Creating a new member is it possible this way

Hi there I am looking at s2member for a client and they wish to use their 3rd party affiliate system in conjunction with a membership site in wordpress.

The client does not wish to use paypal at all for fear of being shut down, there is an MLM component relating to the membership levels in his business model.

The site needs to sell membership products that can be tracked through the 3rd party system , and for the membership payments to made through the 3rd party system also.

This sounds simple but it raises some questions….

So the user would create a free account as step 1, then login and choose a package to upgrade or downgrade their membership to ( levels 1-4)

This membership is a virtual product that will reside within the 3rd party affiliate system.

Is there a way that upon purchase of a level 1-4 membership package, and then being re-directed to a custom thank you page, I can then use hooks and filters on that thankyou.php page to modify the users free membership level in database , and add the product to the users account in the database also?

Also what would be involved with downgrading a membership level in and cancelling a membership in the same fashion?

Thanks again for all your great documentation on this product. I think it is really the most comprehensive.

Look forward to hearing your reply.

Hi Mark,

All of this is certainly possible. Upgrading/downgrading a membership level programmatically involves simply changing the user role from s2member_level0 (free) to a membership level (e.g., s2member_level1). You can read more about doing that here.

As per our support policy, custom programming and special modifications to s2Member is outside the scope of what we support (see s2Member® » Support Policy » Outside Scope). However, all the documentation you need to make this work can be found in the s2Member Codex.

Hi Raam

Thank you for the info. Can you tell me if I am able to programatically create a new member of any level type programatically also?

Thanks again..

Hi Mark,

s2Member Pro comes with a Pro API, which can be used to create users of any level. Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Remote Operations API.
