Offer an incentive to your customers to purchase a new Membership or Package. Now you can discount the first payment or payments for a number of billing cycles. Once the discount period is over, the Membership or Package goes to the full price for remaining payments. Set the discount amount and number of billing cycles it will apply to on the Membership Settings and Package Settings pages.
