Upgrade to level question

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a paypal button to upgrade a level0 member to level1.
I set an amount for the first year and another for a recurring, but when I test the paypal button only shows the recurring payment...
And the idea is an amount for the 1st year of level1 and another for the recurring others.
Many thanks

Could you please post the shortcode you generated for the button?

Here it is:
- Code: Select all
[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Utilizador Premium / Acesso total ao conteudo." ps="paypal" cc="EUR" ns="1" custom="www.xxxx.com" ta="49" tp="1" tt="Y" ra="4.90" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" modify="1" image="https://www.paypalobjects.com/pt_BR/BR/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" output="button" /]
Many Thanks

The shortcode looks OK to me, I even tried it and the description of the membership in the PayPal page was correct, it did mention the recurring details.

That's exactly what I need.
In my case when I login as a free member and click the paypal bottow to upgrade from level0 to level1 it shows this:
What can I do
Many thanks

I don't know why it does it differently for you. Could you show me the URL to the page where your button is?

Can I send the URL by PM ?
I had already generated a button (Button Code Generator For Level #1 Access) before the upgrade (level0 to level1) one an in that one the paypal amounts are correct.
What happens if a free member click the Button For Level #1 Access, did is account will be upgraded automatically to level1 ?
Or do I have to use the generated on the Button Code Generator For Subscription Modifications ?
Many thanks

No, you'd use the Level 1 button. Modification refers to the PayPal subscription, which the free user doesn't have yet.
You can email me the URL from this contact form

I answered your emails, and you mine, we exchanged a few today. In the last one I told you I'd let Jason know so he can reply here when he's around. Like I said in the emails, I found that modify 1 or 0 in the HTML form for the button causes the change in description over at PayPal but I don't know if that's the intended behavior, a PayPal mistake or an s2Member bug. Let's wait for Jason to reply here, but I don't know how long he'll take, hopefully he'll be around tonight.

Hi Cristián,
I'm sorry I didn't understand you well.
Let's wait in that case for Jason's answer.
Many thanks!

Hi Cristián,
Did Jason already take a look on this issue ?
Many thanks!

He did write to me about it yesterday, I just had not gotten back to you yet, sorry about that.
Jason Caldwell wrote:This is a bug ( well sorta ), that was corrected in the development release.
When you send a Customer to PayPal with a Modification Button, they will NOT see an Intial/Trial amount, even if they are currently a Free Subscriber. This is how PayPal works. If the Button is a "modification" Button, PayPal assumes the Initial/Trial is void, and instead only displays the Regular Recurring amount/period.
This was improved in the latest development version, in that s2Member is now capable of detecting a "Free Subscriber" who is attempting to gain access through a trial period. In that one specific case, s2Member will automatically turn off the "modification" behavior, so that a site owner does not become confused, and for the sake of the Customer as well.
Anyway, this is complex issue. The solution to his problem, is to set
modify="0" in his Shortcode.
s2Member will still update the existing account. So no worries there. It's just the
modify="1" approach sometimes has negative impact on the checkout experience over at PayPal.

I hope that solves your problem.
