Hi Ken, Thanks for this. I guess I've just gotten lazy as I need to complete the project I'm currently working on this Thursday and I was hoping to use an existing package for this functionality. I was just going to create 2 separate pieces of content (hackish I know) and use a custom view and perhaps workflow to display the right one to user. This is the game plan at this stage, quick and dirty.
As an aside, I've just about completed my pay-for-subscription package which incorporates Remember and PloneGetPaid. It also allows users to not only register with the site and be whisked away to pay for their subscription but also to renew their subscription. Currently its designed specifically for PayPal but it shouldn't be too difficult to get it going with Google Checkout and really any payment processor - it just specifically displays a 'buy now' button to the user when they first logon, but there's no reason the user couldn't instead be redirected to the checkout page or whatever.
