create an additional paid option to level#

Hi –

I am setting up a member site for a non-profit which has a few levels of membership but they also want to add the option (to each of the levels) to click a radio button to add a $16 newsletter to their membership.

This would be an optional charge on top of the membership level. Is there a way to do this? Or do i have to make a separate level with that option included (i.e.: level #1, level #1 + $16 newsletter, level #2, level #2 + $16 newsletter, etc etc )

Also…my client has a fairly detailed database that i will be importing – but my question is this: some of the fields that she has are not necessarily fields that a person registering for membership would fill out. There are fields which include how an existing member has paid (including checks that have been sent in) and she’d like some of the custom fields to be managed by her as a kind of internal database – but not necessarily filled out by the member. A place in the user’s profile that she can enter such info.

Is there a way to create custom fields that are used for internal administration?

thanks for an info you can give me!

Hi Lisa.

You could use a code similar to the one I suggested here for different payment plans: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/registration-form/#post-20040

You may want to modify it, because your use is different. Instead of giving a different level, it’d add a custom capability and change the total price to pay and description, for example.

You could create custom profile fields for these. Just make them hidden during registration and in the profile, the admin will still see them, but the user won’t.

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks Cristian – it does help! You said:

ok, so let’s say a person purchases membership and adds their info in the paypal form… will that info (like their address, phone, etc that is required to charge a credit card) be transferred to their profile? Or do they have to re-enter all of their info when they are re-directed back?

No, that information is for the gateway to process the payment, and is not stored by s2Member in the profile. If you want those fields in the profile, then you need to create them: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields[/hilite].

The user will need to fill those too for them to be in the profile, unless you create a hack that populates them at the same time the user fills out the information for the payment (“use same address” thing you see in shopping carts for billing and shipping addresses).
