If I add someone manually or use an invitation to bring them into my forum, can I set a limit on how long they have access? ie 3 months and then they would have to get a subscription? I know I can offer a coupon to interval billing, but I’m trying to keep it a bit simpler than that since they woul…

I think it would be possible if Discourse Automation had as a script the ability to add/remove from groups. I’m not sure why that hasn’t been added as a thing it can do. This would also solve another recent request where someone wanted members added to group A to also be added to group B. But maybe …

I would like to “give” them access when they book a consultation package or purchase a digital download, but restrict the duration. And when it expires they would have to move to a paid subscription.

Can you create a 3 month paid subscription with a $0 fee that only you can enter?

I think Subscriptions has a free trial option that may be of some use? Actually, possibly not as that may require card information to set up, which may not be what you’re looking for. :thinking:

[image] I realize the coupon has to do with making payment to stripe - but it’s still a coupon for discourse, isn’t it?

Yes, it does seem to require everyone to enter a card # unless I invite them directly. But by doing that there is not option to set a time limit. @Stephen – No, they are not buying a discourse description. It’s really simple – they hire me for a consultation package at several hundred of dollar…
