TWO memberships with recurring payments…

I know that s2M cannot YET offer two separate memberships with recurring payments simultaneously. Can you clarify what happens if an existing member, with a recurring membership, registers and pays for a secong membership with recurring payment?

I know the EOT will change to the second. How about the ccaps? Are they added or replaced?
And the payment itself? is the old payment stopped and replaced by the new one?

I want to offer my members an option to upgrade to another “package” with different ccaps (and more) but what will happen of their current membership, ccaps and payment if they choose that upgrade?

Hello Cassel,

How about the ccaps? Are they added or replaced?

I’m pretty sure they are added, unless you remove them first using ‘none’ instead of a ccap, if I’m not mistaken, although if you do use it, you would use it before the rest.

And the payment itself? is the old payment stopped and replaced by the new one?

That is correct, I believe. One thing’s for sure, the user won’t continue to pay the old payment. ;)

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the clarification. I am planning something so i could have two options for memberships, either two options to give from the start, or one option to upgrade current membership, which would include the same ccaps PLUS something else. This will make the process as easy as i hoped for (just wanted to make sure).

I’m pretty sure they are added, unless you remove them first using ‘none’ instead of a ccap, if I’m not mistaken, although if you do use it, you would use it before the rest.

Although that’s for one-time payments, not sure if it’ll work the same with subscriptions.

Who could confirm that? Maybe Cristian or Jason?

If the user registers for a second membership while logged out of your site, then s2Member will just see them as a new user (they’ll have to use a different email address to signup, since WordPress won’t let them register the same email address twice; all email addresses have to be unique).

If the member is logged in and they try checking out using a normal signup form (i.e., a non-Billing Modification form), then I believe they get an error that says the invoice is already paid.

If the member is logged in and they use a Billing Modification form (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Billing Modification Forms) to upgrade or downgrade their account, their ccaps will follow them to whatever Level they are upgraded/downgraded to unless you specifically delete all of them (using the special -all in the Custom Capability field).

So, if a member at Level 1 has ccap1,ccap2 and then they use a Billing Modification form to upgrade to Level 2, and on that Billing Modification form you’ve specified that ccap3 should be added, then after they upgrade they will have ccap1,ccap2,ccap3.

However, if on the Billing Modification form you specify -all,ccap3, then after they upgrade to Level 2 they will only have ccap3.
