New reg fields with PP Pro cc buy now button

Love S2Member Pro. I’m using it in a non-standard way to just track membership in my organization. It’s been great, and allowed us to cut our administrator costs in half.

Just to be clear, I don’t have any member-only portion of my site, although I might implement that in the future.

Having said that I would like to allow members to bring guests to an event. I’m going to let them sign up for guests using custom capabilities, so 2 questions for which I cannot find the answer:

1) is there an easy hack to create a Buy now button based on number of guests, like you just did for the PayPal Pro Reg forms. So if the person has 1 guest, they see a $36 Buy Now, if they have 2 guests, they see at $72 Buy Now, etc. I programmed in a past life, so could probably handle some coding, but would prefer an easy hack if possible;

2) can I collect a new registration field (guest name(s)) when they use the Buy-now button.

Thanks!

Thank you for your inquiry.

And thanks for your patience over the weekend.

The easiest way to accomplish this would be to set up your own form and then pass the number of guests the Users are buying access for into your Button’s Shortcode with the information in this Knowledge Base Article:

You might try passing custom PayPal values using the HTML version of the PayPal Button. However this won’t work with Encryption at PayPal. I can’t say I know how you could accomplish this with Buttons for sure, securely. Sorry.
