s2 pro

Hello,

We are a media agency from Germany. We are searching for a membership/subscription plugin for a customer wordpress site.
The goal is to create different paid subscriptions which automatically renew until they are cancelled by the subscriber. Customers should get teaser emails to content they can access on the site and the access to content should expire after a period of time.

We would kindly ask you to answer the following questions, as we couldn’t find all the informations on your website.

• Are your subscription levels combinable (2 subscriptions for different content for example)?
• Can they renew automatically, if they aren’t cancelled?
• Which payment providers/methods do you support? Do you support Ogone and/or Concardis? Is there an existing interface?
• Which mail programs you support? Do you support cleverreach?
• Can your plugin send newsletters on its own and does it support/is it combineable with drip feeding?
• Do you support drip feeding in general?
• Do you support content access and content access expiration?

Do you have any experience with mobile apps in combination with your plugin?
Would you recommend Adobe PhoneGap?

We are looking forward to your reply and thank you in advance.

Regards
Jan-Patrick

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’m very sorry for the delay in resposne. I had missed this thread until now.

• Are your subscription levels combinable (2 subscriptions for different content for example)?

Yes, with s2Member’s Custom Capabilities you can accomplish this. Custom Capabilities can be mixed and matched and sold separately from each other. You can restrict content by Membership Levels, multiple Custom Capabilities, just one Custom Capability, or Custom Capabilities and Membership Levels.

• Can they renew automatically, if they aren’t cancelled?

Yes, this is done through your payment gateway. All of s2Member Pro’s integrated payment gateways support renewing subscriptions.

• Which payment providers/methods do you support? Do you support Ogone and/or Concardis? Is there an existing interface?

The list of supported payment gateways is here:

Pre Sale FAQs » What payment gateways does s2Member® support?

We do not currently support Ogone or Concardis, sorry about that.

• Which mail programs you support? Do you support cleverreach?

We currently directly support AWeber and MailChimp, but it is possible to integrate almost any mailing system with our system.

• Can your plugin send newsletters on its own and does it support/is it combineable with drip feeding?

If you would like newsletters done you’ll need to either use another plugin or connect to something like MailChimp or AWeber. s2Member is designed for protecting content and receiving payments, and extra features like this generally require an external program. This allows us to stay focused on making sure that what we do have set up works correctly. :-)

• Do you support drip feeding in general?

In s2Member will call this Content Dripping, and we do support it.

See: Knowledge Base » Protecting Non-WordPress Content with s2Member

• Do you support content access and content access expiration?

Yes, s2Member allows you to restrict access to content with Membership Levels, Custom Capabilities, or just through Specific Post/Page access restriction. There are Pro Forms for all of these types of restrictions to allow access to your content those ways.

Do you have any experience with mobile apps in combination with your plugin?
Would you recommend Adobe PhoneGap?

I’m afraid we don’t have any direct integrations with mobile applications, sorry. I’m not sure about anything with mobile apps.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything, or if you have any further questions. :-)

Hi,

thank you for the detailed answer. In the meantime we had another meeting with our customer and he specified his list of features, so we would addiotionally ask about Buddypress integration.

Thanks in advance

thank you for the detailed answer. In the meantime we had another meeting with our customer and he specified his list of features, so we would addiotionally ask about Buddypress integration.

s2Member’s BuddyPress integration allows you (as the site owner) to use s2Member’s Custom Profile Fields with BuddyPress’s Registration form, which overrides s2Member’s default (usually at /register/), as well as in the Edit Profile section of BuddyPress and the BuddyPress Profile Page. This is all built-in, and to ensure that your s2Member Registration/Profile Fields are brought into BuddyPress you simply need to check some boxes in this section of your Dashboard:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields

To protect certain parts of BuddyPress, you can use s2Member’s URI restrictions. For example, if you wanted to keep the Activity Page from being accessed, you could restrict the URI /activity/.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions

Let me know if you need any further clarification. :-)
