Offering a discounted first month is a great way to incentivize your customers to sign up for your community plan. In this article, we'll go over a workaround to help you accomplish just that.

Because coupons apply on every renewal, we will create a course product in tandem with a community plan with a free trial to achieve this goal.

For this workaround, we'll use an online course as a means of gathering the first month's payment.

Simply create a course and price it at the amount that you'd like to collect for the discounted month.

For example, if your community plan is $100/month, but you'd like to offer the first month to be discounted to $50, you would price this course product at $50.

Next, you'll create a hidden community plan. This plan will only be available to folks that have the direct checkout link to it.

Once the plan is created, you will copy the direct checkout link to the hidden plan to share inside your course.

You can add this URL into a button inside a text section in your course, along with some language indicating that there is "One last step!" to finalize their registration.

And voila! Your customer will be paying that discounted price for access to the 30-day trial period!
