payment before registration

[cleeonline]

I have two questions about subscription and cancellation.

1. How can I set up a subscribe button like https://timcast.com/, where subscribers need to pay before registering an account? After the payment is made, paid subscribers are redirected to a webpage where they are asked to complete the registration process.

2. I understand that when utilizing PayPal subscription method (month-to-month), we are the 3rd party to members and PayPal. When subscribers cancel their accounts, they cancel it on our website, but they will still be charged on monthly basis. Subscribers need to cancel their subscription inside PayPal or we need to login to our PayPal account to release them from payment. Is there any automatic way to do that?

Please provide some guidance. Thanks.

You would use Member Signup Scenario 1. Note, you are responsible for designing your own “buttons,” which would kick off the registration process.

If the subscriber logs into their PayPal account, and then cancels a recurring payment (subscription), PayPal will send an IPN message to eMember and the membership will be immediately deactivated.

I understand this. My question is that how I can allow my members to cancel their subscription plan on MY SITE without logging in to their PayPal accounts. The paypal procedures are very tedious and my members won’t like it.

The only way to do this is if you are using eStore, along with the Payment Gateway Bundle addon, to process subscriptions using the PayPal Payments Pro Subscription (Premium) service. This enables your site to process all aspects of credit card payments locally. However, PayPal has very rigid requirements for vetting sites that use the Pro service.
