Yes. The “signup” notifcation is blank. This is the screenshot :)

Posted: Wednesday Sep 25th, 2013 at 7:23 pm #59885

So is this one anyone has to do when they have a pricing table?

Isn’t their someway to integrate a pricing table more simply?

I would think all membership sites would have a pricing table for professional look?

I’ll try!

Posted: Tuesday Sep 24th, 2013 at 11:15 pm #59829

Yes, I have it in the right place from what it looks like BUT this is NOT what’s happening.

Instead, I am only being notified of an affiliate sale when someone registers. This means they buy it, then get the email to register, fill it out and then I am notified.

For some reason, I don’t get anything for the actual purchase, which isn’t good because if the email isn’t sent out – that affiliate loses the sale…

Posted: Tuesday Sep 24th, 2013 at 11:13 pm #59828

Did that attached image work?

If not, the site is http://www.canadianfreeflyers.com and if you click on the $37 option at the bottom, you will see what I’m talking about.

Aside from that, if you click the other 2 options in the pricing table, you will get a different “error” form Paypal.

However, the $97 option at the bottom works. Not sure what is happening.

I got the urls by creating a paypal button in s2member and then switching output to url, previewing the page, copying the url and putting it in the pricing table.

Thank you!

Posted: Monday Sep 9th, 2013 at 7:23 pm #59331

Wow.

Maybe you can help me.

I’m having extreme problems but one of the worst at the moment is no emails are being sent when new members purchase my product. They should get a new registration email.

Nothing is being sent. Nothing is logged either.

This sucks because:

1) They have to send me an email. I then have to manually add them which also means I need to manually delete them if they cancel.
2) if an affiliate sends them, I won’t know because the affiliate system records the registration email, not the initial payment.

Any way to fix this?

Posted: Sunday Jul 14th, 2013 at 3:27 pm #53439

Thank you Eduan the rockstar.

I’m not sure if it will work yet but it looks like it could.

Thanks!

Posted: Sunday Jul 14th, 2013 at 3:22 pm #53438

This one wasn’t really related to IDev. I had brought it up in the forums in the past and I believe someone from S2Member said they were going to look into creating something to fix that issue.

I tried it myself the other day, using another email to subscribe to my site. The Registration email never did go through and was not in junk mail either.

Not sure what is happening…

Posted: Saturday Jun 22nd, 2013 at 11:51 pm #52405

So, I still have 3 major problems even though commission sales are being tracked:

1) Paypal URL: Need this for price tables. I changed output to url, which works. However, it only works for one person to buy and then everyone (who knows how many sales I lost) gets a page that says “This invoice has already been paid. For more information, please contract the merchant.”

2) For commissions through IDEV, customers need to click on the registration email that sent after payment. If not clicked or if email is lost, then there is no way to track commission.

3) when someone cancels subscription, it’s not notifying the commission alert to cancel the commission. I need to watch and do this manually.

Any advice?

Posted: Thursday Jun 20th, 2013 at 4:59 pm #52302

Okay I will look into that.

But as of now: When someone buys my product through an affiliate link, the sale is only tracked when someone clicks the registration link. If they don’t for some reason, the sale is not tracked.

Which is brings up one more problem as well..

When someone doesn’t receive a registration email (which is rare but does happen) there is no way to re-send them it. This means I have two options. 1) I can register them manually but then I need to manually track if they unsubscribe so that I can manually unsubscribe them. This would be very time-consuming and problematic.

2. I can tell them to cancel and sign up again. This is also a problem because most people don’t want to be bothered with this much work.

Is their a way yet with s2member to resend a registration link?

Posted: Tuesday Jun 4th, 2013 at 1:55 pm #51345

Okay… I think I got it working …

Posted: Tuesday Jun 4th, 2013 at 1:13 pm #51340

How do you do that?

When I look in S2Member, at the paypal button generator, there is nothing that says “Generate URL’ or anything like that…

Posted: Tuesday Jun 4th, 2013 at 1:06 pm #51339

I got it working! Finnnnnally!

But two things:

1. In order for sales to be tracked, the purchaser must click the registration linked sent to them after they purchased. So its not tracking right when the money is transferred but only after they register at my site via their email link….If ever they don’t recieve that email for some reason, sale won’t be tracked and it could cause a problem.

IDEV told me s2member had fixed this – Do you know about this?

2. Another issue I see now is when I refunded that payment through Paypal and canceled payments to me through their account, I (admin) get this email:

The API file (terminate_commission.php) tried to remove a commission and couldn’t.

IDEV told me this:

Ok if I’m not mistaken S2 updated their later releases to not require that link to be clicked. I’d check with them on that. As for the terminate commission I believe I’ve seen that from other customers in the past and again I believe it was resolved as a bug in later releases of S2. I’d check with them to see what version you should be running to resolve both.

Thanks

I noticed in the above thread that Jason said he would help further if I upgrade.

Idev has made it easy I believe. They said:

If they can give us OUTPUT of the tracking code call (the URL with variables in it), we can pinpoint the issue immediately.

this is all I need to figure this out. I have hired a developer to track FTP and that also did not work.

It’s been so long and I have lost so many affiliates.

IDEV keeps telling me that s2member should help me out with this.

Can I be helped with this even if I upgrade?

If not, my only choice it another membership site as I cant wait any longer. I rather not switch as that’s another pain, but I need to get this going and out of my head.

Thankd Eduan for all your assistance along the way.

Posted: Friday May 24th, 2013 at 5:45 pm #50569

Hi Terry,

No, unfortunately, an IDEV installation would not help in this case. I had a developer install it but have been talking to idea/s2member for around 3 months now trying to get this to work. It must be a unique problem because it’s incredible how difficult it is.

I asked IDEV if they reinstalled it but they said it wouldnt change anything because the system is tracking clicks, unique clicks, and even notifying me when someone cancels a subscription.

But for some reason, its not tracking actual sales. the most important part.

IDEV says all I need to give them is the output and they told me s2member should be able to do this really quickly. But it turns out they can’t. so I’m trying to hire a developer now who might be able to do this.

One of my affiliates is launching in 2 weeks so if it’s not ready for that, I am doomed :(

Posted: Friday May 10th, 2013 at 8:16 pm #49716

Okay, one last thing.

If I’m a paid member, Can s2member give me the output rather than me having to do this?

Posted: Sunday May 5th, 2013 at 7:51 pm #49247

Is their a plugin that can allow me to do that?

I am not a developer of any kind. Very clueless about that kind of stuff so none of this makes sense to me…

:)

Posted: Sunday Apr 21st, 2013 at 10:08 pm #48069

Thanks!

Yeah, I just want to make sure that I can:

a) get IDEV working

b) work a pricing table into my website, which means I need a paypal “url” rather than a button code…

If I can do that with s2member, I’ll pay right away

Thanks!

Posted: Saturday Apr 20th, 2013 at 9:38 pm #48026

The thing is, I don’t know how to do anything like that. The only reason I bought IDEV was because I thought it would be simple and seamless to integrate.

Is there anyone who can quickly get me the OUTPUT?

Or can someone guarantee that if I buy s2member pro, it will be fixed within a week?

I just can’t keep telling affiliates to wait. It’s been 2 months since I first uploaded IDEV and I still can’t get it going.

Thanks Eduan for all your prompt replies

Posted: Thursday Apr 18th, 2013 at 10:03 pm #47816

According to IDEV, I can’t actually get the OUTPUT. They told me only s2member themselves could tell me that info… is that true?

Posted: Friday Apr 12th, 2013 at 1:36 pm #47317

I tried giving him that as OUTPUT but it turns out that is not it. I know this must be getting old now but I’d really like to get the affiliate part working. Supposedly this is all they need to fix it. This was the email:

This is not output:
http://www.XXXXX.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=83&idev_saleamt=%%amount%%&idev_ordernum=%%txn_id%%&idev_option_1=%%item_name%%&idev_option_2=%%subscr_id%%&idev_option_3=%%cv0%%&ip_address=%%user_ip%%

That is code.

Output will have actual values like this:
http://www.XXXXXX.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=83&idev_saleamt=19.99&idev_ordernum=123… etc.

Also, I don’t see the IP address in there.
ie. &ip_address=111.11.111.1 etc.

You’re having a problem with the tracking pixel call. I need to see EXACTLY what is being called on OUTPUT to determine the cause (what is wrong with the call itself).

Posted: Thursday Apr 11th, 2013 at 8:24 pm #47254

Yeah, I downloaded a plugin called Pricing Table. Basically, it allows me to make a table showing the different membership levels and price.

But it requires a button url to send people to when they click “buy”.

But when I make a button via S2member/paypal, it gives me a button code.

I just need the url if thats possible?

Posted: Monday Apr 8th, 2013 at 10:52 pm #46872

I have no issues really buying S2Member. I mainly wanted to try it first and make sure it suits my needs.

The only 2 problems I see so far is:

1. This one. I’d like to make sure it works. IDEV told me all they need is the OUTPUT of the tracking pixel and then they can tell me exactly what is going wrong. Can I get this first and just make sure it works? or do I need to buy S2member to get this right away so I can finally add some affiliates?

2. Generating button codes. I’d like to use tables but I would need a button URL and not the code. Not sure how to do this or if it exists either.

Thanks so much for the help thus far.

Posted: Monday Apr 8th, 2013 at 8:39 pm #46870

I am really looking for a solution to this as well. It’s very annoying.

I am also trying to use a table for my membership options

But I can’t use the S2Member button generator for the code… I just need the URL

Is this possible?

Posted: Saturday Apr 6th, 2013 at 7:27 pm #46782

Ok, do you know what iDevAffiliate meant by OUTPUT?

Posted: Saturday Apr 6th, 2013 at 6:24 pm #46778

Also, what is the different with the normal tracking code and this one I’m using (advanced Curl)…. Should I switch back?

Either way, both didn’t work. Idevaffiliate is trying to help but they asked me to ask S2Member If they can give us OUTPUT of the tracking code call (the URL with variables in it).

I know this thread is getting long but I’d really like to start actually using this.

Any chance I can get this done or how else can I finally start using my affiliate software?
