Ark Site : How to join as Member/Trial Member/Program Participants

1. Joining Member Area via Online Shop

Go to :/online-mitgliedschaft

A user needs to subscribe to an online membership package via the Site Panel Online Shop. Once subscribed, they will receive a Welcome Email with Login credential to the Member Area. 

Whether a joiner will become Member / Trial Member / Program Participants / Online Coaching participant, it depends on what type of packages he/she joined. 

Admin can configure and assign a role to the package so that when a person joined, this role is created for this joiner and both will be saved in the Members database.

Remarks : Login Credential is automatically created and sent to the Joiner when they join any Member Area packages online.

2. Email Invitation for Trial Members

An existing member can generate an  email invitation to a friend through their profile page on Member Area. This email contains a magic link that allows this user to access Member Area for 4 weeks. The duration starts when the user clicks on the magic link and he/she always comes back to this link when accessing Member Area. 

For Trial Members, only magic link is generated ( no login credential) 

3. Changes of Roles 

Changes of Roles are allowed, but only through subscription of new packages via the Online Shop, done by the joiner himself.

Below are scenarios of how a role can be changed to another role :

1. Trial member can become member / program participant when they subscribe to online shop package (configured for converting user to member / program participant )
2. Public user can become trial member/program participant/member when they subscribe to online shop package (configured for converting user to trial / member / program participant )
3. Program Participants can become a member when they subscribe to online shop package  (configured for converting user to member )

Remarks : One user/email can only have one role at the same time.
