Complete a Free QCMM Checkout

A free Plan—or a checkout whose final amount due is zero—does not need a PayPal order. QCMM still performs the normal membership finalization work so the result is a real subscription with auditable history.

Complete the Free Checkout

  1. Choose the eligible Plan and sign in or complete guest activation.
  2. Enter every required customer Custom Field and review the order summary.
  3. Confirm the final balance due is zero.
  4. Submit the free checkout. QCMM uses its zero-balance path instead of creating a PayPal order.
  5. Open the member Dashboard and verify the resulting membership and any related booking.

What QCMM Finalizes

  • The subscription record and its start/end/lifecycle state.
  • The applicable billing/history evidence even though no external payment was captured.
  • Subscription-specific Custom Field snapshots.
  • Plan-assigned Joomla group access where configured.
  • Applicable Meeting booking state when the purchased Plan includes scheduling.

Zero Balance Is the Trigger

A Plan can reach zero because its price is free or because the resolved checkout amount is fully covered by applicable adjustments. QCMM decides from the server-calculated amount due; hiding a payment button in the browser does not make a paid checkout free.
