Only showing Stripe update form to Stripe customers

#1

Hi guys,

I’m moving my site from PayPal buttons to Stripe.

It will mean I’ll have a few hundred users who are on legacy plans, paid via PayPal.

All new customers will use Stripe - and thus I want to have a Stripe billing update form, linked from my Members’ Area.

If a PayPal subscriber went to that page, I’d want to hide the form, and tell them that all their updates are done via PayPal - or offer a cancelation PP button.

I can show or hide via simple conditionals on membership level - but is there any way of hiding stuff dependent on which gateway they used to sign up?

Thanks in advance.

Any idea if we can hide content based on S2 payment gateway folks?

Probably, but you’d need custom code. What I’d do is give the new Stripe customers a different level; then you can use the conditionals as usual.

I could definitely do that @KTS915 - but I have quite a few custom templates with hard-coded sections for =level1 calls.

I could change those, but it would be cool if we could tap into the gateway from the user dashboard, as a simple conditional.

@jaswsinc - would you ever consider that Jason?

It would mean we could show the correct cancel form, depending on gateway?

Here is one way to do this, following the information in this article.

<?php
$gateway = get_user_option('s2member_subscr_gateway');
?>

<?php if ($gateway === 'paypal') : ?>
    Insert PayPal Pro-Form shortcode for cancellation here.
<?php elseif ($gateway === 'stripe') : ?>
    Insert Stripe Pro-Form shortcode for cancellation here.
<?php endif; ?>

Possible values for s2member_subscr_gateway are as follows:

  • paypal
  • stripe
  • authnet
  • clickbank

and some of the older codes can be found here in the dashboard.

@jaswsinc - you’re a legend mate - thanks so much for this.

For those wanting to do something similar, here’s the code I used, in conjunction with the ‘Insert php’ plugin - it has 100k+ downloads, and let’s you insert php into posts and pages, via a shortcode.

Here is the code I used, after activating that plugin.

I may get this coded into a template though, if allowing php execution on posts and pages causes a security issue.

If you are logged into a paid PREMIUM account - you will see your cancellation options below.

[insert_php] 
$gateway = get_user_option('s2member_subscr_gateway');
if ($gateway === 'paypal') : ?>
<strong>It looks like you paid for your PREMIUM subscription via PayPal.</strong>

Hit the 'Unsubscribe' button below and log in to your PayPal account to cancel your recurring subscription.

Your PREMIUM membership will be downgraded to a FREE account at the end of your current subscription term.
[s2Member-PayPal-Button cancel="1" image="default" output="anchor" /]

<?php elseif ($gateway === 'stripe') : ?>
<strong>It looks like you paid for your PREMIUM subscription via credit/debit card.</strong>

Complete the security validation below, then hit 'Submit Form' to cancel your payments now.

Your PREMIUM membership will be downgraded to a FREE account at the end of your current subscription term.
[s2Member-Pro-Stripe-Form cancel="1" desc="This will cancel your account. Are you sure?" unsub="0" captcha="light" /]
<?php endif; [/insert_php]

It seems to work very well.

@rossagrant:

@jaswsinc was too modest to tell you that he has written a plugin with similar functionality. So I’ll do that for him:

@KTS915 - ahh, nice one - I didn’t know Jason had coded a similar plugin.

Great stuff! :slight_smile:
