Experimenting with Subscriptions

Hello!

I just wanted to share how I am currently experimenting with subscriptions and paid accounts/management for Fluent Community.

The idea is to have a paid course for users that can signup/purchase and be smooth sailing.

Currently, one of the main things is tracking subscription management/cancellation on the users' side.

All I am using is Fluent Forms Pro for payments, Fluent Community, and then Fluent CRM for the community course automations.

Here is how I have ideated this process as of now.

The life cycle is the following:

User clicks a button to pay, get the fluent form (pro), they enter their details for their user, go next, and enter their card details.

Once they subscribe it will say thanks and redirect them straight into the portal.

Within the portal, I have added a link to the profile dropdown that will direct them to a page and allow them to manage their subscription.

This is using the Fluent Forms Pro shortcode for managing payments "[fluentform_payments]".

If they go ahead and cancel their subscription, I have some function code checking the database table scheduled on a cron job to then change their user role within Wordpress if its been changed to "canceled" (to a user that does not have community access). I hope to build on this and add more logic/handling.

If you all have any advice/recommendations, please let me know! :)

Hope this helps someone or gives them some sort of ideas or sparks!
