Attempted to change that boring “Thank you! (you MUST check your email before proceeding).”… page that is the default success page when returning from a subscription paid by PayPal (and probably others).
I created a new page in WordPress, and added success=“that page” to one of the buttons on my test page.
After successful payment, I got redirected to that page, but I did not get any signup confirmation email with the account creation link. This works when the success parameter is removed.
So, what am I doing wrong ? How do I correct it so I get returns to my own success page (as I do when I have the success parameter there), and receive the signup confirmation email (as I do when I remove the success parameter) ?
In case I want to create a dynamic success page, telling the new subscriber which subscription was selected and maybe more (which I now will do by using three separate pages), how do I pass and use the variables in the success page ?
The description under “PayPal Pro Forms” -> “Custom Return URLs Upon Success” gives only one example on how to send one variable to the success page, but does not tell how to use it.
