ParticipantI see where you can “simulate” a BUY NOW button action with a text link. (BTW – This is not documented very well. It took me a while to finally figure out that I had to install the additional shortcodes plugin.) Can the same thing be done for a subscription?
Related to this (but I could not find any info on this either)…
What happens if you put in both a “regular” price and a “subscription” price for the same product? If I put a “Buy Now” button, does the plugin assume it is a one-time payment or does it turn it into a subscription?

KeymasterI was nearly done adding this subscription text link feature so wanted to reply after I was done. If you get a new build of the extra shortcodes plugin from here you will be able to use the subscription text link feature:

The following text link is an example of how you can use it. It lets the user purchase subscription Product “1” via a “Subscription” type button:
http://www.your-domain.com/?wp_eStore_subscribe=1Replace “1” with the actual ID of the eStore subscription product and “your-domain.com” with your own domain name where you have the plugin installed.

ParticipantYou the MAN! I really wondered to myself if that could be what you were doing. Thanks! That’s GREAT! Just what I needed!

SpectatorHello,
This is not working for me and just re-directs to my home page, any thoughts?

ModeratorPlease be more specific, on what you are trying to do, and what you tried doing.

SpectatorI tried using this on a text link:
[http://electrofx.com/?wp_eStore_subscribe=51]
There is a product 51 and that is my domain name but it just redirects to my home page
Best,
Theo

ModeratorYou need to install the Extra eStore Shortcodes addon.

Also, make sure your cache is cleared.
