UK Members

Hello,

I want to buy s2, I like everything I have read about it and am impressed by the testimonials, but am not sure if it is the right product for me. I am working from the UK, and have noticed sections such as “Available to US merchants only” and forum topics where the information is vague and advising that I may need to apply hacks to get the product working fully for UK users.

I basically want to turn my site into a subscription site, allowing only member access to certain pages, with a simple 1 off yearly payment option for access and registration to the site, using paypal, credit/debit cards as well as as many other payment options as practically possible. I don’t want to go messing around with the HTML, but want a simple option to get this working quickly and simply.

Should I buy s2? or is there another product which offers better value for UK users?

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for your inquiry. We are very sorry for the delay in reponse.

I am aware of quite a few Users of s2Member who have sites that run s2Member with UK PayPal Pro accounts. So this is possible. However, some other payment gateways (such as Authorize.Net) may prove to be a problem for you, as they require a US-based bank account to function.

For a full list of payment gateways s2Member Pro supports, see:

s2Member should be able to handle this just fine, without any customization to code, or any special setup other than just protecting your Posts/Pages, and setting up your Membership Options Page + PayPal Options. These are all steps that need to be followed by any site owner, and s2Member guides you through the process with its Quick-Start Guide, and you can find info on setting s2Member up from our numerous video tutorials here:
