I’m using the pro-forms. I re-read the changelog and see that the PRO forms still have these restrictions in place???… GRRR!!!

There are reasons I paid for s2memberPro — one of which was to have the ability to better manage my user’s site experience. The use of Paypal buttons is NOT a preferred solution, especially now that I’ll need to spend the time to figure out how to rework my current solution to account for this limitation. I’m not at all happy about having to do that.

I guess I’ll be forced to use a Paypal button to avoid further confusion. I launched our membership program earlier today and have received a couple of signups that I’ll need to modify to add the additional months. Do you know how to manually do this via Paypal?

Also, since I’m forced to use Paypal’s buttons — how do I go about modifying my Membership options page to allow for existing users to purchase a membership plan?

Thanks.

Thanks for the information!

Using a Paypal button changes my user experience and site design. I’d much rather prefer to modify the code instead.

Oops! When I tried to generate the short code attributes I was limited to an initial/trial term of 12 months. In other words, the generator would not accept an 18 month term as I specified and suggested I select a term option of years. I then tried to enter 1.5 years, but that was interpreted by the generator as 15 years.

Is this simply a limitation of the generator and I can manually edit as you described without issue?

EDIT: I configured the shortcode manually and it triggered the following error on my payment form:

“Invalid form configuration. Invalid “tt, tp” attributes. The “tt” ( Trial Term ) attribute is “M”, and “tp” ( Trial Period ) > 12.”

Here’s the relevant portion of my shortcode config:

ta=”60″ tp=”18″ tt=”M” ra=”79″ rp=”1″ rt=”Y” rr=”1″

I find your answer more than a bit confusing.

How do I configure a payment option for 18 months (6 months free) where the customer is billed immediately upon subscribing, then billed each year (12 month period) thereafter after the initial 18 months are complete?

I’m familiar with how s2Member can be configured to offer a trial — but I don’t want to offer a trial. I simply want to offer the following:

An initial billing term of 18 months (6 months free) or 13 months (1 month free) depending on subscriber eligibility
– total months are inclusive in the subscription price for the first year
– there is no trial
– subscription is billed immediately
– subsequent billing terms are on an annual basis
– subscription cancellation results in the cancellation of auto-renewal for current subscription, but does not trigger a refund
