PCI Compliance (Simplified)
What does it mean to become PCI Compliant? The short version (simplified) It means you’ve paid a security scanning company (such as McAfee® Secure or TrustGuard®) to scan your server routinely; and that you address any security vulnerabilities that your security scans reveal.

Levels without incremental access
We’re sometimes asked how it’d be possible to use levels but not give incremental access to the content. Normally, a user would get access to content restricted at his level or below. You may want to sell Level 2 but not have that user accessing Level 1 content. Custom capabilities would be better than levels in these situations. http://www.s2member.com/videos/A2C07377CF60025E/ That …
Amazon S3 and CloudFront link expiration
S3 s2Member tells S3 to expire the link after 24 hours automatically. In most cases, the download begins and ends after a single request, so 24 hours is more than enough time for a customer to connect to the file and begin downloading the file.

There may be times when you need to have the ClickBank order button in a site other than the one where you have s2Member protecting the content. In those cases the button shortcode will not work, and using a regular ClickBank button won’t integrate with s2Member to grant access to the content after checkout. s2Member now uses digitally signed URLs …
Free user review/approval process
We’re often asked how new user registrations could be reviewed before they get access to the site’s content when the registrations are open to anyone. WordPress doesn’t have an account activation process, but it’s possible with s2Member to do something that may be just as useful. Instead of having your content protected at Level 0 for registered users, which is …
iDevAffiliate® (s2 Commission Tracking)
iDevAffiliate® (an affiliate management portal), installs in just minutes, and can be integrated seamlessly with s2Member. We recommend iDevAffiliate® (Standard Edition is fine) because of its proven track record, and its ability to integrate with s2Member® using a variety of techniques. The most popular being a Hidden Image Tag (aka: Simple).
