There is also the following option if you are using eStore and eMember together.
Use the following shortcode to place your fancy displays and it will make sure that only members can use the button:
[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=1 type=1 style=1 restriction=1]The
restriction=1parameter will tell it to restrict the button for members only. Check the extra eStore shortcode plugin for full details of this shortcode:http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-shortcodes-and-functions-reference-460
In addition to Peter’s suggestion… If you are using eStore and eMember together then simply check the “Only Logged In Members Can Checkout” field from the following section:
WP eStore Settings -> AddOn Settings -> WP eMember plugin specific settingsThis will make it to where a user can browse around your product pages and add items to the cart but before they can checkout they will have to log in as a member or register a free account.
Please use the correct shortcode for the “Buy Now” type button. I can see two mistakes:
1. The shortcode you used is not for “Buy Now” type buttons. Please follow the appropriate documentation:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/?p=15
2. The other shortcode
[eshop_show_checkout]is not our shortcode. You most likely got it from a different plugin which you are no longer using (please remove it).If you are not a PHP developer then take advantage of the shortcodes that lets you display any details of the logged in user. For example, the following shortcode will display the email address of the logged in member:
[wp_eMember_user_details user_info="email"]You can use the above shortcode to display the custom fields too.
Check the shortcodes page for more details:
Different affiliates can have different commission (simply edit an affiliate and change his commission level to what you want).
Please see this post regarding different commission for different product:

Yes, the links are encrypted. All the encrypted links in eStore are time limited limited as long as you have it set in the settings.
I see the issue with your second test (the one with the subscription payment). You made your trial amount to be 0.99 which is lower than the value you have in the “Price” field of that product so the plugin’s security check failed and stopped processing that payment. I got the following form the debug:
[01/16/2012 8:58 AM] – FAILURE :Wrong Product Price Detected! Actual Product Price : 19.97 Amount Paid: 0.99
[01/16/2012 8:58 AM] – FAILURE :IPN product validation failed.
Please correct the mistake and it will work fine.
Try the tweaks in the following two posts and let me know how you go:

The cookie in you browser may have also gotten stuck since you are the admin and you were probably playing around with the other payment gateway options before. Simply clear the cookie in your browser and try again. Your customers won’t see the issue that you are seeing.
If you have done everything suggested by Peter then the issue might be somewhere else (the plugin is not receiving notification from PayPal). Run a test with debug and it will reveal the issue. This post will guide you (read it carefully):

I looked at your products which are subscription products and they have a 14 day free trial. The commission will be awarded when the actual subscription amount is charged after the 14 days. Are you expecting a commission to be awarded on a free trial ($0.00 amount)? Please note that free trials won’t generate any commission.
WP eStore’s changelog will be updated. Since this is a feature that I am going to add within the next 5 to 6 weeks, you should be able to contact us in 6 weeks time and get an update.
Update: The serial key feature has been added to the plugin. Details of this feature here:

These plugins weren’t created to work with a linkbuilding service, so there may be shortcomings that I am not aware of. With that said, here is my answer:
1. It should be easy to collect the website URL and the anchor texts (Use a custom text field for each item you need to collect). You can also get away with creating two custom fields (one for the URL and one for the anchor texts). You can instruct your members to put the anchor texts all in the 2nd field (comma separated).
2. Your members will be able to change the URL and the anchor texts just by going to the edit profile page and modifying these values. They are allowed to change there details from the edit profile page as many times as they want though. I am not sure if you only want them to be able to change details once a month. If you do then that would be a different challenge which needs to be addressed.
3. All these custom field values are available to the admin. Simply edit a member’s details from the manage members menu and you will see the all values this member entered.
