Really? Dummy data? What specific strings of data should I use? Is there a rudimentary set of characters I should use?

So I can just put dummy data in, and not use any payment gateway through S2 member Pro? With this being said, since now the user has a free account, couldn’t I then use a new payment gateway/plugin of my choice? Would I still be able to protect links for payment buttons on the new plug-in/payment method from logged out users?

Thanks

Hey Cristián,

I understand the login widget. But, I don’t understand the PHP part. Is there anyway that I can post the login form on a regular word press page, and style it accordingly?

Also, I’ve figured out how to use the free registration forms…

But it is true that I do have to have one or multiple payment gateways set up in order to make this work, correct?

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for the quick response. Allow me to clarify my second question that you have block quoted…

I have a button short code (theme shortcodes) that allow me to place a link inside the button. Can’t I just place the generated link for that button?

Also onto the third question…

I’m not wanting to use another gateway, I’m just wanting to use an additional plug-in that has a few more features for e-commerce. I still want to use PayPal… So couldn’t I theoretically allow registration for new users, and not do anything with payments and S2 member Pro? Couldn’t I just use s2 member Pro for user access and rely on another plug-in for the payment process?

Thanks

Thanks, but my questions are still unanswered. :)

1) So, do I have to use an S2Member Pro payment gateway selection in order to make the registration form work on my website?

2) How customizable will it be to use the PayPal pro buttons for buy now? Will I be able to use a short code button like the ones in my WP theme?

3) Will I be able to use other plug-ins that are for payment gateway with S2Member Pro?

Basically the only function (for now) I want S2 member Pro to do is force the user to create an account, hide selected links on a specific services page until successful account creation (free) or login, and send email links with welcome message and password. The links that I would like S2 member Pro to hide are going to be links that are going to be used with another payment gateway plug-in system.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply. However, I am still a little bit confused about the next steps. As you see here: http://getmypressrelease.com/ , I have got a registration and sign in link that go to the sign-up page here: http://getmypressrelease.com/sign-up .

I’m not really sure what the next step is. When I tried to login on the sign-up page, it says my PayPal configuration is not complete yet. Do I have to actually configure PayPal or a payment gateway configuration in order to get new registration? I’ll show a screenshot for you to show what it looks like when I try to sign up from a browser that I’m not logged into :

Is there anyway I could use s2member pro with another payment gateway?

Thanks

Josh

@Cristián @Raam,

Yes this helps. However, I’m not sure what you mean by the “free registration pro-form”. Could this be a short code that I can place anywhere in my site, and style it accordingly? If so, what’s the code?

About the login welcome page: I would like this to be the homepage. I’m wanting to put my (3) three services on that same homepage. But when a new user that (hasn’t made an account) clicks on one of the services, I want that user to be taken to a page where they have to create an account first.

So, are you saying that upon clicking the activation email link, I can take them back to the same homepage that my same services are on, and they can purchase one of those services?

Here is the link that I’m trying to build this on. you will see an example of the three services that are on the homepage. I basically want them disabled until the user account is created, then they will be taken to the shopping cart/checkout.

I really appreciate your help. :-)

Thanks.

Hello, and thank you for the detailed response. I understand a little bit about what you’ve written, but have more details that could help you better help me. :)

I only want to use the basic subscription level (for everyone other than me; admin). For example, a new visitor lands on my homepage. They will then be presented with three purchasing options. If they click on one of those three purchase options (buttons), I want the website to redirect them to a page where they are forced to create a new account. In that page, I would like it to explain the verbiage that they need to know in order to purchase after their account is created. After they create the account, they will then need to confirm email. The only requirement for purchase is that they create an account, and log in. They can then choose one of the three services for purchase, either checking out on site or off-site.

How would I achieve this exactly?

Thanks

Josh

Thank you for the quick reply.

I downloaded a plug-in called: Custom Login Widget.

It works great, and I can place it just about anywhere. But whenever I go to (registering new account), it says that this isn’t able to be done. Is this a limitation of my wordpress settings?

Additionally: I would like to style my login almost in the same way that you have yours on this website here at S2Member. The only thing that I would change are the color of the buttons.

Thanks for your help.

@VegasKev Stripe would really be nice. @Raam It’s been a few days since this last post, and I’m curious to know if you’ve gotten any updates on this?

Thanks
