Selling "invitation-only" content

I would like to offer a service on another website that users would connect to from my site.

However, I don’t want that site displayed anywhere on my primary website unless the customer has been “authorized” to view the content by me. This means I do not want any button or link or purchase option for this service.

I can’t use an S2 feature because I would have to have “something” to click or purchase and then people I do not want to purchase it will ask what it is and what it’s for.

I’m thinking about creating a separate webpage that I would tell people to visit like “mysite.com/sf”. Then, this non-public web page (unreferenced from my site) would have a purchase now button (with maybe a separate authorization from me which is probably already supported).

Any other ideas on how to do this?

Thank you for your inquiry.

So, what you’re wanting is to have Users only be able to buy membership if they are allowed access to do so. And to accomplish this you want to use a non-referenced subsite?

If that’s the case you could use the information provided in this article to send Users to PayPal or Clickbank from the external website, but this won’t work with Pro Forms.

Does that solve your issue? If not, could you provide a little more information as to how you need s2Member to function?

Unfortunately, I am forced to provide this content but I don’t want anyone accessing it that don’t have to.

It might be as simple as this:

1) Reserve level 5 for this ccontent
2) nly allow users to purchase levels 1-4
3) Manually change level of specific users from 4 to 5

But doing that takes away one of my sellable levels. Perhaps I need to read up on current levels again.

With s2Member Pro you’re provided unlimited levels. So that’s not really something you’d need to think about.

You may take a look at Custom Capabilities, though.
