Yes, using a manual form to collect the product details from a user would be the way to go. This way once you receive the product details you can create a product with that details and put it up on the site.
You can make it so a user with (author or editor role) can interact with the eStore menu allowing them to add and modify product details but it may not be secure to open it up to strangers as they can modify the eStore settings. This post has more info on this:
This will need to be handled via custom coding so please contact us using the contact form if you want to discuss a custom solution.
Customers can pay via Credit card to signup for subscription too (Just like the normal PayPal purchase). PayPal added this option recently. So you won’t have any issue there.
If you just make a one time purchase membership level with a expiry of 14 days then yes the expiry email will get triggered. If its not happening then we can look into your site and see what is going on. In general when offering trial + recurring charge for membership people always use a subscription button as it is more automated (you don’t have to worry about contacting the customer after the trial).
Make sure you have the “Enable Auto Expiry Email Notification” checkbox checked in the eMember settings.
I have checked 3 of your product pages and I can see the products fine so can you please give me a link to the exact page where this shortcode is not working and exactly what shortcode you placed on that page.
If you need to customize the ordering and the style you need to use the following shortcode:
[wp_eStore_category_products_fancy id=X style=X order=X]It doesn’t matter if the eStore product is there or not. You are going to replace the “Buy Button” on the front side of your website with the Clickbank “Buy” button. So that eStore product will just be another product in your database waiting to be used. You can create as many eStore product as you want but unless you are placing a button for the product on your web page those products can’t be used or purchased.
This checklist is a good starting point:
eStore wasn’t designed to create a marketplace type site so it does not have a feature to allow other user to upload products.
The clickbank payment has a different integration method where it directly integrates with eMember. You can’t use eStore with clickbank.
When you use clickbank it does the following:
1) A visitor clicks on a payment button that takes them to clickbank’s payment page
2) The visitor makes a payment.
3) He becomes a paid members.
You didn’t mention what you were using for the payment so I assumed you are using eStore. Even though your are using PayPal the same concept applies… when you create a subscription payment simply specify the recurring charge to start at the end of the 14 day. This means the user will automatically roll into a paid member at the end of the 14 days trial if he does not cancel. So you don’t even need to have two membership levels. Just hook up the subscription button with the trial amount to this one membership. You can create one subscription button that has a 14 day trial and then it starts to charge the month to month fee right after the trial (no need for the customer to do anything unless they want to cancel).
So to summarize it, you only need one membership level and one subscription button. You can create a subscription button that will charge something like the following:
14 day trial then charge $29.95 every monthYou hook that subscription to that one membership level. Now, whenever a user is signing up they won’t get charged anything for the first 14 days and if they don’t cancel at the end of the 14 day period they will automatically start to get charged $29.95 per month (the month to month charge). If they cancel then their account will be inactive. See why there is no need to do it the hard way when you use a subscription button?
For the sake of keeping this very simple, I am going to suggest a slightly alternate method that will be easy for you to understand and will achieve the same result. Please do the following:
1. Create a membership level called “Trial Membership” (you already have this done)
2. Edit the “Trial Membership” level and set the “Subscription Valid for” field to 14 days.
3. Go to the eMember settings and check the “Allow Free Membership” field.
4. Specify the membership level ID of the “Trial Membership” in the “Free Membership Level ID” field of this settings menu.
5. Edit your “Join Us” page and remove the current trial button you have and just place a link to the “registration” page for people who want to take the 14 day free trial.
This way when someone goes to your “Join Us” page he can sign up for the “Trial Membership” for free which gives him 14 days access. 5 days before the expiry he will get the email and he can purchase the month to month membership and get upgraded to the full membership.
I think the following shortcode will do the job. It can allow your members to download stamped copy of the PDF file:
