About: Hamid

Andrew, I found it… please see code below.

In my member’s option page I have some conditions to qualify the user’s member level. In this example if a free member goes to the member’s option page, he/she is presented with a custom Paypal button to upgrade to Premier. Normally the button would appear under the browser window (making it non-visible to the user unless they scrolled down). The s2member generate code looked like this:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal@domain.com" />
 <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
 <!-- Instant Payment Notification & Return Page Details -->
 <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.domain.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.domain.com/" />
 <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.domain.com/?s2member_paypal_return=1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2" />
 <!-- Configures Basic Checkout Fields -->
 <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="" />
 <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="www.domain.com" />
 <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
 <input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="paypal" />
 <input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8" />
 <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Upgrade to Premier Member for only 79.95" />
 <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="2::1 Y" />
 <!-- Configures s2Member's Unique Invoice ID/Code  -->
 <input type="hidden" name="invoice" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_VALUE_FOR_PP_INV(); ?>" />
 <!-- Identifies/Updates An Existing User/Member ( when/if applicable )  -->
 <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_ON0; ?>" />
 <input type="hidden" name="os0" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_OS0; ?>" />
 <!-- Identifies The Customer's IP Address For Tracking -->
 <input type="hidden" name="on1" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_ON1; ?>" />
 <input type="hidden" name="os1" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_OS1; ?>" />
 <!-- Controls Modify Behavior At PayPal® Checkout -->
 <input type="hidden" name="modify" value="1" />
 <!-- Customizes Prices, Payments & Billing Cycle -->
 <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="79.95" />
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="src" value="BN" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="srt" value="" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="a1" value="0" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="p1" value="0" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="t1" value="D" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="79.95" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="Y" />-->
 <!-- Displays The PayPal® Image Button -->
 <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_xpressCheckout.gif" style="width:auto; height:auto; border:0;" alt="PayPal®" />
</form>

To fix this I did the following:

Step 1: I added the following style to my theme’s stylesheet (namely, style.css)

.movebtn { margin: -600px 0 0 0;}

Step 2: I edited the s2member’s Paypal button code as follows:

<p class="movebtn">
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal@domain.com" />
 <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
 <!-- Instant Payment Notification & Return Page Details -->
 <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.domain.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.domain.com/" />
 <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.domain.com/?s2member_paypal_return=1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2" />
 <!-- Configures Basic Checkout Fields -->
 <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="" />
 <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="www.domain.com" />
 <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
 <input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="paypal" />
 <input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8" />
 <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Upgrade to Premier Member for only 79.95" />
 <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="2::1 Y" />
 <!-- Configures s2Member's Unique Invoice ID/Code  -->
 <input type="hidden" name="invoice" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_VALUE_FOR_PP_INV(); ?>" />
 <!-- Identifies/Updates An Existing User/Member ( when/if applicable )  -->
 <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_ON0; ?>" />
 <input type="hidden" name="os0" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_OS0; ?>" />
 <!-- Identifies The Customer's IP Address For Tracking -->
 <input type="hidden" name="on1" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_ON1; ?>" />
 <input type="hidden" name="os1" value="<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_VALUE_FOR_PP_OS1; ?>" />
 <!-- Controls Modify Behavior At PayPal® Checkout -->
 <input type="hidden" name="modify" value="1" />
 <!-- Customizes Prices, Payments & Billing Cycle -->
 <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="79.95" />
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="src" value="BN" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="srt" value="" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="a1" value="0" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="p1" value="0" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="t1" value="D" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="79.95" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1" />-->
 <!--<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="Y" />-->
 <!-- Displays The PayPal® Image Button -->
 <input type="image" src="/images/upgrade_to_prem_v2.gif" style="width:auto; height:auto; border:0;" alt="PayPal®" />
</form>
</p>

Notice I enclosed the button code in the

<p class="movebtn">

and I change the images src to a custom image instead of Paypal’s default button.

I hope this helps.

Andrew, my website has gone through so many custom modifications and themes that I can’t remember “exactly” what we ended up using. I cant remember if it was a theme issue or not, sorry for the vagueness, but if I remember correctly, we used something like this in the style.css stylesheet.

.movebtn { margin: -200px 0 0 0; }

then we found the page that was displaying the Paypal button and added this .movebtn class to Paypal button style. For example, if the Paypal button had

class="s2member-pro-paypal-submit s2member-pro-paypal-checkout-submit"

we added the movebtn class to the end it like so

class="s2member-pro-paypal-submit s2member-pro-paypal-checkout-submit movebtn"

Again, sorry for the vagueness but I hope I shed a little light on the problem.

P.S. If I can dig up the css style I used, I will post it here. Or if you send me your url of the page in question, I will take a look at it.

Hello JD

Are you talking about canceling the recurring payments? If so, I remember reading something about this in this forum.

Go to your Dashboard >> S2Member >> PayPal Pro-Forms >> Paypal Pro Billing Cancellation Forms

Basically it says you should supply your members with a cancellation form by using the shortcode:

[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form cancel="1" desc="This will cancel your account. Are you sure?" captcha="0" /]

s2member takes care of the rest (behind the scenes) once the form is submitted.

Thanks Bruce for your reply. Just knowing it may be a few months before the next release helps a GREAT deal in our ability to move forward with an alternative or “temporary” solution.

I have to admit I was up until 3:00 am last night looking for other membership plugins that would accept Stripe. There are a couple out there but they don’t stand up to s2member. Fortunate or unfortunate depends which side of the fence your standing :)

Going Pro might be the best solution for us for the time being, even if it ends up costing us $180.

Thanks Frank for your reply also. I knew that you could use cc with Paypal without creating an Paypal account but we had modified some code to allow paid members to upgrade to higher-level subscription at a prorated fee (based on the remaining days of their current membership)… so yes, it is subscription based.

Oh… Bruce your word just registered in my mind. Do you mean if we removing the recurring charge option, members would be able to use cc without setting up a Paypal account?

Going to test now…
