You’ll find that in the shortcode itself, in the description attribute. Just edit the value of desc to what you want. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes -> desc[/hilite]

About searching hundreds of files for something, it’s possible with some text editors. I use EditPlus, but there are others.

I hope that helps. :)

You can edit the form’s template to some extent, this article will help: http://www.s2member.com/kb/pro-forms/#customizing-pro-forms

And of course you can style it with your CSS. The pro-form has plenty of IDs and classes that will help with the selectors. To remove the line under the headings, for example, you could do

div.s2member-pro-paypal-form-section-title {border: 0;}

I hope that helps. :)

No problem. I’m glad you sorted it out! Thanks for the update. :)

Sorry, I missed the previous reply.

The reason why that may work over the other could be a server configuration thing, maybe for security reasons. The one they suggested has the variable’s value URL encoded. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

I see the Member’s Home link is in the footer. I’m not sure if it’s in your theme’s options or you used a widget.

Or, use a PayPal-generated button that is a “hosted button”

Just keep in mind guys, that these will only work for new signups, not upgrades of existing users.

I bought the pro (just to support your work)

Thank you! :)

I always thought I need https and database to store the payment info on my own server so I never used the pro form.

No, that’s not the case. We’ve purposely avoided storing the payment info, to let the payment gateway deal with the implications that it carries, making it easier for you guys.

The pro-form doesn’t even require PayPal Pro, it can work with just PayPal Express Checkout. In the shortcode change the accept to just “paypal”: [hilite mono]accept="paypal"[/hilite].

If you allow the PayPal account to be optional in your PayPal settings, and you’re selling Buy Now, the user can pay with his card on PayPal when checking out. If you’re selling a subscription, he’ll be required to login to PayPal. Just as with PayPal Standard buttons.

@Jason, could you confirm that his existing user subscriptions will keep working fine when he starts using Express Checkout? I imagine it’s fine because the PayPal Standard account remains the same, which is not the case when upgrading to PayPal Pro if I remember correctly. Just making sure.

Hmm… I’d double check that you didn’t miss any of these requirements: Knowledge Base » s2Member® Security Badges

And if that’s not enough, I’d do these: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

No problem. :)

You could probably do that if you protect the subscription one with a level, the permanent one with a custom capability (ccap), and configure the EOT behavior to leave ccaps untouched on demotion.

I hope that helps. :)

Don’t know what could be causing it. I know it’s not an s2Member error…

Have you checked with your webhost?

1. I need a way to protect Thank You page from being accessed by anyone except for those who came to this page from Clickbank (http referral being *.clickbank or something similar). I understand that this is achievable by some function in the mu-plugins or perhaps allowing PHP in the page and make a conditional statement?

The thank-you page, if it’s a custom one, needs to be public, because a new customer won’t have an account yet, so he’ll still be a visitor until he registers and logs in. If you protect the thank-you page, he’ll be taken there after checkout and bounced to the Membership Options Page.

If you don’t have the thank-you page in your navigation, or let it be indexed by search engines, then only those that actually purchased will see it. Right?

About the tracking, wouldn’t the signup work better?

And here’s an article that may help: Knowledge Base » Google® Analytics ECommerce Tracking

2. I am trying to get my site s2member security certified and I passed all the check list however the test url always return 0 without giving any further notices. How to troubleshoot why it doesn’t return 1 as long as the site meets all the requirements?

Have you verified that you have no files in your s2member-logs directory? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Log Files (Debug) -› s2Member® Log Viewer[/hilite]

I hope that helps. :)

Our account type is PayPal Payments Pro.

Thanks for confirming it.

Should I only have one or the other? Is our problem caused by having both sets of API info in the s2Member PayPal Options?

If you have PayPal Pro (PayFlow Edition), then you need to have all those. If you don’t have the PayFlow Edition, then you should leave the PayFlow panel empty in your s2Member configuration.

Did they mention that you have the PayFlow Edition of PayPal Pro? Can you confirm that?

Also, make sure that your account is tied to the PayFlow account, they have different logins and I remember a site owner having trouble because the account seemed to not be tied together, if I remember correctly.

Also, if you want to sell a subscription you’ll need to have Recurring Payments enabled in your PayPal account, and if you have the PayFlow Edition, for Express Checkout to work you’ll need to have PayPal enable Reference Transactions.

Thanks for sharing it. :)

I’m glad. :)
