Cool.

I'll mention that request to Jason, I've seen it needed before too.

Thank you Cristián, then this is what I will do for the time being. I would be very interested in learning of any update Primo makes to the s2member plugin which allows a dropdown which affects more than one field (i.e. term and price). Thank you again for your help

Yes, if you create a separate button for each option, it won't be a problem.

Thanks for your reply Cristian,
Ok as an alternative, if I generate two different button shortcodes through the s2member paypal button for level #1, one for monthly membership at £7.99 and one for annual membership at £47.99 and place them on membership options page with explanation, will this work as far as paypal is concerned?

Thanks beetle,
Will have a look

Beetle is right. You'll get that error if you configured PayPal to use encrypted buttons, but then don't have your button encrypted. s2Member has a setting for this here WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> PayPal Account Details -> Enable Button Encryption

Regarding changing the options for your button, I don't know the code you have now does the trick, let us know after you try without the encryption error.

The dropdown will just normally just change one field, but your options affect more than one field: amount and how often. You will need JavaScript to adjust the form dynamically based on the choice. This post by Jason may give you some ideas viewtopic.php?f=36&p=1342#p1342

If you need help to get this to work, you can find developers in freelance website, http://jobs.wordpress.net for example.

I hope that helps.

You can use the s2Member Pro-Forms for PayPal without PayPal Pro. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Pro-Forms -> Quick-Start Guide For PayPal Pro

*PayPal® Pro is NOT Absolutely Required* s2Member is very flexible. It is now possible to integrate Pro Forms without a PayPal® Pro account, whereby the enhanced Form Shortcodes that s2Member provides can be integrated ONLY with PayPal® Express Checkout. In other words, if you get declined for PayPal® Pro service, you can still use s2Member Pro Forms. Ask PayPal® to activate Express Checkout for you. ( it's free ). Once Express Checkout is enabled, you will have access to your PayPal® API Credentials. Log into your PayPal® account, and navigate to Profile -> Request API Credentials. You'll choose ( PayPal® API ), and then choose ( Create Your Own ). Now ... here is the tricky part; whenever you generate a Pro Form Shortcode with s2Member, be sure to change accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo" to just accept="paypal"; thereby excluding the on-site credit card processing functionality; which is available only with PayPal® Pro.

hi,

i'm not an experienced user but I remember seeing that if you have enabled encrypted payments through paypal you need to have checked the "Enable Button Encryption?" option in your Paypal Options > Paypal Account Details tab.

Paypal Button Drop Down

2011-05-27T06:14:57-05:00

Hi there,
I hope you can help me. I have searched through this forum and found a couple of threads which go some way to answering my question, but as a coding novice I still need some advice...

I want to create a Paypal drop down selector to allow customers to pay for membership either monthly £9.99 or annually £47.99 (I would put in 6 monthly if I could, but it seems that Paypal & s2member don't allow this?) for the same subscription type. I generated the Paypal code, which is hosted by them (I can't change this in stage two of the papal button creation process - it's greyed out):

Code:






Payment Options

And inserted the following text...

Payment Options

into the s2member button:

Code:

 














Payment Options

This displays really well:
paypaldropdown_img.jpg

but when I click on the button it returns this message on the paypal url:
paypalresult_img.jpg

Please advise. Really not sure how to work this and desperate to get it up and running (need explicit instructions as a coding novice please).

Thanks in anticipation,
Trae

NB: I am running WP 3.1.3 and s2member 3.5.8 (Theme is Dynamix)
