I want to offer the first month free on a monthly subscription offer. When a user subscribes, I want to gather credit card info but not have the card charged or show a cost associated with subscribing. Is this possible?

Depends on what you mean by possible. Anything is possible. You can use WFB to collect the credit card info but you better have a secure web site before you start getting into that. There is no way with CoffeeCup software to have automatic billing so you would need another solution for that. Or just bill your customers yourself every month. There are other options for doing what you want, and they can be integrated with CoffeeCup VSD or HTMLEditor. Just Google for them, or drop me an email from the site in my signature.

Your going to want to use a paypal subscription setup with an IPN to process the data.

I guess I should have clarified..I am trying to figure out if it is possible with coffeecup. I can manually process every month after the first month, if it is not possible to automate with coffeecup. Once I get volume I can set up an automated schedule. For now though, I do want to collect credit card info, but not have a charge go through on the 1st month using coffee cup.

I looked at PayPal IPN - how does that integrate with Coffeecup? I have integrated my business paypal account with coffeecup, but not sure how to integrate IPN to add the "no charge, but collect card info" functionality.

Am I going to have to get a coder involved? Is this something I have to do outside of coffeecup?

Thanks,
