WP Affiliate paypal questions

[iEnvision]

I’m using WP Affiliate and paypal and nothing else.

The product I’m selling has a paid trial period and then a recurring monthly price. Affiliates should get a commission on both a percentage of the trial period and the recurring. This is all handled through one paypal button.

Question 1:

Do I add the following inside Paypal’s “Add advanced variables area” or can I just add it to the html code generated by paypal for the button that’s already on my site? When I tried adding it to Paypal’s add advanced variables, the code would not display in the button code that paypal generates.

<input type=”hidden” name=”notify_url” value=”http://www.your-domain-name.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/ipn_handler.php”&gt;

and

<input type=”hidden” name=”custom” value=”[wp_aff_custom_args]”>

Question 2:

I’m following Option 2) here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/plain-paypal-button-and-affiliate-plugin-integration-168 Do I need to check the 3rd party cart integration on the WP Affiliate settings page if I’m doing Option 2?

Question 3:

For recurring affiliate payments, how does the plugin track when a member quits and the payments have ended? Just want to confirm that the IPN notifies the site when a recurring payment has ended so the WPAffiliate reporting reflects paypal recurring cancellations in real time.

Thank you so much!

1) You add it to the html code generated by paypal for the button that’s already on your site. Take a look at the example button code that is on the documentation page here which should give you an idea of how to do that:

2) You don’t need to check that. Basically, do only what the documentation says and you should be good

3) Yes, the plugin will listen for the IPN so when a recurring payments end it won’t give commission for that anymore.
