Help Integrating WP Affiliate with WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart

[h4baine]

Is it possible to integrate WP Affiliate with WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart? I have WP Affiliate and the WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart looks like an easier approach than doing the Paypal button integration. I am using Optimize Press as well but I don’t think that should affect how I take payments. I am just looking for a simpler way to take payments via Paypal that integrates with WP Affiliate and Optimizepress without having to get into too much developer work.

Hi, Simple PayPal Shopping Cart is already integrated with WP Affiliate Platform. Once the Simple Cart plugin is installed you just need to enable the Use WP Affiliate Platform option in the Settings. It’s under Settings->WP Shopping Cart->PayPal and Shopping Cart Settings section.

That’s great! Just one more question : does Simple Paypal Shopping Cart support recurring billing?

No, the simple cart doesn’t have subscription functionality.

Ah bummer! What is the best way to do this with Optimize Press, WP Affiliate and Paypal and be able to offer a payment plan via recurring billing?

Just use the affiliate plugin, optimizepress and a standard PayPal subscription button.

Check the 2nd PayPal integration method from the following page which explains how to integration the affiliate plugin with a paypal subscription button:

Alternatively, you can use WP Affiliate plugin, WP eStore and optimizepress. WP eStore has PayPal subscription capability and it integrates with the affiliate plugin too.
