I'm moving my subscribers (who already have PayPal subscriptions to my product) to a website with aMember. Is there anything I need to do special to handle existing PayPal subscriptions in aMember? Thanks!
To get these recurring subscriptions handled by aMember, you have to: - import members to aMember with corresponding "payment records" for every subscription; - payment record must be set as: - expiration date is 2012-Jan-31 (will be changed automatically when subscription expired); - set as "Paid" - payment system must be set as "PayPal" - Paypal plugin has to be configured at aMember Cp -> Setup -> PayPal
Importing current PayPal subscriptions Perfect! So is there a way to "import" many current PayPal subscribers in bulk, or must they be entered one at a time manually in aMember?
Okay, all imported! Hi Alex, (I am keeping this subject here because I think it could help others!) PayPal is the only payment processing service I use. Now each of my customers has an aMember account, imported from a listing with their First Name, Last Name, email, aMember User Name, aMember Password, PayPal subscription number, last payment amount, date of payment entered, and a cancellation date of 1/31/2012. I also configured the ipn.php path in my PayPal Selling Prefs. (1) If a customer (or PayPal) cancels their PayPal subscription in PayPal, will aMember get a notice and automatically change the cancellation date in aMember? (2) If a customer's subscription rebills successfully on PayPal, will aMember get a notice and automatically extend their subscription? (3) If a new customer subscribes to my product using ../amember/signup.php, is the payment processed by PayPal as a subscription, or simply a one-time charge (with aMember doing the recurring charges)? I prefer to continue to use the PayPal Subscription feature; how do I configure the product/signup process in aMember to do this? Thanks very much! Doug
Oops, missed one question... (3) If a new customer subscribes to my product using ../amember/signup.php, is the payment: (a) processed by PayPal as a PalPal Subscription, or (b) simply a one-time PayPal charge (with aMember doing the recurring charges)? Thanks!
