Clickbank and Buddypress

Two questions:

1. I have a site with Buddypress and s2member and planning on taking payments using ClickBank. Do people register before they make the ClickBank payment or vice versa?

2. If the answer to the above is that they pay first, can I link to ClickBank on a domain that isn’t the one that s2member is installed on? The reason I’m asking is because my current sales page doesn’t match the design of my new buddypress site that will be the “members area”.

Thanks!

The s2Member ClickBank shortcode generators (e.g., Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› Membership Level # Buttons) generate ClickBank buttons. Those buttons allow your customer to pay through ClickBank. After a successful payment, s2Member sends them a Signup Confirmation Email (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email), which includes a link to register their account on your site.

If you want to place the ClickBank button on a different domain, what you’ll need to do is get the URL version of the s2Member-generated ClickBank button. To do that, first generate the ClickBank shortcode as normal (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› Membership Level # Buttons). Then, change the output=”” attribute to output=”url”. Now copy/paste that shortcode onto a WordPress page and then view that page. The shortcode will turn into a URL that you can copy and use anywhere you want (another domain, an email, etc.).

When someone makes a purchase with that URL, s2Member will send the Signup Confirmation Email, which includes a link to register their account on your site.
