2 payments – no recurring?

Hi Adam.

You can do that editing the subscription button’s rrt attribute. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> rrt[/hilite]

rrt=”” Recurring Times ( i.e. a fixed number of installments ). Only valid w/ Membership Level Access. When unspecified, any recurring charges will remain ongoing until cancelled, or until payments start failing. If this is set to 1 or higher the regular recurring charges will only continue for X billing cycles, depending on what you specify. This is only valid when rr=”1″ for recurring “Subscriptions”. Please note that a fixed number of installments, also means a fixed period of access. If a Customer’s billing is monthly, and you set rrt=”3″, billing will continue for only 3 monthly installments. After that, billing would stop, and their access to the site would be revoked as well ( based on your EOT Behavior setting under: s2Member -> PayPal® Options ).

I hope that helps. :)

This particular attribute isn’t editable in the button generator’s interface, but you can generate the shortcode and then edit this manually without a problem.

s2Member will remove the access by default, but you can change this behavior from [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior[/hilite]. :)

Can you help me figure out the EOT thing? I noticed the choice is between delete & demote, how can I set it to “keep them as they are”?:)

You’d disable the EOT behavior. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Automatic EOT Behavior[/hilite]

Also would it be possible to set this up so people who finish the cycle (2 payments) get to stay, but people who don’t make the 2nd payment get thrown out?:)

This isn’t possible yet, it’s one of the limitations in the current EOT system. I’ll ask Jason if there’s a hack possible for it.

No problem.

I heard back form Jason regarding hacking it, and this is what he said:

It’s not something that can be accomplished without introducing the possibility of new issues… The end result in the current release, won’t be one that’s as stable as it should be, with respect to this functionality. Too many structural limitations.

Instead he’ll be focusing on finishing the new s2Member, which won’t have this limitation, so it can be released soon.

No problem. :)

Let us know if you have other questions.

Then you’d have to restrict the paid content at Level 0 instead of higher, so that those paying members can see it, but then the trouble-makers would be demoted to Level 0 and still have access too. :/

Yes, you can.

Disable Open Registrations and only those who paid will be allowed to register. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration[/hilite]

lol

Glad I could help. :)
