A.
The option to order the membership does not appear automatically. You have to add an option for it. To add a new billing option when logged in as the admin go to "Manage Billing" and there you can add a billing option and specify which membership it is for. The default setting is it automatically adds the order button to the bottom of the page /admin/order.php. You can also position the button anywhere in the order page, or in any other editable capture page, by using the ~~ code specified for the order button.
A. There are different ways you can create billing buttons. The easiest option is to use the ~~ code in the WYSIWYG editor. The ~~ code for each billing option can be found on the manage billing page (/admin/managebilling).
Go to manage billing and find the billing option you want to add and get the ~~ code for the button. For example: ~orderbutton10~
When editing a page put that ~~ code (exa: ~orderbutton10~) where you want to add the button.
A. To put the button (~orderbutton1~) on the order page you would paste the code ~orderbutton1~ where you want the button to appear. I'm not sure what you mean by dynamic. If you mean that you want the payment to go directly to the member then you would need a pro system, with the commission tracking plugin, with direct payment turned on, and then you would link to the join page and payment to the member is made AFTER they create an account (a key difference as direct payment works opposite from a normal system).
A. A member cannot belong to more than 1 membership. Instead, you can setup so each membership has different content.
Then make the membership that the member upgrades to include all the content from the member's original membership.
You can do this by setting up content groups and attaching them to content.
A. Yes, you should add a button.
How you set it up depends on if you are giving the software away for free or charging Members for membership.
If charging, then you should link to
/order and you should setup buttons under "
Manage Billing".
If free, you should link to
/join.
If you are tracking referrals you should add
/~username~ to the end of the links when placing them in pages throughout the system/site.
NOTE: If you prefer, you can open a support request for us to setup buttons for you.
