    Just wondering what other sites using this script do when a payment is started, then not paid i.e. pending.

    I get a lot of people who go throught the payment process but don't pay. Guess they are curious.

    Do most of you delete the pending payments, the new member or both? I mean, is it worth keeping them in the database if they have no intention of paying?

    I recommend to clean this up sometimes using aMember Cp -> Delete Old Records.

    Thanks. What about the membership itself? I could delete the pending payments, but what about the memberships that are created when the user signs up then does not pay?

    Regards.

    Remove everything. If they come back, they will create new accounts - it is easy :)

    Removing Inactive Unsubscribes

    How can I delete only pending who have selected the option to unsubscribe? This would let me purge out inactives that are no longer members, but still invite others back who have indicated they still wanted to receive mail from me.

    Best,

    Justin

    Unfortunately, there is no ability do that.

    I'll try having the auto-respond feature tell them to join a mailing list on my auto-responder, that way I can purge pending accounts without losing someone still interested in receiving information from me. Perhaps it could be a feature in the future, but right now your program is versatile enough to work around this.

    Best,

    Justin

    Justin,
    upcoming aMember 3 will be even more flexible, because it has special newsletter subscription features. Please watch on this forum next week, I hope it will be also helpful for you and this task.
