Prorating Packages

    I may not be doing this right but we want to accomplish the following:

    Customer signs up for a promo package with coupon code
    Package contains regular billing item at regular rate plus a credit worth the amount of discount for that promo
    We then want that credit item to automatically expire 3 months later

    The first problem is the packages aren't allowing any time credit, they always come up with 0 time credit.
    The second problem is the items are non-expireable, in other words it looks like you can only make an item expire AFTER it's already been added to someones account.

    Any better solutions?

    Packages should allow time credit, since it's just a sum of what's on it. Do any of the products within the package have time credit?

    As far as the expiration thing, you are right, it's a per customer thing. If it's a quarterly plan, I suppose you could have a "setup" fee that was a negative amount of the credit or something.

    Yes, each of the 2 items in the package were just taken directly off the list of existing products, each with time credit.

    What if you add a package manually from the normal GUI?

    Shouldn't packages using the web interface come into Optigold worth time if the items used were also selected from the same list that the GUI uses or is that an issue?
    Thanks.
