Setting up recurring payment using eStore and eMember

[Aswad]

Hello,

I am preparing a simple membership site with only one paid membership level using eMember and eStore.

The Total price is 60$, but I want my customers to test the part of the product before paying the full price.

I want members to pay 12$ for a 2 day trial,

Then 48$ (one time only) two days later if they don’t cancel. There won’t be any other payment beyond that point.

1- I need to make sure of how to setup recurring payment in eStore correctly (On your site, the video tutorials are mentioned as : do not exist).

2- What code do I have to use on my sales page ?

[wp_eStore_subscribe:product_id:PRODUCT-ID:end] does not work, and [wp_eStore_buy_now_fancy id=1] show the full price 60$ instead of 12 and 48 later. I’m lost.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I can set payment with buy now type button. Please confirm that the registration process to become a member is the same weither I use : [wp_eStore_buy_now:product_id:1:end] or [wp_eStore_buy_now_fancy id=1] (it should, I’m just checking).

On the other hand, when I try to set up a subscription payment with eStore, paypal says it cannot process the request. I cannot find my way out.

I want to make this work with eMember.

Your help is highly appreciated… and needed.

The registration process is the same whenever you use the eStore and eMember integration explained here:

WP eMember and WP eStore Integration for Membership Payment

“paypal says it cannot process the request” – this means you have made a mistake in one of the values that you specified in the subscription button. Can you please post the exact values of the subscription section so I can see which part is wrong?

Here it is :

In the product detail section, I only wrote the product name.

Product price is empty.

Trial Billing Amount -> 12.00

Trial Billing Period -> 2 days

Recurring Billing Amount -> 48.00

Recurring Billing Cycle -> 0

Recurring Billing Count -> 0

Reattempt on failure -> Checked

Should you check directly on my site I sent you a mail with admin parameters.

thanks for your help.

Hi Aswad, It appears you have not set the “Recurring Billing Cycle”. This tells PayPal when they need to charge the subscription (e.g. every 1 month, 2 weeks, 1 day). You must specify this. Please check this and retest your purchase.

[amin007]

Obviously you haven’t read the help text for that field which says the following

“Leave this field empty if you want the payment to continue to recur at the regular rate until the subscription is canceled. Enter -1 if you want to configure a once off payment.”

So all you need to do is use “-1” in the recurring billing count field as you are trying to create a once off payment.

Trial Billing Amount -> 12.00

Trial Billing Period -> 2 days

Recurring Billing Amount -> 48.00

Recurring Billing Cycle -> 1

Recurring Billing Count -> -1

Reattempt on failure -> Checked

I know what you mean. I always tell my members to read the infos, because I know they don’t.

Now the problem is different since I had already done this, but did not work. Thinking that I miss understood, I took it away.

With or without the correction you mention, the problem remains. That’s why I insist on asking for you help.

I’ve sent you my admin info by email in case you had to check it out.

I’ll wait for your answer. Be sure I’m sorry to annoy you like that.

The recurring billing cycle was set to 0. PayPal do not accept this value. Changed it 1 and it seem to be working fine now. Let me know how you go.

[Aswad]

Thank you Amin.

It’s perfect now.

Have a great day.

It usually happens withing a few hours but remember, the lowest granularity PayPal gives you is in Days (not hours).
