Hi Jason Chris,

I have reached the end of my test phase and I’m am seriously considering implement
Paypal Website Payment Pro.

The issue I have is transaction receipts, If a user registers and subscribes for a paid subscription
via S2Member they will get a email receipt (details of order) from both S2Member and Paypal.

If a user registers as a free member then upgrades to paid subscription they will get a
WP login details email and Paypal receipt.

As my enrolment requires users to register first then select their subscription modules prior
to upgrade, if I upgrade to Paypal Website Payment Pro (which does not send email receipts),
how will users get a emailed receipt for their purchased subscription.

In addition Paypal standard sends an email receipt for each subscription payment deducted, is
there a way to set S2Member Pro to send and email receipt for each subscription payment?

And finally, just in case I didn’t mention it S2Member and S2Member Pro ROCKS!!

Many thanks

Thanks for the kudos, Peter!

About the email, have you seen this panel? WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Signup Confirmation Email (Pro Form)

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for the speedy reply. I previously read the page you suggested and the first
sentence reads:

This email is sent to new Customers after they successfully complete a PayPal® "Pro Form" submission on your site.

Which would suggest existing members (ie, members who signup as free members then upgrade)
would not get such emails.

Let me know.

Kind regards

In addition using Paypal website pro does S2Member send an emil to the user
if their card is about to / has expired?

Many thanks

I see, I'm not sure about subscription modification emails. Have you tested this? You could use the Notifications API with a custom script to achieve it, if not possible with the confirmation email.

About the card expiration notice: s2Member doesn't record any card information, just forwards it to PayPal for processing, so it should be PayPal the one that sends that email, but I don't know if it does.

Hi Christian,

Many thanks for your reply.

I can see you guys are mega busy so I'll just get my
swimsuit on and dive into the api's.

Kind regards
