Membership with Donation

Hi,
I want to allow level 1 access to my site for a donation (without specifying an exact amount).

Can you please explain how I would do that?

As a feature request, I'd like to determine membership based on the amount given...
ie- $1-99 donation = Level 1 access, $100-499 = level 2, etc...

Thanks!
I'm so glad I purchased this!!!

:)

Thanks for purchasing s2Member Pro.

This is supported by s2Member Pro, but it requires a little hacking.
You will need to install the Exec-PHP plugin for WordPress first.
Then, you can insert your PayPal Pro Shortcode, like this ( with a PHP echo ):
Code: Select all
[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="1" ccaps="" desc="$0.01 USD / One Time ( for lifetime access, non-recurring, no trial )" ps="paypal" cc="USD" custom="www.example.com" tp="0" tt="D" ra="<?php echo $_GET['amount']; ?>" rp="1" rt="L" rr="BN" /]

The relevant portion here, is this part:
Code: Select all
ra="<?php echo $_GET['amount']; ?>"

So now you can create links to your Form, that look something like this:
Code: Select all
http://example.com/checkout/?amount=10.00
http://example.com/checkout/?amount=20.00
http://example.com/checkout/?amount=30.00
http://example.com/checkout/?amount=40.00

As a feature request, I'd like to determine membership based on the amount given...
ie- $1-99 donation = Level 1 access, $100-499 = level 2, etc...

This is NOT possible yet, even with s2Member Pro. I'll accept this as a feature request though.

I have a client who's asking for exactly this type of capability, right now... am I lucky enough that you've added this to the latest version, yet?

Except for the need to allow user-specified donation amounts, S2Member looks perfect for our needs!

Hi there. Thanks for your inquiry.

Sorry, not yet. FYI: This technique is also possible with Buttons. There is another thread covering this topic, you might find this information useful, as it outlines how to achieve this using the technique I described above. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1604
