Yes Rich, s2Member does all that. … and more!
Protecting posts, pages, or other content can be done conditional to being logged in, or to have the proper membership level, or even with custom capabilities. It is extremely versatile.

I am not a tech person, nor a developper, but i am using Headway Theme, which is a visual theme where you can click, drag and drop boxes.. Since i am not a coder, it works fine for me, and it works fine with s2M too. I am sure you can get more suggestions in here. Good luck.

My site is http://scrapbookcampus.com

The WP affiliate plugin allows anyone to become YOUR affiliate and send YOU traffic. They are assigned a specific ID and they will use their special URL (which includes their ID) to send you some traffic. You can create a different URL for each “product” you sell, whether it is a downloadable product or a membership. If a visitor uses their link, and makes a purchase, it will be recorded under your affiliate ID. At the end of the month, you simply compile the data for your affiliates and pay them. You can also choose a different commission rate per affiliate too, meaning you can have John get 20%, but Frank can get 30% and Steve gets 50%. That is all up to you.

That plugin works fine alongside s2M except if you are using Custom variables since WP Affiliate uses the cv1 as the ID so if you need Custo variables for s2M, you should work around that (it is not hard at all but probably does not need the explanation here).

You can probably use Custom Capabilities and set some pages to the ccaps of “wholesale” and then you can upgrade the wholesalers to have that ccap. Then, they will be able to see all the wholesale pages and the others. If you want the wholesalers to NOT see the regular pages, then you can set up those pages to a ccap of “regular” and restrict access to the “regular” customers only.

Custom Capabilities are like keyholes on the pages, and the members get the key. If the member has the matching key, they will access the page (or content), but if they dont have the right key they wont see the page!

You can learn more on custom capabilities (ccaps) with the video here (i dont know how to embed the videos in here):

Good luck.

It is under API / List Servers and MailChimp is the first one on top. Unless you are looking for something else as far as tailoring?

s2Member doesn’t have shopping cart features yet

Is it planned for the next major release?

I am pretty sure you can. If your content is online, you can use Custom Capabilities (ccaps) instead of levels and restrict their access according to the ccap assigned to the member. If your content is downloadable, then you can do so through the Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions. All those can be done with the free version, if i remember correctly.

Maybe a s2M expert might come and chime in to clarify this.

You might want to peak at these videos:

and

Good luck.

I am pretty sure the free version of s2Member can do just that. The Pro version has benefits in other categories, but dealing with Paypal is standard even with the free version.

Good luck.

Again, just trying, i checked the examples for the Advanced Conditionals (using php), and here is the example they have:

<?php if (current_user_is("s2member_level4")){ ?>
    Some premium content for Level 4 Members.
<?php } else if (current_user_is("s2member_level3")){ ?>
    Some premium content for Level 3 Members.
<?php } else if (current_user_is("s2member_level2")){ ?>
    Some premium content for Level 2 Members.
<?php } else if (current_user_is("s2member_level1")){ ?>
    Some premium content for Level 1 Members.
<?php } else if (current_user_is("s2member_level0")){ ?>
    Some content for Free Subscribers.
<?php } else { ?>
    Some public content.
<?php } ?> 

So it seems that there is a

<?php }

in their example that is not in yours. Could that cause it?

I am really not familiar with the wp_nav_menu command (or variable) and definitely not knowledgeable with the pnp coding, so this is above my abilities.

But if you want to use the shortcode to include all the content on the same page, then you can use something like this:

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level0)]
    put the resources accessible to all the registered members.
    
    [s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1)]
        add the resources accessible to those with level 1 membership.
    
        [s2If current_user_is(s2member_level2)]
            add the resources accessible to those with level 2 membership.
 
             [s2If current_user_is(s2member_leve3)]
                add the resources accessible to those with level 3membership.
                
                [s2If current_user_is(s2member_level4)]
                    add the resources accessible to those with level 4 membership.

                [/s2If]
            [/s2If]
        [/s2If]                                    
    [/s2If]   
[/s2If]

This will display all the resources you want but only according to what you allow each level to see. And you can also add this:

[s2If !is_user_logged_in()]
    something to encourage the visitor to either log in, or to register or purchase whatever package you offer along with a little sale pitch!
[/s2If] 

But again,if you want to just display the menus according to their level, hopefully Christian or Raam will chime in.

Do you really need to have separate menus or could you simply have ONE menu, but divide the content according to conditionals? So in the single resource page, you could have

if level 0 or above
show these resources
if level 1 and above
also show these resources
if level 2 and above
also show these resources

I am no tech, just another s2M user but i wanted to achieve that a while back but ended up using the menu always visible to all, but incorporate conditionals instead, and if the visitor is not reaching the lowest level i set, i can have a little sale pitch, encouraging the visitor to register or purchase the access.

Someone more knowledgeable in the coding and s2M will surely come and add info on the technical side,
