Ability To Offer No Credit Card Free Trial?

[leevh]

Hello, I am very interested in Blesta for my upcoming small SASS business, but there is one feature I need that I can't seem to find much info on or solutions for - even in Blesta competitors.  I'm looking to allow people to sign up a quick account (NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED) and receive their free trial site.  After the free trial is up they can come back and choose a payment method if they want to continue.  The no credit card/payment method part I think is the kicker - I don't want any mention of payment up front to scare people from trying the product.  Is this possible that anyone knows of?

 

I've been searching and found a couple threads, but nothing with enough info to convince me that I can do it without asking for any kind of payment information:

from the blesta core feature is not possible . Have you some skill in developpment ?

if yes you can do it , what i can offer as a help is the step you need to go .

1 - add your 2 packages , one with 0$ as price , second package with your disered price .

2 - create order form and exclude any payment gateway from it , also some change in the template to remove any thing related to payment option with cc/ach .

3 - create a plugin that has a cronjob , to search any activated service today with the package ID = xx (the free package) and change it to package ID = yy (the payed package) .

4 - clone the offline payment gateway , and change the name and contant , the name make it "Activate my Service" , and the content add in it something that tell your client the service was recieved and will be ativated in some minutes , if you want the service to be activated without any accept from admin side, change that from the gateway cloned .
