trilbytvc 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 When I paid for a trial premium account, I planned to enroll for a three month period. However, I found I could choose one month or a full year. Can you include an option to pay for several months at a time? If so, I will upgrade my account immediately.Thanks!trilby Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 As you noticed, currently, there is only the option for monthly or annually. You can start up a monthly membership & cancel it after three months. Link to comment
trilbytvc 0 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I understand that. However, that would mean an automatic charge to my credit card, which I do not do. It seems easy enough to offer a choice of one month or several, and also an opt out for the automatic billing.Thanks!trilbytvc Link to comment

That's certainly your choice.It seems easy enough to offer a choice of one month or several, and also an opt out for the automatic billing.I don't know if it's easy or not. For whatever reason, that's not something that's offered. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted June 8, 2010 Level 5 Share Posted June 8, 2010 trilbytvcIt seems easy enough to offer a choice of one month or several,Well, let's look at the big picture to consider which is easier:The corporation's expense in rewriting their billing software to accommodate an individual who wants to pay $15 in one-shot for a 3-month membershipvs.The individual's expense to make 3 monthly payments of $5 eachTo me, it looks like the answer if fairly obvious.

engberg 89 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion. The "commerce" part of our service is unfortunately one of the trickiest things we're doing on the server, due to the combination of platforms and payment systems. (And also because that's code that you really don't want to mess up, because it involves real money and makes people really angry if you make a mistake.)This has limited our flexibility somewhat, but we do plan to add more options in the future.
