Intergrating s2members with WSO Pro

Hey does anybody now how to integrate s2member with WSO pro? So that when the paying customer is redirected back to the membership site from paypal s2member recognizes that the customer has paid and sends them to the registration page. At the moment all customers who are paid or not that are coming from WSO pro taken to paypal and sent to our site are being taken to the sales page and can’t get access to register. Its like our site or s2member does not know that they have paid to become a member. The only way we can let them in is to add them manually inside the site.

I think there must be a key or code that has to be in place which is fine if someone could help out as to what that code must be. Or if anybody else has had the same difficulties any kind of help would be super.

Hi Ryan,

s2Member sets a cookie in the user’s browser after they’ve successfully made a payment. If you have Open Registration disabled (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Open Registration), that cookie must be present to allow them access to the registration page. If Open Registration is enabled, anyone can visit the registration page.

With the regular s2Member payment buttons, s2Member generates an email after registration (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email) that contains a special link to register. That link sets the cookie and then redirects them to the registration page.

If you want to manually generate those cookies, you’ll need to dig into the s2Member code and go from there (all of the source code is available for both the free and Pro version of s2Member). This is outside the scope of our support policy (please see s2Member® » Support Policy » Fine Lines), so you’d need to make that custom integration on your own.

Hi Ryan.

I saw Jason replied your email about this. In case you didn’t get it, here’s what he said:

It’s true that s2Member’s Proxy IPN URL could be used for this. However, it’s NOT usually just that easy, unfortunately. As mentioned in the administrative panel for s2Member, there are two fields that MUST match what s2Member expects to see. The custom value in any PayPal IPN response (forwarded, or otherwise), must always match the installation domain for your s2Member-powered site. Also, the item_number field must also match a Membership Level #.

For further details, please check your Dashboard under: [hilite path]s2Member -> PayPal Options -> IPN Integration -> Proxy URL[/hilite].

Given the issue that I just mentioned, most site owners integrating s2Member in this way, will implement a proxy of their own, on top of s2Member’s Proxy URL. In this way, your server would receive a forwarded IPN response through a small custom script that you write. That script would add the variables that s2Member needs (modifying the original IPN slightly), and then sending everything to s2Member’s Proxy IPN URL handler.

As an s2Member Pro customer, you have access to the [hilite mono]/s2m-pro-extras.zip[/hilite] file, which contains an example script called: [hilite mono]central-ipn-sample.php[/hilite]. While that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, many of our customers have used that script as a good starting point for building such an integration as you’ve described. You’ll find this example file inside the [hilite mono]/s2m-pro-extras.zip[/hilite] file, through your account at s2Member.com.

I hope it helps!

Thanks for your help guys I will do my best and see how it goes:))

Ok, I have looked and looked, I even used the search function to try and find it can you please show me where this is….

/s2m-pro-extras.zip

I have a coder ready to move on this with your instructions given here

If you can please show me exactly where is is located?

Cheers

Go to your Account page here:

and look under the subheading [hilite path]My Additional File Downloads[/hilite]. :)

Ok guys sorry to be a pain in the but. I have the file now and I just wanted to be clear on things before I go ahead and try and fix this.

/
$config = /* One line for each domain (follow the examples here please). */ array
	(
		"[YOUR DOMAIN]" => "[FULL URL TO AN IPN HANDLER FOR YOUR DOMAIN]",
		"www.site1.com" => "http://www.site1.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1",
		"www.site2.com" => "http://www.site2.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1",
	);
/*
----

So in this part here “[YOUR DOMAIN]” => “[FULL URL TO AN IPN HANDLER FOR YOUR DOMAIN]” do I put the URL of my domain first and then the url of WSO Pro IPN handler in the second part??

Ryan

Regarding that central IPN example file…
you might transform it a bit and do something like this.

1. Configure the top of this file (as seen below).
2. Upload this file to your server.
3. Configure your 3rd party integration to forward IPNs to this script.

Result… this script will receive IPNs being forwarded from your 3rd party integration. This script modifies important variables such as “custom” and “item_number” to a format that s2Member can understand. This script will then forward the IPN again (after having modified it a bit), over to your actual s2Member installation.

<?php

$config&#91;"custom"&#93; = "www.mydomain.com";

Ok guys I have tried it all now and still have had no luck. I’m out of ideas!! Ive read through the forums I’ve done the things you have stated above Ive even sent all my details through the private members area and still cannot get it to work. I am at a loss now. I was adding members manually but now the affiliates are getting sales it is making this process exrteemly hard. Should I just start again with a different system like DAP or something.? I would like to stay with s2members because I think its awesome but if does not work for me then I dont know what to do

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

I can’t help with the WSO Pro question, but it might interest you to know JVZoo has been working on an integration with s2Member.

I know a lot of WSO Pro users have been using JVZoo lately so you might want to ping them a question over at their site and see how they are progressing with their integration, as if they are close it might be the easiest way to get WSO customers setup as members.

Ok thank you Kez for your help I think I might get onto that now before I bump the thread.

Ryan

If you could come back to this thread and post what you find out that would be awesome as I’d like to know myself, and I’ve seen quite a few others asking as well.

I did see they have a field in their product setup page labelled “For use with s2Member” so hopefully that’s a good sign.

Thanks!
