Hi,
On my webpage I am trying to get a affiliate form that is at the same time a registration form: [affiliates_registration_extra_fields extra_fields_text=”organisation|Organisation,job|Job title,telephone|Telephone number,country|Country,city|City” terms_post_id=”1231″ redirect=”true” redirect_to:”URL”].
At the moment a user clicks submit, I need to redirect that user to a webpage were my Paypal button is located (placing the URL in above shortcode did not work). After payment the user should enter a page with details to share the personal affiliate ID via social networks or email, as well as receive an email with information.
I have read through the documentation but I am not able to find the answer how to do the above. When I use the above shortcode, the redirect is to WordPress Login page, which is not what I want.
I hope you can help.
Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but that’s not what I am looking for. How does a user receive his or her personal URL after the payment is made via Paypal? Can this be send automatically?
Hi,
I think Groups Paypal can help you, hiding the user information page until you have paid.
Other options is using Affiliates API and send the user’s information through a shortcode or a hook when the user has paid.
cheers
Hi, the Affiliates API does indeed seems to be a good solution. However, I have no clue how to do that. Perhaps we can have contact via mail for a quote?
I think you can indeed apply Groups PayPal as a close solution for what you require. It can be set up so that only those affiliates who have made the payment get access to their affiliate data:
– using [groups_paypal_subscription id=”123″] to allow affiliates to make a single payment
– using the [groups_member group="Affiliates"] shortcode to protect the affiliate link etc.
You will need to create a new group that identifies paying affiliates, let’s call it Affiliates.
The subscription (here with example id 123) would just need the Setup Price indicated, so that it is activated with a one-time payment. In the Groups section of the subscription, the Affiliates group needs to be selected under the Add column.
Then you can set up an affiliate area where affiliates who have signed up but have not paid yet, are invited to make the payment to access their affiliate details.
An example affiliate area using this: http://pastebin.com/gZLcPcak
The process would be:
1. Affiliate registers and receives login details by email.
2. Affiliate enters affiliate area and sees button to make payment. No affiliate details shown at this point yet.
3. Affiliate makes payment and returns to affiliate area where details are now shown.
It might be necessary to offer the payment on another page, but the process is essentially the same.
Hi Antonio,
Ok, great. that worked. Thanks for that.
Can you also help me with my other questions perhaps?
Thanks
Mark
Hi,
maybe Groups Paypal can help you selling a “private page” with affiliate info.
If your affiliates need share social links, take a look to Affiliates Share.
cheers
Hi,
I have tried your code, using http://www.google.com as URL, and changing “:” to “=” after redirect_to, and works fine. My shortcode:
[affiliates_registration_extra_fields extra_fields_text="organisation|Organisation,job|Job title,telephone|Telephone number,country|Country,city|City" terms_post_id="1231" redirect="true" redirect_to="www.google.es"]
cheers
