Hi
I am a complete newbie and I have having some trouble working out how to do something quite simple. I have membership at my website www.scratchbuildwithjohn.com, and I want to do a promotion to increase my mailing list. I want to email my list and if they can get 5 new sign ups, to provide them with a free month’s membership. My rebill is monthly.
I have s2member pro
So after someone has achieved the goal of getting new sign ups i would imagine them going to a page in which they would click a coupon number so that they would then go to a payment page with the coupon number identified and then purchasing the months membership with a refund of the same amount. Can someone give me a simple bread crumb description of the process to do this? If so I will be on my way I for a number of other ideas…

Help in using coupons
Unfortunately that is not “something quite simple” for a plugin that is not “affiliate”, just “membership”… To do that you will need to integrate (bi-directionally) s2M with an affiliate plugin, or to create custom code to achieve what you need.

Thanks for that. I thought the process might be to have a private page on
the website with a coupon system so that people who successfully add the
required additions to the mailing list (system for this not worked out yet)
would be able to join but have a rebate for the first month. I guess you
are thinking of the whole model which is actually a good idea in itself and
I should start to be thinking about affiliates. i do have one guy who has
approached me already. Is there a system which works well with S2member
stripe?

Hi John,
As for now I don’t know any affiliate package that can be connected this way (the way you need it) with s2M, you will need a custom code to “glue” the two systems (s2M and the affiliate package), not an easy task. I do lot of s2M synchronizations, maybe I can help you with this.

A few years ago I bought idev affiliate. I have re-downloaded it and will
re install it onto my system. I have a guy who is keen be an affiliate so
maybe I should just try to get that going first. From what I can see idev
is fine but I am not sure how it will work with stripe. There are alway
issues it seems.

Hi John,
If I remember right, there is no way “Idev affiliate” to send commands to s2M, so you can set “the free month” present, but I can be wrong, maybe they talk by API…
It is important affiliate to work right with s2M itself, the payment gateway in s2M can be any allowed.
