Registration problems – no registration form, no email.

  • When people want to sign up for a membership, they click on the paypal button. Then it take them to paypal where they are supposed pay and then get an email with their login and password. So I have some questions:

    (1)Is there be a way to have them fill the info in a registration form before clicking on the paypal button? (without pro?) Should there be a registration form or did I miss setting that up?

    (2) How do I get a free user to get a login/register? (where does that come in?)

    (3) After my sample user clicked on the paypal button, they never recieved the email with the login info, nor was the user added to the user database. I did install wp_mail_log and discovered that the email was indeed sent. Paypal did set up the auto payments. Now what?

    I am obviously new at this, and I’ve been searching for the answers but haven’t found anything.

  • (1) the process is that the user will pay at Paypal and should then be redirected to register an account on your site. As far as i know, only the pro-form allows the process done the other way around (or just NOT going to Paypal).

    (2) Check under General Option > Open registration and allow open registration. Then, you can create a button or a link directing them to the wp registration page: /wp-login.php?action=register.

    (3) i am not sure about this one. Surely someone more knowledgeable will answer that question.

    You’d use the WP registration form first to create a free account, and then after logging in you’d upgrade it using the PayPal button generated with the s2 shortcode for it.

    Paying doesn’t create the user, user creation is done on the registration page. If the user is not logged in when he loads the page with the PayPal button, then the payment will go towards a new signup. After checkout he’ll be returned to your site and then he can go to the registration page to signup.

    The email with the username and password is sent to him after registering the account, not before. After checkout, what the site sends him is s2Member’s Signup Confirmation email. WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Signup Confirmation Email

    I hope that helps. ??
