WP eMember and Affiliate Integration Problems

[minnesotafats]

Hi Guys,

I am building a subscription membership site and just purchased the emember and the wp affiliate plugin and am having a little trouble integrating the affiliate plugin. I was reading some of the other threads to see if I could find the solution and then thought I would just ask…

I* am using the newest build of the plugin. I did a trial purchase thru a banner ad setup as an affiliate. It did not credit the affiliate account with the sale and it did NOT send the registration email to the person signing up. I think I added all the right variables to the paypal button ( I am using option 2 ) my variables are below

<input type=”hidden” name=”notify_url” value=”http://www.audioenlightenment.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/ipn_handler.php”&gt;

custom=subsc_ref=2

<input type=”hidden” name=”custom” value=”<?php echo $_COOKIE; ?>”>

Also, I was reading another thread and you mentioned the ipn had to be enabled in paypal and when I checked , mine was not. But they ask for a URL for that function? Which URL should I add there?

So, basically, I am not getting credited for affiliate sales and the subscriber is NOT getting the register email so they can complete there signup..

Appreciate the help, Thanks Guys

You can use your site’s homepage URL when you enabled IPN in PayPal. the button you created will override that value at the time of purchase.

The only issue I see is that PayPal only allows you to specify one “Notify URL” per button but if you are trying to use that same button for both affiliate plugin and eMember plugin it won’t work because the affiliate plugin needs the notify URL to be following:

http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/ipn_handler.php

Whereas the eMember plugin will need the notify URL value to be the following:

http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/ipn/eMember_handle_paypal_ipn.php

If you are going to use both eMember and the affiliate plugin together then use them with eStore to overcome this “notify URL” limitation of PayPal.

You can create PayPal subscription payment buttons using eStore and use that for your membership payment. Check the 3rd video from this page for details:

OK, just bought and uploaded estore…now I’m more confused then before

Am I using the variables in PayPal to make my subscription button still or is it all configured in estore?

is there any chance I can pay one of you smart dudes to integrate estore, emember and wp affiliate for me?

thanks

Yes you can definitely pay but you won’t need to. Forget anything you you have done with that PayPal button. Using it with eStore is even simpler (you don’t have to do anything with a PayPal button anymore).

Just to familiarize yourself first, do exactly what this 3rd video says and you will have a membership “Buy Button” (that is hooked with eMember and affiliate):

Once you understand the basics, you can move forward and make a subscription button:

1. Create a eStore subscription product. Here is the documentation:

2. Hook this product with a membership level using the “Reference Text” field of the product you created in step 1 (The video you watched shows you how to do this). Here is the documentation if you need:

I appreciate your confidence my friend but I have just spent the last 4 hours trying what you suggested…I think the problem is that I have been working on this site for the last 6 months and was suppose to launch 2 weeks ago and I am totally burnt…I would VERY much like to pay you to do this for me if you wouldn’t mind so I can get on to other things. We are going to get a lot of affiliate when i launch and i cant afford to have my stupidity screw up the launch…I am more a design dude then a tech dude
