JVZoo Integration with WP eMember

WP eMember plugin can be integrated with JVZoo to process the membership payment. When customers purchase your JVZoo product, membership accounts will be created for them.

What You Can Expect from the JVZoo Integration

The customers go to your landing page where you have the JVZoo payment button.
Customers click on the JVZoo buy button and complete the payment.
Payment is completed and they get sent to your thank you page.
JVZoo sends a payment notification (JVZIPN) to WP eMember plugin after the transaction.
WP eMember creates a member account by processing the notification and emails the special link to complete the registration.
Users complete the registration form. Now, they can view everything that the membership level offers.

JVZoo Integration Instructions

Step 1) Set Your JVZoo Secret Key

First, you need to set a secret key for the JVZoo IPN feature in your JVZoo account.

Login to your JVZoo account and visit the MyAccount page.
Search for Click here to edit JVZIPN Secret Key link as shown on the image below.
Click on that link, Enter your Secret Key and click Save.

Step 2) Enter the Secret Key in WP eMember Settings

Copy the secrete key from step 1 and enter it in the following interface of WP eMember

WP eMember Settings -> Gateway Settings -> JVZoo Integration Settings -> JVZoo Secret Key

Save the settings.

Take note of the JVZoo Instant Notification URL Value as we will need it in the next step.

Step 3) Enter the IPN URL in Your JVZoo Product

Click the Sellers tab in your JVZoo account. Click your product in the sub nav.

Enter an Instant Notification URL in the JVZIPN URL field.

The URL should look something like the following

https://www.yoursite.com/?emember_jvzoo_ipn=1&membership_level_id=XX

Replace “XX” with the membership level that corresponds to this product. A member account with this membership level will be created when a customer purchases this product.

Click ‘Save Changes’.

Now you should be all set and JVZoo transactions for the product in question will be processed and sent to your Instant Notification URL and WP eMember will create the membership account for them.

WooCommerce and WP eMember Integration

You can integration WP eMember with WooCommerce so you can accept membership payment via WooCommerce.

Accept Membership Payment Via WooCommerce

Step 1) Download the integration addon plugin from here.

Step 2) Install the addon just like any other WordPress plugin.

Step 3) When creating a new WooCommerce product (or editing one), you can specify a membership level for that product.

woocommerce-and-membership-payment

Now, when a customer purchase this product, a membership account (for the specified access level) will be created for the user.

Note: Your WooCommerce checkout for all products in the shop stay as is. The eMember plugin will ONLY monitor the product checkout for products where you have specified a membership level ID. When you specify a membership level ID value in a WooCommerce product, you are telling our plugin that this product is for a membership payment.

Membership Registration Setup with WooCommerce

There are a couple of different ways you can setup the membership registration scenario.

1) WooCommerce and eMember Registration Scenario 1

In this setup, you just use WooCommerce to do the checkout. The user/member account creation process is completely handled by eMember.

You will turn off all the WooCommerce account creation options from the “Accounts” settings of WooCommerce.

woocommerce-account-settings-interface-for-scenario-1

Here is a typical flow of how this process works:

A visitor buys a membership product from your WooCommerce store.
Once the payment is confirmed, WooCommerce will notify the eMember plugin.
At this point the plugin knows what membership level this user paid for, the plugin will create the appropriate membership account for this visitor.
The member will receive an email that contains a “unique” link to complete the registration.
When the member clicks on that link in the email it will let him choose a “username” and “password” and complete the registration.
At this point the member can log into the site via eMember and enjoy the premium members only content.

Your membership products are virtual products. So make sure the “Virtual” and “Download” options are enabled in your WooCommerce product in question. This way the order will immediately go to “complete” status after successful payment.

2) WooCommerce and eMember Registration Scenario 2

This setup is good for users who want to use the account creation option of WooCommerce.

Go to the Admin Functions menu of eMember and enable the auto create eMember account feature. Create a free membership level (just so you can use it as a default level).

Also, you can optionally enable this feature to keep the user records in sync.

Here is a typical flow of how this process works

A visitor buys a membership product from your WooCommerce store.
Once the payment is confirmed, WooCommerce will create a WP User account for this user (just like it does for any product checkout).
Then WooCommerce will notify the eMember plugin.
eMember will create a corresponding eMember user record then upgrade that account to the appropriate membership level (the one this user paid for).
At this point the member can log into the site via eMember and enjoy the members only content.

WooCommerce Payment/Order Status

Our plugin will only process orders/payments that are set to “processing” or “completed” status in WooCommerce. This is to make sure the money has been received before the member account gets created (or updated).

If your WooCommerce setup is correct, then the order status will be set correctly after an online payment is received. So it should work in an automated fashion.

However, if you are accepting manual payment then you need to review your order and set the order status correctly after you receive money from the customer. You can also use an WooCommerce extension to set the order status to complete automatically (after you receive an order).

Keeping the WooCommerce and eMember Logins in Sync

This is optional but you should enable this setting so when members log into the site via eMember’s login, they automatically get logged into their WooCommerce account (and vice versa).

API – Updating A Member Account Using HTTP GET or POST

This documentation is only for developers. If you are not a developer with good PHP coding skills then you have no need to read this.

You need a minimum of 2 pieces of information to send an update request. These are:

How to Integrate WP eMember with AWeber

The WP eMember membership plugin can be easily integrated with AWeber (Email marketing and Autoresponder service) so that your members get signed up to your AWeber list when they register for an account.

AWeber recently added the capability to add subscribers to a list via their API. We have updated the eMember plugin to use this new API for AWeber integration.

AWeber Integration Steps

Step 1) Make a Connection to the AWeber API

First, you need to connect with the AWeber API. In order to connect eMember with the AWeber API, go to the eMember Settings -> Autoresponder Settings menu and authorize the “Tips and Tricks HQ” app.

Click on the “Make Connection” button to start the process (see the following screenshots).

After you hit the “Make Connection” button you should see a message saying “AWeber Authorization Success” given you provided the correct authorization code. Save the settings.

Step 2) Enable the Integration

Make sure you have checked the “Enable AWeber Signup” option in the settings to enable the AWeber integration.

Step 3) Specify the AWeber List Name/ID

Next, you need to specify the AWeber list name/ID so the plugin knows which list it should signup the members.

Below is an example of how an AWeber list name/ID looks like (you get the list ID value from your AWeber account):

awlist1234567

You can specify a Global list name in the “AWeber List Name” settings field so all members get added to that list. Remember to save the settings after you make changes.

Alternatively, you can signup your members to different AWeber lists based on their membership level also. For membership level specific signup, specify the list name in the “Autoresponder List/Campaign Name” section of the membership level in question.
