Hey guys. Is it possible to generate a coupon code for membership? I would like to give a free elite membership ($80 annually) to all book buyers. It would be really cool if I could somehow link the free elite membership signup to the book purchase so that when the book is purchased, there is a redirect to the membership signup at which point they are able to get this at not extra cost.
Otherwise, a coupon code would work fine for now. If that isn't possible with membership, would it work to just have these folks sign up as a free subscriber and from there, I could change their level in admin manually?

Hiya tutuology,
Actually, coupons are meant to be included in the next version. Development has taken longer than expected to get it ready for release but it's in the works!
That's awesome Mason! I just had a discussion with my team about basically only promoing our higher-end account as that was the one we could run coupons for (with Pro Sites). Having the ability to run promos for our other account will be great. Thank you!
Really interested in coupons, too. I can see there are a few 'coupon' scripts in the add-on folder, but can't see them listed in the add-on dashboard - is there any way they can be activated?
I'm willing to test-drive them if there are in beta.

mmm.... right now would not be a good time. SOOO much code is changing on a daily basis here we have gone forward with a complete reworking of the plugin UI (it's actually pretty impressive) but that means over the course of the day the plugin has various components being reworked. Hang in there, it IS coming.

Barry's just delivered a fresh version of the membership overhaul internally. We're gonna be doing some major testing now and aim to get it out to you all as soon as we possibly can. Trust me, the new registration forms alone are worth it - don't even get me started on the new easy setup process ;)
Then we will focus on some cool features such as coupon codes, etc it just takes time. Which is why we are currently testing/trying out no less than 7 developers at the moment. We want to see this stuff get finished as much as you guys do.
If I give you bribe money, can I start using the new code now? I'll send you debug information and valuable user feedback. I really need this feature. I don't want to use s2member pro, but my hand is being forced. Please? :)

hiya darrylschmidt,
I do understand the dilemma and frustration, sincerely. If I had code available and at a state where it would be at all useful to you, you'd have it already. :)
We will get it out as soon as we possibly can. If you have a need for this today then, as much as it pains me, we simply don't have one.
I can't wait to get this update. I was really considering transitioning to another plugin to handle membership, but I'll hold off until I see what updates you've made. Coupons/Discount codes are really important for me!

@godot, sorry the reason I can't be more clear is because I honestly can't be. Hundreds of lines of code are changing on a daily basis as the new version barrels closer to release. Give us a week? If all goes well, we'll have a new version released.
As to the coupon code function? That can/will only happen after we've got the base code updated and in members hands - again we hope to have this in a week.
@Jack, the new version is gonna allow setup a whole heap more easily than the current version. Again for everyone:
Coupon Codes is on the roadmap. We will be releasing a completely rewritten plugin in the next week (fingers crossed) Assuming all goes well the coupon code will be in an update shortly after that.
I realize development times can be unpredictable but it's nice to hear you're a week or so out. I think the easier setup is worth waiting for for my purposes. :)
So coupon codes will be in this next release (in a week), as you indicated above? Or have you changed the plan and now they will be in a future version? The story has now changed it seems. Please be clear. The answer will determine if I continue using this plugin.
Cut 'em some slack guys. I'd love to see this thing out there now too, but, BEING a coder, you can get down one path and then realize that there is some small little thing that you really need and you have to backtrack big time to get it to work right. As rapid as their update cycles are here - I'm sure they're hacking hard.

Hiya folks,
The DEVs are working on a particularly grumpy bug with the AuthorizeNET gateway. This is literally the last thing holding us up. We are really pushing for this week, but testing gateways is a laborious LONG task and we want to get this one squashed before release.
Everyone has been beyond patient. We're nearly there. Thanks.

Well, the code is ~technically~ in the plugin already. A sleuth developer could probably 'enable' it ;)
But it's not quite ready for public release, thus why it's hidden. With subscription payments it's a bit more tricky to make sure we're handling it correctly. The admin area is ready to go, but the way we handle it on the front-end still needs a bit of work.
We want to be sure we get it right. Progress is happening :)
I installed Membership Premium 3.0.1
I can see the "Simple Invite Codes" in the Membership - Options - Extras section
So: Are these the "Coupon Codes" you were talking about?
Or will there be real Coupon Codes with which I can reduce a price or get a subscription for free? Which is what I really need ... ;-)

@Emanaku, the Simple Invites are not the Coupons. Full-fledge coupons such as what is available in MarketPress or Pro Sites are coming soon.
They will allow you to create discounts by amount or percentage, set # of uses and limited time availability.
It took longer to get some of the other gateways working up to par than we expected so this feature was delayed again. It's still on the agenda though and closer than ever :)

That's great Mason! For now, I am just manually upgrading them and it's workin' for now :)

Pro-Sites already has coupon codes available. Membership will have some pretty cool ways to promote coupons for your site :) Stay tuned...
Member — 1st November 2011 (6 months ago) #
It's definitely a big PLUS having coupon feature in Membership. Thumbs up for this.
Just ... any ETR for this?

Can't wait for the coupon feature.... GoGoGo :D

Coupon codes are really a must have for any type of payment/membership module. Is there an ETA for this feature?
Member — 27th December 2011 (4 months ago) #
Any chance it will be ready in January (2012, I mean)?

@sourcev, give us till the end of the month (Jan)? ;) We're on it.

This delay is very frustrating.

I'd be interested in a coupon code plugin or functionality. I assume you'll update this thread when it's ready. Good luck on the new code!
Thanks.

Member — 16th February 2012 (3 months ago) #
Let me rephrase that -- I'm just about to implement a Membership setup on my site so I can launch. Is it worth waiting for the new version?
Member — 20th February 2012 (3 months ago) #
Hm, wish I was hearing back on this...

I'm using s2member but looking for a replacement. I'd consider this if someone would step up to the plate and actually follow the plan/promise.
