Using Subscription Delays Add On for One-Time, Credit Card Required Trials

Estimated reading time: 1 minutes

TweetFacebookLinkedIn

Our Subscription Delays Add On allows you to set a variable length trial to your membership level, for example offer a 7-day trial on a monthly plan.

This recipe will remove the trial period for members that have already received the benefit. These members will immediately begin their membership, allowing you to offer the trial as a one-time offer to new members.

The Code Recipe


Adding the recipe to your website

Update the $trial_level_id value on lines 12 and 53 with the correct level ID you would like to adjust.

You can add this recipe to your site by creating a custom plugin or using the Code Snippets plugin available for free in the WordPress repository. Read this companion article for step-by-step directions on either method.
