Sorry, still playing with the new add on, it would also be useful to show a message if there’s no VAT applicable, for example if I choose USA and click apply, it just refreshes the page without displaying anything (which could be mistaken for a bug on the page)
I agree with prezzz actually, that distinguishment would be good, and if they’re a business registered for VAT they should provide their VAT number, if they’re below the threshold they’ll need to provide more information.
Silly rule from the HMRC in my view
Hi, are there plans to allow for the following
Businesses using payment service providers
A business which makes cross-border digital service supplies must obtain and keep 2 pieces of information to evidence where a consumer normally lives. This demonstrates that the correct rate of VAT has been charged and will be accounted for to the correct member state tax jurisdiction. For many micro and small businesses this requirement may be challenging. So, for micro and small businesses that use payment service providers, we suggest the following approach:
At the point of sale, ask the consumer to provide details of either their:
billing address, including the member state
telephone number, including the member state dialling code
When the consumer pays for the digital service, obtain from the payment service provider a notification advice containing the 2 digit country code of the consumer’s member state of residence as listed in their records.
If the 2 pieces of information tally, that will be sufficient to define the consumer’s location and you can record the details in your accounting records. However, if the information doesn’t tally, you must contact the consumer and ask them to reconcile the discrepancy between the 2 pieces of information.
Support for MOSS registered micro-businesses until 30 June 2015
UK micro-businesses that are below the current UK VAT registration threshold, and who register for the VAT Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) may, until 30 June 2015, base their ‘customer location’ VAT taxation and accounting decisions on information provided to them by their payment service provider. This means the business need not require further information to be supplied by the customer. As payment service providers already collect and hold a minimum of 2 pieces of information about the member state where the customer usually resides, the transitional period, until 30 June 2015, will give micro-businesses additional time to adapt their websites to meet the new data collection requirements.
I think there’s a way we can improve this – can you drop me an email to discuss potential add on building by myself

I got this sorted in the end, however I’m finding there’s a problem which would be great if you could fix, the issue being that it’s not tracking all my purchases through to analytics, presumably from when people do not return to the site after purchase.
Do you have any plans to correct this?
Admin – this had gotten me too, since your instructions only mention to be tracking analytics. i.e. IF YOU DON’T ALREADY DO THIS…. then get the Google Analytics for WordPress Plugin.
I had been tracking GA already through pasting into the theme header my tracking code – and skipped step one… my sales haven’t been showing up – so I’m hoping the reason is the GA analytics plugin is definitely needed. If so – I suggest you amend the link below to make it very clear that you need the plugin.

We always work with “Roles”. So yes, it will update the role of the user to whatever you have specified in the membership level in question. What capabilities you specify for a particular role is upto you. Lets say, your free membership has a role of “Role 1” and premium membership has a role of “Role 2”. When you change a user’s level from “Free” to “premium”, the WP user’s role will change to “Role 2”
When I did this via the admin panel, the WP user role stayed at Role 1
apart from that (I need to find a willing test subject for upgrading using PayPal) and the bbPress I’m almost there.. 
I’ll report back with anything further
Does changing a user level via admin also update the user capabilities? I’m trying to test out the final bit (free = subscriber, premium = contributer)
contributer can do forum stuff
subscribers can only read forum stuff
I’ve upgraded a test user via admin panel, but the WP user role doesn’t get updated to contribuer.
Looks to be working well
guests – cannot view at all
free – can view but not reply and cannot create topics
epic – can view and reply and create topics
Love the plugin
it’s wicked! Re the bbpress message, hopefully they have a filter I can whip it through as ideally I’d like to replace the full message (perhaps with videos of why to upgrade and extra cool stuff)
It should be possible, for example I can set new users to be a free member, these free members get a “spectator” bbpress role and a “subscriber” wordpress userrole.
Then when they update to epic membership, it will update their forum role to “participant”
I think I’ve “cracked it”
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
Lets you edit a WP user permissions, then use eMember to handle the upgrade (moving the role from “subscriber” to a “contributor” with different permissions.
Hopefully it will work
Thanks Admin
Sorry but I have another question, it’s partly routed in SEO and partly as a “hook” for new premium members.
I want to have my bbPress forum “read only” for free members and allow premium memebrs to make new topics / reply to topics etc.
That way Google can index the forum, people can read but if they need to ask something they can upgrade.
Hi sorry a bit more detail
1.) Enable Specific Page Lockdown with URL [http://epicplugins.com/support-forums/] doesn’t work because you can’t say on that page, who to lock it down too (ie. both free and epic members can see) I also want certain forums (i.e. welcome, feature requests, plugin requests) to be available to anyone.
2.) It works for me in that free get the message “Private: You do not have permission to view this forum” and epic members can see the forum.
The issue I’m having is… I was expecting it to show…
“You do not have permission to view this forum: Upgrade Your Membership(link).”
I’ve worked around it by putting a widget in the sidebar, but would be nice if the Permission denied message was customisable to take them to the “Epic Member sign up page”.
Also, since I have WordPress members, if a user logs in using /wp-login.php it doesn’t log them into ememebr? am I right with that? they have to log in using the form? for members who are logged in as WP members (default “free” e-memebrs) I’m assuming they need to login again?
