Looking for instructions to WP Affiliate, WishList and eStore integration

[Cyndi]

I have experience with each of the products in the subject line; but having trouble linking all three to work together for a client. Also when I put in the PayPal code for a product it says it’s improper code (I’ve even tried putting in the “email link” code since it doesn’t contain all the extra coding and that didn’t work either), says it’s an invalid code.

The URL specified in the “Button Redirect Target URL” field does not seem to be a valid URL! Please check this value again:

You are actually not truly using eStore’s payment processing which is why its not working.

If you are going to use a PayPal hosted button then there is no need to hook it with eStore the way you have done it. PayPal hosted buttons cannot be processed via eStore. So you have to make a decision first. Your choices are:

1) Use PayPal hosted button without eStore at all

2) Use eStore to create your payment button (you don’t need any PayPal hosted button for this)

Option 1) If you choose option #1 then you can directly integrate this hosted PayPal button with the affiliate plugin without eStore. Here the documentation for this:

Option 2) If you choose option #2 then simply watch eStore’s video tutorial to learn how to create a payment button with eStore and use that for your WishList membership payment. The following two documentation will help:

Oh, thank you for the quick reply. So do we really need the estore plugin? Just need to make sure affiliates get credited for sales but also process signups and get them into WishList.

Using the eStore plugin is better but Given your scenario, you don’t need the eStore plugin.

Super.

Re Option #1: Can I use the email link that PayPal provides (instead of the button code)? Isn’t that how you would use the button url redirect in such a case?

Like Cyndi, I want to make sure affiliate sales get counted and affiliates get paid but I don’t really have any other need for estore in this case. So would the email link do the same job if I were using Option #1?

[admin]

Yes, if you are using option #1 the email link will work fine.
