Membership Levels

Hi, I would like to use s2member for my wholesale site.
I do not want to charge members, I just want them to sign up to the site, then I approve them and upgrade their level so they can buy from the store.

Do I need to still add my paypal details,
What do I put on the membership page which I add.
I’m a little confused by it all.

Thanks in advance.

You only need to add your paypal information if you will be using any buttons generated by s2member for membership fees or buying posts, downloads, etc.

If you are just allowing anyone to join then upgrading manually, set your registration to OPEN in s2member->general options->open registration.

That will allow anyone to register on your site, then you can use the “user” section in your admin panel to update their membership type.

You also would not necessarily need a membership page, just direct people to the standard registration page wich is usually found here:

http://yoursite.com/wp-login?action=register

Hope that helps.

It’s wp-login.php?action=register to get it to work. Got to have the “.php”

wp-admin?action=register may work but I did not try it.

I am very new to registering users. I am wanting to use s2menber for different levels of log-in on a Buddy Press Forum. I got s2member because it had the highest praises and capability.

I don’t intend to have anyone pay to look at or post on the forum. So like the original poster, I need to have different levels of users with no payment.

Here is where I am confused. The registration link above is for WordPress.org . How to I register them just for my sight? Or do users always create a WordPress Registration? I did not create a WordPress registration in order to post in this forum, it is a s2member registration.

Thank you for your patience with Newbies.
