Force Member Registration with Buy Now

[morsagmon]

I’m using a link to implement a “Buy Now” action, which redirects the customer automatically to PayPal for payment. When transaction is completed, the customer received two emails: confirmation email with download link and license key, and an invitation to complete registration email.

I don’t want to complete the sale unless the customer has registered as an eMember – something similar to scenario #3 here:

I do have the “Only Logged In Members Can Checkout” checked.

I don’t have a “Checkout” page, nor a Cart, it’s just a “Buy Now” action I’m triggering with a link on button (Something like that: excellench.com/my-page/?wp_eStore_buy_now=1).

How can I achieve this process:

1. “Buy Now” is triggered.

2. If user is not logged as a member – force a registration form with eMember level assignment fixed as per the selected product (user cannot change that).

3. Continue to PayPal for transaction completion

4. No need for “Complete your registration” email to be sent

Thanks!

Use the section protection feature of WP eMember plugin to to hide your buy now button or link so only the members can see and interact with the button/link:

How to Protect a Section of a Post or Page (Partial Protection)

There is an option that lets you enter a custom message for the section protection shortcode. In that message, you can say that if someone is not a member, then they need to register for an account. This will force them to go through the process the way you want them (you basically control the flow).
