Gravity Forms + eStore + eMember

[acb323]

Hello,

I have 2 membership levels, Free and Paid.

The Free level doesn’t require approval, however the paid does. Since the approval is universal (and not per member level) I’ve decided to continue with my paid member sign up process using Gravity forms. Prior to using eMember/eStore I accepted Stripe payments via Gravity Forms. However, I’d now like to integrate my Gravity forms sign up process with my eStore Stripe payment acceptance.

This way paid members will be cancelled automatically if their payment doesn’t go thru, they can update their payment info or they can cancel with ease.

I’d like the paid membership process flow to go as follows:

— Register via Gravity Forms > Select Submit via Gravity Forms > Get Re-directed to Pay via eStore

— Manually Approve Membership > Add to eMember > send Paid Member Welcome email with login info

OR

Is there a way to accept Stripe via Gravity Forms and it be integrated with eStore to meet my goals?

Thanks!!

It is kind of odd trying to do this roundabout method of eMember user signup via Gravity forms just because of the manual approval process.

What you suggested can be done with some custom coding tweaks but the question is, do you really want to go down that path?

Would the following option work for you to have a manual approval process (kind of a workaround but much easier than trying to implement what you suggested with Gravity forms).

1) Create a new membership level where all your premium members get assigned to when they first signup. This is kind of a placeholder membership level that doesn’t give them access to any premium content.

2) You can have a specific after login page for this level that explains to the user that their account will have premium access AFTER an “admin” reviews their profile.

3) You (the site admin) can then check the members that are in this placeholder level (meaning the profiles need to be reviewed). If you approve, then change the membership level of this profile to the “real” premium membership level then save the profile. This means, their account is approved and the member can now access the premium content.

4) Optionally, you can send a notification email to this member in step 3 by using the “Send a Notification to the User” feature before you save the profile.
