Is there a feature to add paid subscription? So a user must make payment before they are given membership? If so then is there a way to set a subscription period which expires and requires renewal?

There is no automated way, but you could use Form Builder to create your registration form and then sync that into Access Manager and set an expiration date on their account.

Ok. I already have form builder. How would i sync to access manager? And would a user be able to specify their username and password and have this write to the .htpasswd file automatically?

And request a password reminder still?

The client would have no ftp access.
Thankyou

The process is not automatic. What I would do is post your form results to MailChimp (CSV file also works). You then bring that into Access Manager and set your permissions. Once set, you publish that to your server. You can also send a welcome email though Access Manager.

Password Reminders would also require a form, but you would have to manually process the request. It would not be automatic.
