Some months ago created a PayPal button short code in S2Member for level 1 membership at $7.

Last night I created a new PayPayl button short code in S2M for $19 for level 1 membership.

Sooo, my question is, will the $19 apply ONLY to new members who join and existing members at level 1 will continue at $7 per month?-(that's what I want, members who are in now should stay at $7, only new members should be charged $19).

OR - do I need to create a new button in a different level in order to achieve this?

THANKS! : )

Correct: Exisiting subscriptions won't be affected by the new button. The new button would only affect subscriptions created through it.

Thanks Cristián!

Hey Cristián - I have another question:

I have my membership site set up at, let's call it, FirstDomain.com where I have s2member installed and my membership content and such is all on that site.

But what if I want to promote that membership on a second site, let's call it SecondDomain.com, with a sales letter page there and a PayPayl button - how would that work since it's not the s2member controlled site?

Thanks!
David

Hi David,

You could generate a URL version of the PayPal button that could then be used on another site. Here's how that works:

1) Make a temporary WordPress page and Copy and Paste your PayPal button shortcode into that page.
2) Change the output= shortcode attribute from button to url. The shortcode should now look something like the following (I've truncated the attributed for this example):

Code: Select all

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" .... output="url" /]

3) Save and view the page
4) s2Member will turn that button shortcode into a long encrypted URL that you can copy and use on another site. When someone on your second site clicks on the link, they will be sent to PayPal and the checkout process will proceed as if they clicked on the button on your s2Member site.

Does that make sense?

When doing that, though, make sure you're not logged in to your account, so no info related to it gets included in the URL.

Another approach would be to create a button over at PayPal following the instructions Jason gives here: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=309&#p1333
