Is there a way to require manual approval of new members before they pay their fee? We accept payment via Paypal only. I see that Setup/Config > Advanced Options > Manually Approve New Members lets you approve members manually, but it looks like payment is required first. Thanks for any ideas.
Having trouble understanding how this would work. They order but before completing payment they are approved? Why would you do this? David
Well, it's for a membership site and they are purchasing subscriptions and the right to be displayed in the member directory. It's a women only organization and they want to be sure only women are signing up. I see your point, though. Maybe I should just tell my client that they will just have to refund payments if someone signs up that should not. Or do you have any other suggestions?
Refund seems simplest. But you could turn on manually approve new members, and then allow them access- i think some members would be ticked that they cant access immediately though. David
Problem with this is people will register, you block the flow and the majority will think twice about returning to pay. Refunds with PayPal are simple enough.
