I apologize if this question is somewhere here. I tried the searches and could not turn up what I'm looking for.
We are moving from a previous paid membership community. I have a free membership which gets auto added to the PBYOptins Aweber list. (Works great!). I have a paid membership which gets auto added to the PBYMembers Aweber list. (Still need to test but assume it works fine.
I asked my paid members from the previous site to sign up as new free members here (so they'd get their username, password and affiliate account all made at once). Free since I don't want to charge them again. I assumed I could use the "promote" or manual change of their membership level to move them into a paid membership access tier.
When they sign up as free members, they got auto added to PBYOptins. If they would sign up as paid members they would be added to PBYMembers.
So here is the question: Which way of promoting them to the next level do I need to use to ensure that they are auto-added to the aweber list for that tier? If I just go WP eMember -> Members -> Manage Member -> Edit Member -> and set Membership Level to the new level, will this work?
Second question: I understand that if a person is on subscription and they cancel their subscription their membership status goes into unpaid/suspended. However, I'd like to make a plan that is x$/month for 12 months and on the completion (successful payoff) they get lifetime access. I know I can not promote a subscription plan onto a static plan since paypal would not understand that. However if the payment plan successfully finishes without a cancellation, will the individual remain active or become unpaid/suspended?
Thank you!
Kimberly
