Hello, I am trying to find out on the redirect short codes I read in the documentation, do they go inside the Pro Form short code section as stated, or is there a special way to implement?

I appreciate the info.

What redirect shortcodes? Could you past a quote from the documentation or point me to it, please? Thanks!

Hey Cris,

This was actually found in your page. I am just trying to redirect the customer to a thank you page then auto redirect to an account login page. But this is where I seen the redirect info.

Is there a way to force a custom redirect after a successful purchase?

Yes. You can add the following attribute to the Shortcode for your Form. Like this: success="http://www.example.com/thank-you.php". s2Member will automatically redirect Customers to the URL you specify. s2Member can also add query string parameters, supplying all sorts of information about the transaction. Please see s2Member -> PayPal® Pro Forms -> Custom Return URLs on Success. This also works with Pro Forms for Authorize.Net®.

Ah, you mean the success shortcode attribute? Yes, that'd take the person to the URL you specify after checkout. This is an s2Member Pro feature. Works with the pro-forms or the PayPal buttons.

Yes, can we do the same thing for declines?

Just curious. Thanks.

Hmm... You mean if the card is declined, show him a certain page when PayPal returns him to your site?

Yes, I use Authorize.net and use S2 Member Pro.

Thanks

Got it. I don't know if it can be done. I emailed Jason about it.

Thanks for the excellent question.

Sorry, no. While it IS possible to handle redirection in a custom way on success, it is NOT possible to do this when an error occurs, s2Member handles this with error messages sent back to the Customer, at the top of your Pro Form integration.

That being said, you CAN Filter the error messages if you like.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

Code: Select all

<?php
add_filter ("ws_plugin__s2member_paypal_api_response", "my_s2_errors");
function my_s2_errors ($response = array ())
    {
        if (!empty ($response["__error"]) && !empty ($response["L_ERRORCODE0"]))
            {
                if ((int)$response["L_ERRORCODE0"] === 10422)
                    $response["__error"] = "Transaction declined. Please use an alternate funding source.";
            }
        /**/
        return $response;
    }
?>

* For a full list of error codes, please check the /paypal-pro-api.pdf file, which is included with the s2m-pro-extras.zip file, available for download inside your account at s2Member.com.

Thanks Jason. I appreciate the info.

Keep rockin!
