I am making the switch from Wishlist Member to S2Member. I have purchased the Pro version of S2. I deactivated WL Member and activated S2. Everything seems to be going fine, but I want to make sure that my recurring payments continue for my current members. I exported all the data from Wishlist before making the change. I only have about 150 members, and I would like to manually configure each user/member rather than trying to import it in bulk. I am using PayPal and have the Paid Subscr. ID for each user in the export file from WL Member. I’m not sure what I should enter for the “Custom Value”. Do I need to enter something in that field? If so, what is it and where do I find it?

Thanks!

All you need here is the installation host name (e.g. your domain name).

If your site is running at www.example.com, please type www.example.com into this field.

See also: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained) where it discusses the custom Shortcode Attribute. This will give you some further insight.

Thanks, Mike. Is there anything else I need to do for the recurring payments to continue after the switch from Wishlist to S2Member?

It sounds like you’ve done most everything that’s required. The only other thing I would warn you about, is related to PayPal IPNs. Often times, it is not possible for s2Member® to receive and verify IPNs coming in from what was formerly connected to WishList Member. This is a PayPal limitation. Depending on your previous configuration of WishList and how your IPNs were communicating with WishList, you may receive “unable to verify HTTP host” in your s2Member® IPN log file for those old members when/if they cancel or payments start failing.

If you find this is the case, it can help to setup a manual EOT Time in the Dashboard for each of your old members who need to be expired on a specific date in the future. You will find the EOT Time field for each User by clicking [EDIT] next to a user in your list of users (e.g. from the Dashboard).
