I just heard back from Unbounce and here is what they said:


Unfortunately taking a look into this shortcode, the issue appears to be that it does not seem to be valid HTML format to embed to the Unbounce pages. Because this is third-party code from s2member, we would not be able to troubleshoot this directly not having written the code ourselves. We would recommend returning back to your resource for this snippet and request a chunk of valid embedding HTML code for your ClickBank shopping cart buttons.

How can I create valid embedding html code?

Thanks-

What do I do if I cannot use the shortcode in my situation- If shortcode is not accepted on my site (since it’s with unbounce)? I tried using the shortcode in Unbounce and it will not work.

Thanks for the very quick response. Hopefully it works in unbounce. Unfortunately I won’t be able to edit in my WP dashboard since Unbounce is a separate system.

Ok thanks. I will try this. Unbounce is not on wordpress. It’s a separate visual editor for landing pages. I will try the shortcode on that.

Also I still have not gotten clarification from you on this question:

To get the right image, I go into the s2member directory and change image=”default” to image=”http://unbouncepages-com.s3.amazonaws.com/passion.liveyourlegend.net/official-launch/left-side.original_4qd4yjxjgeh2e0hs.jpg”
Is this correct?

Should this be the last step?

Thanks,
Scott

I don’t understand how to put the short code into my visual editor in Unbounce for my landing page.

Also, you still didn’t answer all the other questions I asked above. I copied them again below.

1. How do I use the short code when I have multiple imagines that can be clicked to purchase (such as the download button, the image of the price, a smaller download button, and a text download link). I don’t understand how one short code will work for each of these.

From my last entry:

2. Ok so to be clear, I go into the s2member directory and change image=”default” to image=”http://unbouncepages-com.s3.amazonaws.com/passion.liveyourlegend.net/official-launch/left-side.original_4qd4yjxjgeh2e0hs.jpg”
Is this correct?

3. Then what do I do with the short code especially since I have multiple buy images above.

Also, once I change the short code for the button, how can I insert it onto my sales page since everything has been placed using a visual editor? There must be a way to just add different linked text/code to the button image, no?

I really appreciate your help Christian, but I just cannot believe how long this has taken to resolve and how complicated it’s been (at least for a non technical guy like me). I really really need to get it complete next week (Since you’re already gone this week). I have lost a number of sales due to this page not being secure and I purchased your service to fix that.

I know it’s not you’re fault. I am just a bit frustrated. Please let me know how we can get this resolved.

Thanks,
Scott

Then what do I do with the short code?

And what about the fact that there are other images and links on my sales page that go to the order page. For instance, if they click the image of the price, it takes them to the order page. What do I do about this?

Also, once I change the short code for the button, how can I insert it onto my sales page since everything has been placed using a visual editor? There must be a way to just add different linked text/code to the button image, no?

Please let me know on all these things.

Thanks- I really hope we’re getting close to having this all set up. Amazing how much is involved in what I thought was simple process ;)

I see.

Yes the only difference is the button image as you can see on my sales page passion.liveyourlegend.net/official-launch/.

I am hosting that with unbounce. What is the process for using my image with your short code? Im not familiar with using short codes like this (or really any way for that matter).

Do you think this will solve my problem with the integration or do I still have other things to fix based on my explanation?

Thanks!
Scott

Posted: Thursday May 17th, 2012 at 4:34 pm #13798

Thanks. I am almost sure I logged out and then clicked on the buy link and I got that same error.

I think I do need to hard code the link on my sales page for the buy button since my buy button is different than the standard clickbank one you guys provide.

Given that I have my own button I want to use, how do I make that button link to the sales page, using the S2member link code? I don’t think I can use the short code in this case on my sales page.

Please let me know-

I used that code and it brought me to the order page on clickbank. Then I used a test credit card it gave me this error message:
—–
[ liveyourlegend.net ] says…
ERROR: Unable to modify Subscription.
Please contact Support for assistance.

The existing User ID is associated with an Administrator. Stopping here. Otherwise, an Administrator could lose access. Please make sure that you are NOT logged in as an Administrator while testing.

I logged out of WP and tried again. Then I used my wife’s email and name for the test purchase and tried again. The same thing happened both times.

What is causing this?

Also to be sure i have this right, here is what I put for my clickbank secret key url:

Instant Notification URL:
http://liveyourlegend.net/?s2member_pro_clickbank_notify=1 version: 2.1

Thanks-

I just went through the test purchase process and got this error on the thank you page once I completed the purchase:

—–
[ liveyourlegend.net ] says…
ERROR: Unable to verify $_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”].
Please contact Support for assistance.

If you are the site owner, please check the custom value in your Button Code. It MUST start with your domain name.

Please let me know what to do next.

Thanks!

Thanks Cristian. That’s encouraging that that thank you page should not have been working. Will try it right now.

Im still confused about the clickbank button or “another image” as you mentioned below. I don’t know why I’d need any of this. Is any of this necessary? What page would this image or button go on and where would it take people? I already have a sales page with buy links to clickbank. What else do I need?

I’m referring to this exchange we had from above:

Scott: Also, do I need to use a clickbank button in order to integrate with clickbank or is that just an extra feature?
Cristian: No, you can use another image if you want. There’s an image attribute in the shortcode for the button, which lets you enter the URL to your custom one. Dashboard -› s2Member® -› ClickBank® Buttons -› Shortcode Attributes -> image

Thanks!
Scott

Hey Cristian –

I thought I had everything set up but then when I went to test out the clickbank thank you page it says:

By test out, I mean I copied the Thank you page URL and pasted it in my browser “http://liveyourlegend.net/?s2member_pro_clickbank_return=1”

“ERROR: Unable to verify POST vars. Please contact Support for assistance.

This is most likely related to an invalid ClickBank® configuration. If you are the site owner, please check: s2Member -> ClickBank® Options.”

How do I fix this? I believe I did everything you said.

I also saw that you said:

“The panels have the instructions you need for the integration with s2Member. ClickBank itself needs you to fill out some extra things on their side, besides the values that s2Member gives you, though, like that pitch page and I don’t remember if there’s something else.”

What are all the things I need to do on the clickbank side? I am not seeing these instructions.

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks Cristián. For some reason I’m still having a ton of trouble setting this up. Unfortunately about the throw my hands up on it… Would love to make it work though.

Also, do I need to use a clickbank button in order to integrate with clickbank or is that just an extra feature?

Thanks,
Scott

Ok Im making it through the steps but have a couple questions.

1. For my Thank You page that one is taken to right after clickbank purchase, I am currently using: http://liveyourlegend.net/thank-your-for-purchasing-live-off-your-passion/

Will I need to change this page or edit it according to “Clickbank Thank-You Page”? in s2member settings. Does this require custom coding?

based on what is says, it seems like I dont need to change this thank page. According to this: “Everything else, including the textual response and other important details that each Customer needs to know about, are already handled dynamically by s2Member (based on the type of transaction that is taking place ).”

2. From this thank you page, will they be taken to a page to create their account on my site?

3. Then will they get the “Signup Confirmation Email Message”?

4. At what point do they get to the page to download the product? That page will need to be my welcome page which they are taken to after they create their account. Will they need to get the “Signup Confirmation Email Message”. Before accessing the download page in the members area?

Also do I need to do anything with Clickbank buttons in s2member?

Thanks – again if there’s any quick (possibly outsourced) solution for non technical folks please let me know.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks guys. I am trying to follow these steps, it’s just a lot more challenging than I’d thought, given that I don’t have a technical background. Is there any service to get this done or easier way to do this?

Or any full set of step by step instructions. I figured others would have similar issues but maybe not…

Any help goes a long way.

Cheers,
Scott

Thank you Cristian –

Would be really nice if there was a video or tutorial on this stuff because it does not seem totally clear (for a non tech savvy guy like myself).

I did all that you suggested and filled in the proper Clickbank API Keys, but it looks like your instructions only tell me part of what I will need. I don’t know what to do next.

What about all the other areas under Clickbank Options in S2Member. Do I need to fill those out, like IPN v2.1 Integration, etc?

To give you a better idea of what I’m trying to do, here is what I will need S2Member to do with Clickbank:
I have a course that is a zip file download.
I am selling it through Clickbank.
I need to use S2Member to password protect the course download page on my site – so the the page cannot be easily shared by non purchasers.

So when someone buys my course through clickbank I need the following to happen:
1. They are taken to a “thank you” page on my site.
2. This thank you page will be the page where they create their S2Member account
3. Once they create their S2Member account, they will be able to login.
4. As soon as they create their login, they will automatically be added to my aweber “purchasers” list
5. The first page they log in to will be the page that offers the download link.

Please tell me what else I have to do to set up this functionality.

Btw, I am not very tech savvy at all so the more guidance the better.

Thanks so much!

Sott
