Membership from different PayPal purchase

I’m working on a website for a school, and they want to have a membership area in their site for parents and teachers to communicate. They use PayPal to process tuition, and I wanted to know if S2Memeber Pro could be used to create a member account when a parent makes a tuition payment.

In other words, I’m not looking to set up a site where people are paying for a membership, but the membership is bundled together with the tuition purchase. The parents aren’t paying for membership alone, but they get one with the tuition payment. That way only the people who pay tuition can gain access to the membership area, and it’s completed automatically during the process. I’m looking at different membership plugins to eventually use in a BuddyPress powered site, and I wanted to know if S2Memeber Pro would be a good choice.

Hi Andrew.

Well, you could create/upgrade the account manually for the parent once you receive the payment for tuition. Would that work for you?

Or, if you receive the payment via one of the gateways s2Member integrates with, then the upgrade would be automatic. Just say they’re paying for tuition and and membership access is extra, instead of saying they’re paying for the membership.

I hope that helps. :)
