Step 8 ) I have created two Membership Levels for you to see how it works. You can manage the following Membership Level’s and Promote them to what ever level you select from the drop down list. You also have the option to promote to a different level after a certain number of days after the Subscription starts.

It also allows you to Enable Automatic Upgrade Email Notification. This will send an e-mail to your members letting them know that you have changed their Membership Level.
