Fixed term membership site & customized PayPal button?

[Jacquesblom]

Hey guys,

My membership site is almost up and running.

I just want to know whether I can make the subscription fixed term. (Say every month for 4 Months and then the billing stops.)

The other thing is, I want to know if I can host my PayPal button on a differrent domain than the s2Member site. I would also like to have a differrent PayPal button image.

Hi Jacques. Cool! I wish you success with it.

Yes, you can use the Recurring Times (i.e. a fixed number of installments) shortcode attribute. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Buttons -> Shortcode Attributes (Explained) -> rrt

Yes, you can do it with the image attribute. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Buttons -> Shortcode Attributes (Explained) -> image

I hope that helps!

I saw the user can't have acces to the content after the billing has ended anymore. Is there a workaround? And, can I host the button on a differrent domain?

Thanks so much!!! I will defenately reccommend this to everyone!

Oh, yes. Can I posibly make users go to a specific page after purchase. Not this one: http://www.domain.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1

And if I set the recurring billing term to 4 months, will those months include the trial month?

You can change the EOT behavior so the access remains instead of demoting the accounts. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Automatic EOT Behavior

You can host the button image from another domain, I tested this and worked.

s2Member Pro adds the success attribute for the button, that lets you specify where to take the person after checkout. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Buttons -> Shortcode Attributes (Explained) -> success

I think the initial/trial term is not included in the recurring terms.

Thanks for the kudos! I'm glad you're liking s2Member.

Hey Cristián,

What I did, is I took the URL link from the button, and then I put it on another website. When I did the payment it gave me an error after I paid, saying: "Unable to modify" or something similar.

It definitely works if I purchase it through the button on the original site.

What to do?

Could you post the shortcode here?

[Jacquesblom]

Thanks, I already fixed it. I found another post on this forum.

When my site is up I will give you an update

Hi,

I am a little confused and would require specific instructions. I want to set up my paypal button in a way such that there are 2 payments of $97, first payment when they click "buy" and the next 1 month later. I also want my users to have unlimited lifetime access. How do I enable it?

I am not sure if disabling the EOT is the right thing to do as this would mean any refunds/chargebacks would not change the user's level to a free subscriber. At the same time, I am not sure if I should be placing my rrt=1

This is what I have currently but I think it isn't right. Please do advise!
[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Bronze Member / description and pricing details here." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="fbmasteryintensive.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="0.01" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

Hi Darren.

Something like this:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="..." ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="fbmasteryintensive.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="97.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="2" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

And you'd set the auto-EOT behavior to No so they don't lose access after the second month, but you'll need to take care of demotion/deletions manually for those that cancel/refund. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Automatic EOT Behavior -> Enable

I hope that helps.
