clickbank item number problem

My item numbers are not just numbers, I added letters to them, so that way people don’t just change 1 to a 2, then 3, then 4, etc, to find all the products and prices to find the best deal… so my products are like this:

cne1
however, when I enter that in the button generator, it always removes everything but the 1

why does it not use what I enter?
what I enter is what Clickbank has already approved, so it should work.

Let me know, please.
Thanks

Also, does the IPN from clickbank have to point back at the site, or will it work when they click on the return url?

I have the IPN point at SendPepper to create their subscription automatically, so that they don’t have to opt-in to my autoresponder series.

Let me know if that is required. If so, I will have to have them auto subscribed some other way, but not sure how I would do it.

Let me know, please.
Thank you.

Hi Damian.

You can edit the shortcode manually. The attribute for the product number is cbp. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> cbp[/hilite]

The IPN does need to point to the s2Member URL for it or the integration won’t work properly. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› IPN Integration[/hilite]

You can probably use the Notifications API to integrate with SendPepper. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / List Servers -› Other Integration Methods[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Yes, thank you!

I just noticed, clickbank added a second notification! So now I can have it notify both :)

still have to test it, but should work.

My only question I have left, is this.

So the user clicks buy.
they go to clickbank to buy
they pay
they get a receipt and click the return to the website and access purchase button
Now I am confused.

They now see a window that says they have to create an account to access their purchase?

Is that how it works?
If so, why does it not auto-create their account and email it to them, so they can just go login and not have the extra step?

Thank you again.

Cool. :)

Right, the ClickBank checkout is just a payment, not a registration, so they still need to create the account in your site. There isn’t a single-step payment and registration for ClickBank, only for PayPal and Authorize.Net using the pro-forms.

ClickBank requires you to show a certain message to the customer after payment, so the return page should show that and include a link to the registration page to create the account. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Options -› Thank-You Page Integration[/hilite]
