Using coupons with Paypal Express

Hi,
I’m trying to get coupons working with Paypal Express.
I have placed the following on a separate page to test :

<style type="text/css">
div.s2member-pro-paypal-form-billing-method-section {display: none;}
</style>
[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="2" ccaps="" desc="$3 USD / One Time ( for 1 month access, non-recurring )" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="salearnerslicense.co.za" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="3" rp="1" rt="M" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="1" default_country_code="" captcha="0" /]

When I put in one of the defined coupons: 2.90$OFF|2.90, it just loads the paypal homepage. I have enabled API (I chose not to give 3rd party access – was this a mistake?) and put in all the details in Paypal options.
Help?

Alex,

If you can go back and enable the 3rd party access and test again, I recommend doing that. I believe it’s not required, but I could be wrong.

Also please download this Server Check Tool, upload the PHP file to your WordPress directory, and then load the URL to the file in your browser. It will run a bunch of tests to determine if there’s anything amiss on the server-side.

I don’t think 3rd party permission is required. It requires a “Third Party Permission Username”. I looked under S2member Paypal > IPN options and it says…

IPN w/ Proxy Key ( optional, for 3rd-party integrations )

I ran the Server check and the only problem it had was a recommendation to increase the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT from 32MB to 64MB.

I did a test install of wordpress in a subfolder and installed s2member-pro with the same Paypal API settings: it worked! It must then be some sort of conflict with customisation/other plugins.

OK, I deleted and reinstalled all the s2member folders and now it’s working like a charm!

Thank you for the update, Alex! Glad to hear you fixed this. I came back here to suggest you try exactly that. :)
