Hello all, any news on Gift certificates (I read before that it’s coming)? Here’s our way of providing this feature for now: 1. We are using PayPal Pro and we want users to be able to purchase a membership and then forward the email with username and password to a friend which should get the gift. When using PayPal, the email contains a registration link which works nicely if the expiration of the link is tweaked (read forum thread where we presented a solution). Q: However with PayPal, the situation if different – you have to enter the person’s name, username and email right away. And this email can’t be the email of whoever gets the gift, as it receives the billing. So I figured out, we can have a special form for gift membership and make sure it adds some custom capability for the user. Then if the user logs in and the capability is present, we tell him to change teh email. 2. Second issue is bigger – when a member wants to buy another membership, he has to log out. Otherwise it’s not possible to edit the username and email address. So we have to ask our members to log out, which is not nice. Q: So – how can we let logged in users create new members using PayPal Pro forms? Thanks, |
