Sales not registering in WP Affiliate

[Michelle]

Hi All!

I have integrated s2Member and WP Affiliate following these instructions: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpre ... ftware-368

And everything seems to be working.

But, when I run through a test, the sale shows up against the affiliate as a click through, not a sale - so no payout is awarded.

Using my test affiliate link I access the sales page to purchase access to a Specific Page.

I am using the following shortcode on the sales page:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button sp="1" ids="1381" exp="120" desc="Test button" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="example.com" ra="0.01" image="default" output="button" /]

The sale processes via PayPal and I'm redirected back to the Specific Page where I can download the purchased ebook.

So all this is working perfectly.

But it doesn't show as a sale in WP Affiliate. Any idea what's going wrong??

Thanks for all your help!

PS. I have posted this on the WP Affiliate forum, but thought I'd post here too in case someone else had come across this issue.

Thanks Michelle! Please let us know what they tell you over there. I'm sure they'll help you figure out what's going on with their plugin.

Ok, after HOURS AND HOURS spent testing and messages back and forth on the WP Affiliate forum with no success - I found the cause of the problem. Like most of these things, in the end it was a simple fix.

Copied below is the update I posted over on the WP Affiliate forum:


Ok, just wanted to follow up and let you know how I solved this. I think you need to update your integration guide (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpre ... ftware-368) to include a few extra steps, because after HOURS AND HOURS spent testing, it was a very simple fix.

s2Member has a very useful option of selling access to Specific Posts/Pages, which is what I want to use. To have those sales post through to WP Affiliate you need to copy the URL in step 3 of the integration guide into all the relevant fields on the s2Member -> API Notifications page, including Specific Post/Page ~ Sales Notifications.

Thank you very much for sharing the solution, Michelle! I'm going to make note of that for future reference.
