Paid Subscription Settings

In the “Settings” section of the Wordpress mailing list plugin, there are several configuration settings directly related to the paid subscriptions feature of the software.

Paid Subscriptions

The first section is the “Paid Subscriptions” section with some general settings related to the paid subscriptions. Below are the fields and their descriptions.

Currency

This value allows you to change the currency symbol being displayed on your Wordpress website to the users subscribing to your mailing list(s). Most of the popular currencies have been implemented here and they are displayed in alphabetic order so that you can quickly find your currency.

Admin Notification on Order

A simple “Yes” or “No” selection which allows you to tell the plugin whether or not you would like to be notified via email as an administrator whenever a new order has been processed. Obviously, you’ll still receive the usual 2Checkout receipt email, but this is just a notification from the plugin itself. By default, this setting is turned on, in other words, set to “Yes”.

Expiration Message

When a user’s subscription expires, the user will receive an email notification regarding this. You can customize the content of the email which will be sent out to the users with expired subscriptions. All dynamic variables are welcome here. The {activationlink} dynamic variable will generate the renewal link, which when clicked, will take the user to the payment gateway.

2Checkout Settings

These settings are specific to your 2Checkout vendor account. Please ensure they are correct, for paid subscriptions will not work as expected with incorrect settings.

2Checkout Vendor ID

This is your actual 2CO vendor ID. It is displayed at the top of your vendor account once you have logged in.

Vendor Secret

This is a secret word/string which is used for hash encryption (a security measurement). You have to set this word/string inside your 2CO vendor account inside the “Account” > “Site Management” section.

Demo Mode

Specifies whether or not demo mode is turned on or off. You can turn demo mode on for testing purposes to ensure that your paid subscriptions are working correctly. Please ensure that you turn demo mode off for production purposes because users are not charged when demo mode is on.
