Hi.
I need to use the eStore plugin to charge monthly for certain user roles. After a purchase I need to automatically upgrade the new user to a new WP user role.
How can I best go about this?
I own the eMember plugin but I do NOT want to use this as I am using a different plugin for my clients profiles, etc. but there is no payment option there.
I greatly appreciate your help!

March 29, 2014 at 6:23 pm #61961wzpModeratorWell, since you do not want to use eMember; what you will have to do is manually do your post payment processing after the buyer completes their checkout, as though it were a physical product. eStore has no capability for modifying WordPress roles.
March 30, 2014 at 2:27 pm #61962BrentMemberThank you. Is there a setting to receive an email when this post is updated? I must have missed it.
So if I use eMember can I use the default WP roles? An how can I go about this?
Thanks again.

You can assign a WP user role to each eMember level. When a person logs into eMember, or upgrades their account to another level, they will take on the associated WP role:

So the other plugin creates a login so it appears that I need to use the “Auto Create an eMember Account When a WP User is Created by Another Plugin” setting. Am I correct?
If so, then how do I go about charging for each level? And then when a user upgrades to another level it will automatically upgrade their WP user role?
Thanks again, you’ve been very helpful.

Sounds like the best of both worlds to me.
March 30, 2014 at 6:28 pm #61966wzpModeratorYes.
April 3, 2014 at 4:46 am #61967BrentMemberThank you wzp!
So I have membership levels, roles, established and I have enabled the “Auto Create an eMember Account When a WP User is Created by Another Plugin” setting.
I have the following levels:
Free profile (role=Contributor) – free
Premium Profile (role=Author) – $20/month
Elite Profile (role=Editor) – $27/month
Now how do I go about charging for each level/WP user role? I am installing the eStore plugin now.
Also, when a user upgrades to the next level, how do I make that this happens?
Thank you again,
Brent

I’m not quite sure of the upgrading. How can I go about testing?
Thanks,
