auto return

I want to bypass the auto return page…it is ugly, unnecessary and asks the user to log in before going back to the site. I wonder why it is needed, at least visually.

The success shortcode does not work (my understanding is that it will only work with non-members). I don’t particularity want to customise it just bypass to a thank you page.

Actually the Auto-Return page is very necessary. When PayPal redirects a User back to your site after a transaction, they are greeted with a Thank-You page, but their account is not yet ready to be created/upgraded. s2Member needs to wait (usually just a few moments) for PayPal to send transaction data back to your server to either send the appropriate email, or upgrade the User’s account.

If you’d like to create your own Thank-you page, this is possible. You must have s2Member Pro installed, and you can use the success attribute here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Custom Return URLs Upon Success

The success shortcode does not work (my understanding is that it will only work with non-members). I don’t particularity want to customise it just bypass to a thank you page.

s2Member’s success attribute should work in any transaction. This sounds like the issue here. Do you have logging enabled? If you do, could you send us a Dashboard login so we can take a look at them?

Let us know when you send that information.

Thanks for the info.

Based on your logs s2Member is receiving the URL from PayPal correctly and should be redirecting. However I’m seeing a different return URL in your logs than in your Shortcode.

's2member_paypal_return_success' => 'https://www.scitrans.ie/wp/thank-you/?subscr_id=%%subscr_id%%',

Are you using multiple buttons? Does the success URL work on some or your buttons but not the others?
