Custom registration with link to paypal?

  • Hi all,

    I’ve been spinning my wheels on this for days. I don’t think I’m going to find it myself.

    I’m converting a nonprofit site from html/php/javascript to wordpress. I have one huge glitch, with the enrollment page.

    What should happen is that the prospective member is asked for a bunch of information — some standard wordpress, some extra. The person fills in the form and clicks register. What I want to have happen next is to pass control to a page within the site where the user can access paypal to pay the annual dues. The user would then receive a page saying they’re awaiting approval.

    I’m using cimy user extra fields to add the new fields. That’s working fine. I’m using register-plus to handle allowing the user to pick his/her own password, captcha, and enforcing the organization’s rule that a new user has to be verified by an administrator. I had to make a small change to register-plus to grab the username, but all of that works. The email message to the user works fine, and an email goes out to the admin as well.

    The one thing I cannot make happen, no matter what I do, is go from the initial registration page to the paypal page. I’ve changed everything I could find, but clearly I’m missing something.

    If seeing this would help, it’s at https://awcaonline.org/wordpress/ . Go ahead and sign up if you want. This is a test site and I’ll have to clear the database before going live — if I can ever get thus paypal thing fixed! — anyway.

    Any and all help appreciated!

  • There are a few membrship plugins out there, e.g. WP-Member (this is not “free” as in “free beer” – you have to pay to use it) but the problem presently existing with that plugin (release v2.3.1) is precisely the custom registration fields and registration forms; there are some very limited custom fields options, and integration with other registration customization plugins (e.g. Register Plus) is very difficult, not to say impossible out of the box.

    On the upside of such a solution, the integration with PayPal (bonus: automated recurring membership renewal payment handling!) is very smooth.

    Hello, we have been developing new functions and features. The first of these includes drop down and tickbox options as well as the standard text box and text field. Much more to be released every month or so.
    Thank you nv1962 for mentioning us.

    All the best
