Pay 3 months for lifetime access

[rbranson]

I have looked and cannot find answer to this question: I want to set up a payment plan for lifetime membership but don't see how to do that. E.g., three payments and then the member gets lifetime membership.

Specifying only a set number of months to charge a subscription is not possible yet, not with s2Member or with s2Member Pro.

Some of the gateways integrated with s2Member support that, but s2Member cannot be configured to work this way yet. For now, "Buy Now" is the only way to accomplish this (charge only for a set period of time, but in one payment).

Until this feature is implemented with s2Member, there is a way to accomplish it with PayPal Standard. If a site owner adds a hidden input value to the Full Version of their PayPal Button Code, they can control how many times a recurring payment will be processed by PayPal.

srt (Optional) Recurring times. Number of times that subscription payments recur. Specify an integer above 1. Valid only if you specify src="1".

Then make sure your Auto EOT Behavior is disabled to leave the account unchanged and he'll keep the access. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Automatic EOT Behavior -> Enable s2Member's Auto-EOT System

I hope that helps.

Thx Christian,
So if I substitute Paypal button code within S2, the plugin will pick the new member up?
I'll see if I can find answer, but just in case.
