Track new user account creation via paid membership pro

[Nudeweb]

I am using Paid membership pro and currently have all levels set to free. I am suing the sweet date WP theme. I also have the following in functions.php to automatically assign new users to the promotional offer of top level membership (at the moment it’s free).

/* assign all new users to chosen member automatically */

add_action(‘user_register’, ‘kleo_pmpro_default_level’);

function kleo_pmpro_default_level($user_id) {

pmpro_changeMembershipLevel(4,$user_id);

}

I want to be able to pay affiliates for these membership signups, even though they are free. At the moment these are not being tracked as a sales conversion, only the referrals are being tracked. How can I track the free sign ups? Or perhaps just track new WP users?

Is there a function I can add that hooks on the sign up that will trigger a conversion for commission payment?

My recommendation would be to capture those signups as lead and then you can award commission later manually by going to the leads menu. Here is the documentation on how you can capture users as leads:

API – Capturing a Lead via HTTP GET or POST

I recommend capturing them as leads first because that way you are not giving out commission for FREE signups without any kind of manual checks. It is bound to be abused by users when you directly give commission for free signups without some manual checks in the middle.

With that said, if you do want to give commission for those signups then take a look at the following documentation:

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have tried the following in functions.php but it still does not register the signup.

add_action(‘user_register’, ‘mo_affilliate_signup’);

function mo_affilliate_signup() {

global $members_template;

$sale_amt = “19.95”; //TODO – The commission will be calculated based on this amount

$unique_transaction_id = “FREE-Signup”; //TODO – The unique transaction ID for reference

$email = $members_template->member->user_email; //TODO – Customer email for record

$referrer = $_COOKIE;

do_action(‘wp_affiliate_process_cart_commission’, array(“referrer” => $referrer, “sale_amt” =>$sale_amt, “txn_id”=>$unique_transaction_id, “buyer_email”=>$email));

}

The sale amount is irrelevant for me as it’s a fixed sign up commission of $1, unless if necessary I’m not bothered about a unique transaction_id as there is no real transaction.

Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong please.

Did you make sure that the “mo_affilliate_signup” function is actually getting executed?

Also, you can enable debug in the affiliate plugin then check the log file which will tell you if the affiliate plugin is receiving this notification or not.

Regarding the sale amount, set it to a value that will turn out to be $1 commission (based on whatever commission rate you have set on your site).

You can handle the transaction ID like the following (it will generate a unique ID for each execution):

$unique_transaction_id = uniqid();

I have amended the function as follows but it breaks the site

add_action(‘user_register’, ‘mo_affilliate_signup’);

function mo_affilliate_signup() {

global $members_template;

$sale_amt = “19.95”; //TODO – The commission will be calculated based on this amount

$unique_transaction_id = uniqid(); //TODO – The unique transaction ID for reference

$email = $members_template->member->user_email; //TODO – Customer email for record

$referrer = $_COOKIE;

do_action(‘wp_affiliate_process_cart_commission’, array(“referrer” => $referrer, “sale_amt” =>$sale_amt, “txn_id”=>$unique_transaction_id, “buyer_email”=>$email));

}

Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong please?

[Nudeweb]

OK found why the site was breaking I had the function in twice in functions.php

But could you tell me how to check to see if the function is being executed?

[Nudeweb]

Seems to be working!, Sorry for the convoluted thread.

After searching for this solution for days I’m happy to have found this. My setup is pretty much the same as Nudewebs; Same theme and payment plugin and the above code is working except for some reason it does not pass the email. Meaning it does not show the user’s email in the backend in WP affiliate admin. Any ideas on this?

If there is some way to pass the $userid to the WP affiliate admin section? That would be great as it is easier to search members with their username ($userid) than it is email.

Thanks!

Do a test echo statement in your code to make sure that the following actually has an eamil address value in it:

$members_template->member->user_email;

You don’t have to pass the email address. Instead you could pass the userid via the email parameter. As long as you know that the field labeled “Email” is actually the user’s userid, there will be no issue.

I tried putting $userid in place of $email bit that didn’t produce anything either.

I’m not a programmer, so not sure if I need to do more than that.

Thanks.

I am actually not familiar with that other plugin so I don’t know what exact value to use. If you need a custom job done then fill in the following form and we can take a look at it:
