1. Jarryd, when using Elementor the blog post is just one large section of text, right? I don’t want to restrict the entire section. If i’m understanding you correctly, i’d have to put the viewable paragraphs in one section and create another section for the hidden content. Is that correct?

2. Again, alternatively, if i do check the required memberships in the WordPress page editor, is it possible to increase the number of words that is shown so more than 4 lines of text appear? That would work too.

Thanks, Kim. And there’s no way to center the Paypal button?

Jarryd, i’m all set here with everything.

Jarryd, I will add that when Paypal made and cancelled the test order, I didn’t receive the admin emails. NONE of the test emails came through either.

Both of the check mark options in the Email Settings are unchecked. All of the admin email templates are enabled. My SMTP setting are working, as I am receiving other emails to my WP admin email.

Any ideas what might be the problem here?

Hi Jarryd, I think i’m all set now… I just got approved for the Authorize.net gateway. Initially they disapproved me, last week, but i went through and reapplied changing some info on the application.

But also, last night the tech rep at Paypal did a test purchase through the Paypal Express gateway and the purchase went through for him. He said Paypal Express is working properly and users should be able to sign up.

Thanks again, Jarryd. Feel free to mark this as resolved.

This is likely causing a conflict – please try turn off the trial and let me know if the issue persists.

If it doesn’t, we can recommend an alternative way to implement a delay in charging the customer which acts similarly to the trial.

In lieu of having a 7-day billing delay, i created a Free subscription that expires in 7 days. I turned off the trial while awaiting your response and I got the same results.

This is one of the few gateways that support sites that provide adult content.

Our current integration makes use of the NVP/SOAP PayPal API – you wouldn’t be able to use PayPal Subscriptions however this should not cause any issues.

Can you please clarify, “you wouldn’t be able to use PayPal Subscriptions however this should not cause any issues.” Are you referring to what i’m asking here:

Is it at all possible for me to create a new subscriptions page that will link to a different payment processor such as Corepay and have it tie back into PMPro website so the new user has access to the membership and BuddyPress features in the same manner as if the subscription was bought through the native PMPro subscription page? The new subscription page would also need to be linked to the Sign-up links on the homepage (sign up button & create an account form). I’ve already duplicated the membership-levels page but before I go any further I’ll need to know if this is even possible. I will contract someone on Fiverr to do it for me if it becomes too difficult.

Jarryd, thanks for your response.

Jarryd, are you not aware that it is in fact possible to accomplish in v2.12.10? I have my subscriptions set up with a 7 day trial period and billing to start after 7 days (albeit still not sure if it’s possible with Paypal Express because I’m still waiting for you to respond to my topic.)

Additionally, you are closing topics too soon! I, and apparently other people, are not getting email notifications from WordPress that a reply was made to our topic. I have to keep refeshing the page to see if there’s any new responses to my topics.

Jarryd, my apologies for multiple responses. As i read through the other topics i am getting more ideas. Even though Paypal Express is included free in the PMPro core plugin, do i need a PMPro license to use Paypal Express as a primary gateway? I don’t have a license, i am using the free version. Could that be the issue why I cannot complete the purchase?

Of the 6 credit card processors included free in the core plugin, which can be used without having to purchase a PMPro license?

Jarryd, thanks for your response. I just had a thought, could the issue be because I have a 7 day trial set up before payment is taken? I just spoke with Capital One and she said she’s seeing $0 on her end and it’s pending. But on the Paypal side it’s showing the $14.99.

I am the buyer, located in the U.S. and I used both a Capital One Mastercard and bank debit Visa card.

CCBill has a rating of 1.4 on Pissed Consumer, a 1.8 on Trust Pilot and 2.6 on Complaints Board. Why is Paid Memberships Pro associated with CCBill and offering it to their users?

Paypal suggested that I use their Subscription service, “To accept recurring payments, I would like to recommend the integration of our latest product – the subscription service. This advanced solution will enable you to bill your customers a fixed amount at regular intervals.” Jarryd, will I be able to use their subscription service with PMPro?

Thanks again in advance,

Darlene

… side question #2 here: I contacted Paypal about the payment issues and their response is below. I’m just concerned because I didn’t see or read anything on the PMP website regarding this extra step needed for Paypal to work. ” Before I go along with what they’re requiring, (basically i’d be applying for a high-risk merchant account of sorts, as my site is a dating site) Can someone at PMP please confirm that this is in fact the reason why i’m not able to process Paypal Express payments?

Thank you for contacting PayPal Business Support. My name is Lori and I am here to assist you today. I am sorry you're having difficulties.?Paid Membership Pro requires Reference Transactions. You will need to apply for Reference Transactions.

Reference Transactions are one of our riskiest products as it allows you to change the amount and frequency of the payments being taken. As this carries such a high risk it is not something that we offer all merchants.

In line with this, please reply to this email with the following information so that we can submit an application for Reference Transactions on your behalf.

Business information:

1.Business name
2.Business URL
3.Current/anticipated monthly sales via PayPal only
4.Number of repeat customers

2.Do?you?your?buyers?need?to?initiate?each?subsequent?payment?themselves?or?are?they?processed?automatically?without?any?customer?involvement?
3.Will this service be enabled within your website, mobile app integration or both?
4.Are you integrating through another payment service provider, such as Worldpay or Ingenico?

Once we confirm receipt of the above questions, your application may take 7 to 10 days to be assessed. Please be aware that we may require more information once your application is being processed.

PayPal MTS has limited access to check only Website Technical & API Integration queries. This issue is related to reference transactions. This issue is not handled by MTS.

I hope this helps. Thank you for being a valued PayPal customer. This department cannot take further action, since this is not a Website Technical or API Integration issue, this ticket will be closed. Please do not open a new MTS ticket for this issue.

… side question here; Stripe does not allow dating sites and upon reading the Paypal community questions on their site, I’m not sure i even want to deal with Paypal! Are these the only payment gateways that can be used with PMP Pro (https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-on-category/payment/)? Authorize.net turned me down due to my site being a dating site, and it appears that Woocommerce is not highly favored by you. What’s a girl to do when there aren’t any stable choices to choose from?

Ok, that’s fine. Just that it would be ideal if the spam was caught at step one and not allow them spammer to proceed to the sign-up page. All-in-all though, i like this plugin and will be upgrading. Thanks Serge.

Serge, as stated earlier, I am referring to the Create an Account form not the sign-up button on the top of the page. You tested the sign-up button on the top of the page.

Serge, I already have “Check email before POST request” to “On”. I have the Anti-Flood checked, but the Anti-Crawler is not checked because of requests from other users regarding the “browser spam bot is enabled” message that pops up. That page is annoying to me, and i agree it could scare off potential sign-ups.

Katereji, thanks for your response. Oh, i didn’t think to try and complete the registering process. You are correct, it does work once I tried to complete the sign-up process. But I was hoping there was a way to stop it at the “create an account’ level, not allowing them to proceed to the register page. If not, I can work with this as it is now. Thanks again.
