I'm integrating with UltraCart and need to know as soon as possible the answers to the following questions: 1. I understand that when using UC that I'm to direct my buy link to the UC product, then it's to put the customer info into aMember for me. Is this how it is supposed to work? 2. I set up my products in aMember and UC and linked them in inside UC. So when the order comes through UC, it logs it in my aMember database just fine. I set up UC to take the initial $147 and I have a $37 a month subscription after that. I need to know if I should set up UC to take the monthly subscription that I set up in aMember or will aMember take over after the order process and start billing the $37 monthly? How is it supposed to work? 3. I set up aMember with all my merchant account info/gateway info. Does UC or aMember do all the billing or is it split as described above? What's the best way? If there is any more information that anyone can offer that I need to know please provide it. Thanks, PowerLife
good questions here. I too am interested to hear from anybody who has an Ultracart / Amember integration running successfully. I've found a lack of info on this as of yet. I've been able to set up an Ultracart checkout that establishes an Amember account for the customer. Where I'm lost is how to handle the rebills, following the initial signup. Can Ultracart handle the monthly payments on the subscription? Michael J Salo Mehow.tv
Yes, it adds a payment in amember to the user account since the member name (email) still matches. David
From what I've seen so far Ultracart handles pretty much everything in terms of rebillling (one time or recurring) and then just updates aMember records by adding payment records to the given users, etc. Pretty slick cart, given all the other options, I might have to add...
thanks for the replies. It's good to know that Ultracart and Amember are supposed to work together fully. Now we just have to make it work. We have Ultracart establishing the subscription but the rebills are failing to register as a payment in Amember. It may be one wrong setting somewhere. It's not easy to fix because there's no quick way to test the rebills, it's a lot of waiting around for 1-day trials to complete Michael J Salo Mehow.tv
Do you have the payment type in ultracart set to "manual"? I think thats what you have to do to get it registered each time for amember payments so it registers as a payment in amember.
Ultracart and Amember Membership Page Hi, I am setting up amember to work with ultracart. My question is that I don't want to set up a payment system in amember, only in ultracart. When a user goes to their member pages: all the products show as "totally free" since I don't have a payment system set up in amember. Is there anyway to put links on this page to send user to ultracart to make the payment. If not, how do I get rid of the "totally free" signup?? Thanks!!!!!!!!!
You could edit the renewal page to redirect them to ultracart. To start with- give your products prices in amember. member_add_renew.html You'd change this to the ultracart order URL <form id="payment" name="payment" method="post" action="member.php?tab=add_renew"> But last time i tried it- i couldnt get ultracart to work with backend orders- it kept creating new member accounts...
