Hi Jana,

The s2Member Pro Coupon Codes do not have those features. If you want to auto-generate codes and control the account(s) they can be accessed by, you’ll need to write some custom code to add that functionality. We recommend posting a job over at jobs.wordpress.net.

Hi Bob,

By default, s2Member sends a confirmation email. Please see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Signup Confirmation Email.

can you please point me to live sites or live demos that have each method so I can better understand it?

You may want to take a look here. You might also find other sites by browsing through the Community Forum.

no multi-purchases

You can do multiple purchases using the Specific Post/Page Buy Now feature (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Specific Post/Page (Buy Now) Buttons) and if you want to sell existing members additional features, you can do so using the Capability Buy Now feature (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Capability (Buy Now) Buttons).

no PayPal cart
no simple faux cart

Yes, that is correct. The current version of s2Member does not have any shopping cart features. However, we’re looking into possibly adding better functionality in that regard with the next major release of the software.

no form that can list multiple items before checkout

There is no feature built into s2Member to generate such a list, no, but you can certainly modify the Pro-Form templates to your liking. See Pre Sale FAQs » Is it possible to modify s2Member® Pro Form templates?

no user account page of any kind

We do provide a shortcode for generating a Profile Editor form that allows members to update their profile information and change their password: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Member Profile Modifications

where are the PayPal forms in free S2?

There are no “forms” in the free version of s2Member. The free version allows you to create PayPal buttons that integrate with s2Member: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons

where are the PayPal forms in Pro S2?

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms

Hi Karl,

http://www.elizabethmerendino.com is not a sub-domain; that’s a full domain. A sub-domain would be example.thewanderingguru.com.

If your web host has a feature that allows you to add additional full domains on your main hosting account, then you may want to contact them to see what’s going on (they can look at the server log files).

You’re welcome, Rakesh! :)

Hi Martyna,

s2Member integrates with email services like MailChimp and AWeber. You would need to migrate your email subscribers over to one of those services, not s2Member itself.

Hi Ronda,

Technical support questions should be asked in the Community Forum, but I’ll go ahead and reply to your questions here:

1. Is there a way for members to receive an automatic upgrade in levels after a certain period of time?

This could be scripted, but you’d need to write that custom script yourself or hire a programmer to do it. Automatic upgrade from one level to another is not currently a feature in s2Member.

2. Is there a way to have a welcome page specific to each membership level after they login?

Yes, this is possible. Please see this thread.

3. I am testing the site and after logging in as a new member I get a message saying “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”. How can I fix this.

That would indicate that the page your user is attempting to access has been restricted somewhere in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options. It’s possible that the page requires a higher Level of access than your test user has. I suggest checking your Restriction Options and going from there. Keep in mind that restriction options can also be set directly when editing the Post/Page itself using the s2Member panel on the edit page.

Hi Simon,

That functionality would be up to the payment gateway that you’re using and I don’t believe PayPal provides a “pause subscription” feature.

Hi Edward,

The next major release of s2Member hasn’t happened yet, but we’re still hard at work on it. There is not currently and ETA but we’ll make an announcement as soon as possible.

Hi Ryan,

The out of the box settings are all you need. The QuickCache plugin comes configured with the optimal defaults.

Hi Aphid,

Glad you figured it out. :) Thank you for sharing the code!

Kris,

The Auto-Return URL is not the same as the return page that purchasers see after checkout. The Auto-Return URL is used by s2Member to process the transactions on the back end.

If you use the success= attribute in your shortcodes, then when PayPal sends the visitor to http://mysite.com/wordpress/?s2member_paypal_return=1, s2Member will automatically redirect to the correct URL after checkout.

However, your success= attribute should contain the full URL, e.g. success=”http://mysite.com/thanks/”. You can use a different URL for each shortcode that you generate, so different buttons can redirect purchasers to different places.

Regarding your last question: If you want to sell a specific post or page without requiring membership access (i.e., you want to sell access to a post/page without an account being created for the purchaser), then you should use the Specific Post/Page (Buy Now) Buttons. The Capability (Buy Now) buttons are for selling additional features to existing members.

Hello,

We are adding support for PayPal Payments Advanced in the next major release of s2Member. There is no current ETA on that release, but we are working hard on it. We will make an announcement about that release as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
