Alternative payment gateway

Hi, I’d like to replace Paypal with an alternative payment gateway, not listed in your Approved List. Is it as simple as replacing the new merchant account feild data in the PayPal steup screen(s)?

Additionally and prehaps I should have asked this first. The s2member menu only provides Paypal as a payment gateway option, can / does this need to be changed when using an alternative gateway option, and if so how?

Regards,

Warwick

As far as interacting with s2Member® (e.g. activating membership, deactivating on cancellation, etc).

Two Options Available

1. Use the s2Member® Pro Remote Operations API
See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API

2. Or, see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayPal® IPN Integration
Here s2Member® exposes a Proxy IPN Key; and some instructions for developers about integrating other 3rd party services with s2Member’s native IPN handler that follows PayPal standards.

Additionally and prehaps I should have asked this first. The s2member menu only provides Paypal as a payment gateway option, can / does this need to be changed when using an alternative gateway option, and if so how?

Any tweaks, changes, or additions to the menu panels and/or other areas of the Dashboard can be handled through hook/filters embedded into s2Member’s source code. For further details, please see:
