Paypal buttons

Hi

We are using a custom tables and they come with a url link which incorporate the tables own buttons.

We don’t want to use the paypal buttons but we do want to use the link generated by s2member. Would this be possible?

Hi Dean,

Are you referring to the URL version of the PayPal button? If so, yes, that should be fine. You can generate the URL version of any PayPal button by setting the output=”” attribute to url. Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) for more information.

Hi Raam

Yes this is what we are after. I have read the explanation but still unsure how to generate a url code instead of a button?

In the shortcode, change the [hilite mono]output[/hilite] attribute to [hilite code]output="url"[/hilite].

Hi Chistian

Do you mean like this:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Xero bronze accounting package" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="GBP" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.dcaccounting.co.uk" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="59.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="url" /]

When I put this into my pricing table it doesn’t seem to be able to take all of the above shortcode?

Dean,

I’m not sure what you mean by “it doesn’t seem to be able to take all of the above shortcode”. If you place that shortcode on a WordPress Post/Page and then display the Post/Page, WordPress will convert the shortcode into a URL that you can use as a link somewhere.

For example, in HTML you might do something like this:

<a href="[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Xero bronze accounting package" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="GBP" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.dcaccounting.co.uk" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="59.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="url" /]">Click here to purchase</a>

Hi Raam

I am using a pricing tables plugin and the table asks for the url but when I put the shortcode in the box provided it doesn’t seem to take it?

Using a shortcode inside another shortcode must be the problem, the parser not knowing how to deal with them.

You can first use the button’s shortcode on its own, log out of your account, load the page with the shortcode and copy the URL it outputs, then paste that in the table.

Keep in mind that this won’t work with upgrades, only new signups. For upgrades, you need the person logged in when the shortcode is parsed. That’s why I included logging out, so the URL doesn’t have your account’s info.

I hope that helps. :)
