What you’re requesting Euan is that our module change a member’s group based on a purchase? If so, what we’re talking about is permissions, rather than what I think most people would think of as a subscription. That said, our subscriptions system does include a method of attaching permissions to a purchase. Our module doesn’t change a member’s member group at any point… but we do have a built in system to set permissions, which, in my opinion is better, because you don’t need to create member groups for every last thing… you can get really granular with a person’s access based on the permissions they’ve purchased.

{exp:cartthrob:add_to_cart_form 
    
return=""
entry_id="123" 
permissions="1|2|3"
    
}


<input type="submit" value="Add to Cart" />

{/exp:cartthrob:add_to_cart_form}

I am trying to sell access to member groups.  Will Cart Throb suit me?

Basically I am selling online courses.  A customer makes the purchase and it needs to give them access to a member group.  ie: purchase course A this changes your member group to member group A

Is this possible?

The next function that would be nice but not mandatory is subscription to this member group.  Sell access to a a member group of a set period of time.  It doesn’t have to rebill, it will be a one time fee for a set period of time.  ie: access for one month.

I believe this can be achieved using the Simple Commerce Module (http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/modules/simple_commerce/index.html)

the more I look at this the more the new subscriptions module looks better.

if a customer purchases 2 courses A and B, I can only give them access to one member group.  Subscriptions uses permissions so I can bypass the member groups limitation.

I also need to use a payment gateway not supported by simple commerce.
