A. If an existing Member purchased into a separate membership if they use the same email, then they would cancel their old subscription and would belong to the new membership. If they use a new email and have 2 separate accounts, then they would have 2 separate logins and see separate things in each members area.
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.
A. The easiest way, if possible, is in the database to temporarily make any suspended members active. Then make all the members in the membership suspended. Then from members delete to delete all suspended members. Then suspend the members that were previously suspended.
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.
