[Plugin: Paid Memberships Pro] downloadable products reoccuring payments

  • Hello,
    Great Plugin…few questions….

    What is the easiest way to handle downloadable products with your plugin (free version). I have WPMU installed with your extra code for that where new users are asked to create a blog.

    Would I be able to create a membership for the downloadable product page without the option to create a blog? Then I could just have when they purchase the “downloadable product memebership” — they would be redirected to the page to download the file.

    I think this might not work because I might not be able to disable the blog signup for certain membership levels. If not, which ecommerce plugin do you receommend for charging for downloadable products.

    — different topic —–

    Do I have to have reoccuring payments with paypal or can I just have the new user agree to have their card billed every 30 days. Until I know this site will work then I’ll signup for the automatic billing.

    Thanks for you great work.

    Setup the membership level for the downloadable product on one of the networks sites (not the main blog where new users get their own blog). Direct users to a page locked down for members that has the file download on it.

    You can something like this to your .htaccess to protect your file downloads:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-content/uploads/(.*)$ /wp-content/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/services/getfile.php [L]

    Make sure you have the path to your uploads folder correct, and be careful this doesn’t interfere with any plugins that store files in the uploads folder. You’ll have to add exceptions for them. (JWPlayer is a plugin that has issues like this.)

    RE recurring payments, PMPro doesn’t save the customer’s credit card number. So if you don’t create a recurring subscription, they will have to come back and pay every month. So go with the recurring billing module if you need it or maybe package your membership into quarterly or annual fees that aren’t as tedious to reup every time.
