, adjust this to the correct date that this customer will have to renew their membership
