WP eStore and WishList Integration Scenerio

When you integrate Wishlist with eStore it does everything through the PayPal IPN (Instant Payment Notification) feature. This also allows the integration with the affiliate software for commission awarding purpose. When you use the IPN feature everything starts to happen in the background as soon as the customer hits the "Pay Now" button on paypal.

So after a visitor pays for a membership they will receive two emails from eStore.

1) one for the standard purchase email.
2) and a 2nd one which will contain a unique link to complete the member registration.

once the visitor clicks on this unique link they will be brought to the page where Wishlist plugin will let them complete the membership (the customer will get a chance to choose a username and password at this stage).

Due to the limitation of the integration process you can not choose the option whereby the customer is sent back to the site to complete the registration after the payment (the customers will have to do this part by following the unique link that is sent to their email after payment).

You can customize the "Return URL" in eStore's settings page so it redirects the customer to a "Thank You" page after payment where you can put general instructions for the member explaining what to expect/the next step (eg. you will receive an email shortly ...)

Are you saying that we won't know what membership they bought when they come back from paypal?

We know the membership level.

Amin,

So does the WishList Integration only work when someone pays via PayPal? My client is using the Authorize.net plugin to allow members to purchase access via Authorize.net. The payments are going through just fine, but the followup email isn't coming through. Do I need to just share the registration link in the product information? That's what I'm doing now, but would love to hear of a better way!

Update: I noticed that when someone purchases through authorize.net, it creates the temporary registration for them, but doesn't send out the email with the link to complete. So the integration is partially working.... ~R

Please run a test transaction with debug option enabled and then share the content of the "eStore_post_payment_debug.log" file:

Amin,

Sorry for the delay... we went another route for the launch, and I'm only now able to test. I created a test product for $0.01, integrated it with WishList and did the transaction with debug enabled. Here's what the log said:

[08/09/2011 10:46 PM] - SUCCESS :End of post payment processing tasks.
[08/09/2011 10:46 PM] - SUCCESS :gateway=authorize, (removed)

I then opened the "subscription_handle_debug.log" file:

[08/09/2011 10:46 PM] - SUCCESS :Member signup URL :http://signaturespeechsite.com/index.php?/register/continue&(removed)
[08/09/2011 10:46 PM] - FAILURE :Member signup email sending failed

That's the issue, somehow the email isn't getting sent. I'm getting the product email as stated above, although it's blank instead of sharing the product specific details I have in the product.

Using version 5.6.4

Thanks!

UPDATE: I just tried this with using PayPal as the payment processor. The "ipn_handle_debug.log" processed everything fine (the payment went through, I received the product email, etc.). When it kicked over to the "subscription_handle_debug.log", the same error was posted:

FAILURE :Member signup email sending failed

Is there something I'm missing? The integration with WishList is fine, since the temp registrations are being created correctly. But I'm wondering if I have a piece somewhere that's not quite right. It's not the WordPress email system, since the product emails are being sent without a hitch. And it's not a bug in eStore itself since I just used this same build for a different client (I've been recommending the software to everyone I can!) and her's is working just fine. Puzzling!

Thank you!

The script is failing to send email via the normal mail script on your server. Please check the "Use WordPress Mailing System" field from the eStore settings menu and try the transaction again.

Hurrah! That was it. Thank you! I always check that box when I setup a cart, and so naturally assumed the other person did also. Apparently not. Thank you!
