eMember – Register then Pay

[yllw98stng]

I have chose to bypass the “Join-Us” page and take users straight to the registration form. Once they have filled out the registration form, they are presented with a page with my membership levels, each having a Paypal button. However, when I complete the Paypal button, I’m not automatically granted the proper membership level. Here is the workflow I would like:

1) User fills out registration

2) User selects membership level and pays via Paypal button

3) Once payment is complete, user is automatically upgraded to proper level of membership

Ideally, the same buttons would be used for new members and for members to pay for their renewal.

Thanks!

I suspect the reason the user was not automatically upgraded may have been because the Paypal address did not match the email they used to sign up for the site?

I believe you want to use the 2nd or the 3rd option explained in the registration process documentation:

Make the user log into the site before they pay. That way the plugin won’t have to rely on their PayPal email to match. When the user is logged into the site as a member and makes the payment, the plugin knows which member account that payment should be applied to.

You can protect the payment buttons so a user can’t pay unless they log into the site. This will force them to log in before they pay.

Alternatively, you can use the auto login after registration feature. Do the following:

1) Enable the auto login after registration option.

2) Use the payment page’s URL as the “after login” URL for this membership level.

You are using the WP eStore plugin to create the membership payment buttons correct?
