Recuring Payment with Specific Page

[paulson_101]

I am having troubles here, I really need to be able to bill someone every six months using the specific page option.

Basically the customer pays to access the specific page, which lets them get on a mailing list. But I want to charge the customer every 6 months to remain on the mailing list.

so its not a membership thing, I also do not want allow access to the page after they have entered there info on the paid page. (or they could just send the link to all there friends)

anyway to make specific page/post billing occur every 6 months??

Hi Paul.

No, Specific Post/Page Access can only be single-payments, not recurring. Can't you set up what you want using Capabilities?

WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Custom Capabilities

Ok so I watched the videos, but I am not 100% sure if it will be able to do what I want:

have a single page protected from access,
unless paid for through paypal.
that page is available for 1 day.

however the payment of 29.99 is recurring every 6 months, without access to that page again.

The thing is that you set the expiration to 1 day, then it won't re-bill after 6 months...

What you could do is create the page to sell this, require a capability to even load the page, and then put the content inside a condition that checks payment time was within the last day, the PayPal button would be a subscription that charges every 6 months and gives Level 1 with the capability you chose.

WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Using Simple Conditionals

I hope that helps.

So basically I create a membership level 1.
Require 6 month recuring payments to access this page.
Then as a conditional, you can only access this page within say within 24 hours of the most recent paypal payment?

Something like that, yes, the time of payment for Level 1. Actually, Level 1 may be enough, without the custom capability. Yep, read the documentation and you should be able to figure it out.
