Extending a recurring membership as a gift

We use s2Member to run a podcast site. Currently we use recurring payments, via PayPal and Stripe.

We like to give free memberships when a subscriber becomes a guest on the show. I’m trying to figure out if there’s an easy way to do this.

Basically, it would be nice to snooze select people’s paid renewal by a year. Or make their next renewal $0. But between s2, and the merchants which themselves own the recurring payment contract, I’m not sure if this is possible.

The end goal is just to give a bit of free membership away, so perhaps there’s a more clever approach we’re not considering.

Would greatly appreciate any advice any of you might have. Thanks!

No way, because of payment processor - recurring payments can not be changed, can only be stopped. Easer way is to refund the exactly user manually.
