Hi, Robert

You are correct.

We currently don't have any way to set up recurring payments in Amelia, such as a Membership feature.

A Membership feature will be developed as a part of the Developer license (maybe even as part of the Pro license) in the future, but I can't say an exact ETA on it.

For the time being, I  can only suggest a workaround. 

For example, you can set up a Membership plugin, I believe some of them have a recurring payment feature built-in, and some can be combined with WooCommerce to set up users to pay for certain Membership levels. 

Then, you could use the "User role Editor" plugin to create additional user roles, only for certain customers. With the Membership plugin, you could limit access to certain pages for certain user roles. 

For example, a custom role "VIP" would have access to page 1 where you can place a shortcode for a free service/package offered for them. 

Then, another custom role "Level 1" would have access to page2 where [ameliacatalog package=2] is placed, which would have different prices, and so on...

Here are more details about our Package feature.

Let me know how that sounds, and if you have any questions. Thanks. 

Hi, Rob

Sorry for a late reply.

Certainly, we will do our best to implement our Membership feature as soon as possible,

since we already have a number of users who have requested it.

I am just not able to promise any realistic ETA,  since there are a lot of unpredictable factors that can postpone the development of this particular feature,

but you can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like, where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc,

then you will see when we announce it in the newsletter, 

 or state this new feature in the changeLog, when it is finished.
