PayPal Specific Post/Page Buy Now Form

I have two questions about the PayPal Specific Post/Page Buy Now Form, which I’m currently using here: http://www.passionandpossibilities.com/ancient-secrets-to-proclaim-your-power/ancient-secrets-to-proclaim-your-power-buy-now

First, is it possible to also ask buyers for their phone number and country of residence? (Is there something I can add to the shortcode?)

Second, where can I find a report of who has purchased via this form? How will I know when someone makes a purchase?

Thank you!

Hi Reeny,

The Specific Post/Page Buy Now feature does not create any account on your site, so even if you requested their phone number and country of residence, there wouldn’t be anywhere to store that information.

With regular membership signups (where an account is created on your site), you can add Custom Registration Fields (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields) that will be shown during signup and you can collection that information and have it stored on the users account.

If you absolutely need to collect that information, you’ll need to do some custom programming and have the extra information you collect sent to you via email.

Which leads me to your next question: When someone makes a Specific Post/Page purchase, they’re sent a confirmation email (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Specific Post/Page Confirmation Email). You can add yourself to the list of recipients so that you get notified as well.

I think you’re saying that I can somehow add the phone and country to the form so that that info can be emailed to me? I understand how to set it up so that I also receive the email… But how can I add the phone and country to the form and still use the Specific Post/Page Buy Now Form?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Reeny,

You could modify the Pro-Form Template for Specific Post/Page Pro-Forms in
plugins/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/paypal-sp-checkout-form.php.

Got it. I added those fields to the form (http://www.passionandpossibilities.com/ancient-secrets-to-proclaim-your-power/ancient-secrets-to-proclaim-your-power-buy-now)

On the page, the input tag has the following attribute:

name="s2member_pro_paypal_sp_checkout[phone]"

Then in the email I added this at the bottom (just to list all the captured data):

%%first_name%% %%last_name%%
%%email%%
%%phone%%
%%country%%

Will this work? Will the phone and country be passed through? (I can send all the code from the page if needed).

Yes, that should work. I recommend testing it to make sure.
