Member purchasing

I was wondering how the members actually pay for the subscriptions. Like say I want to be a paid member, am I redirected to a cart or off site to some payment gateway or can I have some sort of shopping cart checkout within wordpress. I want to be able to keep them on my site with some sort of gateway where I can also upsell to them. Let me know if this is possible.

Hi Nick,

Yes, that is possible.

If you want to keep payments on-site, you’ll need to be using s2Member Pro with the PayPal Pro service (see Video » By PayPal®, Service Introductions). If you don’t want to pay for the PayPal Pro service, you can always use PayPal Express with s2Member Pro. However, using PayPal Express, the member will sign up on your website and then be transferred to PayPal to make their payment. PayPal will then notify s2Member in the background of a successful payment and s2Member will upgrade the users account or give them access.

For upgrades (or upsells), you can use the Billing Modification forms (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms that are included with s2Member Pro or the Subscriber Modification Buttons (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Subscr. Modification Buttons) that are included with the s2Member Framework.

We have lots of tutorial videos that should give you a feel for capabilities of s2Member.
