Button Generator Not Working

When I use the button Generator the code is not moving the sales amount into paypal. The amount is showing $0.00 and the price is $497.00. See Code below

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ssreaugust" desc="Success in Senior Real Course 1 payment $497" ps="srei" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="seniorsrealestateinstitute.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="497.00" rp="6" rt="M" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

When I get to paypal after click on the link I can manual input the $497.00 and that will work.

What am I missing? This is a 1 time charge of $497.00 for 6 months access.

Try this code:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ssreaugust" desc="Success in Senior Real Course 1 payment $497" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="seniorsrealestateinstitute.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="497.00" rp="6" rt="M" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

your code included ps=”srei” instead of ps=”paypal” Not sure if it was intended or just a typo.

SREI is a checkout page format that I have setup in Paypal and I have tried it with paypal also. Thank you for the information and I am still getting 0.00 for item and total when I click on the link and go to Paypal.

Sorry it didn’t help. I am sure a support rep will be able to add more useful information for you.

Hi Chris,

Please try the following shortcode. If that causes the same problem, could you share the link to the page where you have this button so we can look at the page source and test the button?

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ssreaugust" desc="Success in Senior Real Course 1 payment $497" ps="srei" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="seniorsrealestateinstitute.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="497.00" rp="6" rt="M" rr="0" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

Raam,

I replaced it with your short code and now I get an error from Paypal saying “Invalid Regular period. You must specify valid values for the A3, P3, and T3 parameters for a subscription.”

This is where the button is located
http://seniorsrealestateinstitute.com/ssre

Thank you for you help!
Chris

Chris, you seem to be having a shortcode parsing problem, most likely caused by the theme or another plugin.

As a test, could you change the theme to the default one and reload the page with the buttons? Does the problem continue?

If that dosen’t fix it, could you deactivate other plugins and test the button after each until you don’t get the error again?

I hope it helps. :)

Cristián,

Thank you for the help and I have changed to the default theme and deactivated the plugins with the same results. This is becoming increasing frustrating.

So, we have ruled out theme, and plugins. What else can I attempt to get this to work?

Thanks,
Chris

Hmm… weird, I’ve only seen it happen with the theme or a plugin. The default WP installation with s2Member doesn’t have that issue.

Well, you could try the TrueEdit plugin, using it to remove all the filters except [hilite mono]do_shortcode[/hilite]. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/trueedit/

Let me know if it helps.

Cristián,

After adding true edit and disabling do_shortcode it then displays the short code on my page:

See Below:

2 easy payments of $297

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ssreaugust" desc="2 Payments of $297 for Live Course and Six Months Access" ps="srei" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="seniorsrealestateinstitute.com" ta="297.00" tp="1" tt="M" ra="297.00" rp="5" rt="M" rr="0" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]
OR

Save and make one payment of $497

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ssreaugust" desc="Success in Senior Real Course 1 payment $497" ps="srei" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="seniorsrealestateinstitute.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="497.00" rp="6" rt="M" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

What is next? There has to be away for this to work.

Chris

No, you need do_shortcode to parse the shortcodes. I meant disabling the other filters and leaving just do_shortcode.

I tried that and I had the same issue as in the beginning. It still doesn’t move the price to paypal checkout screen.

What is next?

Chris

Hmm…

Could you test this in a clean installation or WordPress? Install a new WP in a directory and add only s2Member to it, configure the PayPal settings and post the shortcode for your buttons in a page. See if you have the A3, P3, and T3 parameters error then too.
