How to add product for member (PRODUCT MANAGER plugin )

Update: Click here to see the how-to guide for version 2.04

Adding a Product

1)     Click on the Product Management Plug

2)     Click on Add Product Categories from the menu.

3)     Add a product category…….

Enter category name and the listed tags. Select which memberships to make the product available to and add an image and description.

You can leave the upper and lower content blank for now

4)     Now you need to add a product to the category.

Click on Add Products

Remember to select the category from the drop down menu before adding the product.

Complete the requested details, product title, author and description etc.

Add either the  Product URL (include http:// at the start) from where the product is going to be available for download, or upload it from your hard drive. Do the same for the reseller, ie, either add the URL or upload the file.

Select the reseller rights from the drop down menu.

As you can see above, you can set access to the product by date. Choose either a set number of days after registration or a set date. For immediate access set a date before the date of adding the product. (New in v 2.02)

This is the new powerful drip feed feature that allows you to control access of your membership content to your members. For example, you may not want new members to have immediate access to ALL the content you have added to your site. So you can set “Number Of Days After Registration” that a user can access your content. This will prevent new members joining for one month, downloading all the content and then cancelling.

Or you can add a product and set a date in the future for it’s access. This means you can add future content, set it and forget it and take a long holiday, if you wish. Your membership site will continue to add new content for your members in your absence.

5)     Now make the product active by clicking on Manage Products, check the box and click “Active”.

6)     If you have created, as we have here, a new category also, make the Category active by clicking Manage Product Categories, check the box and click “Active”.

Your product has now been added.
