Hi all! I have been trying for the past few days to find a way to charge all users who create a site on my domain. I am aware of all the usual "protected content" techniques, but I want to be able to simply charge admins when they create an account. I was thinking about just obfuscating the wp-signup url and redirecting to that after the user has entered Paypal information, but it seems like there ought to be a more elegant solution. Any ideas?
WordPress MultiSite Admin Integration with Paypal (10 posts)

There are paid plugins that do this.
Or, you could close signups & direct people to a paypal screen then manually create their blog from the backend.

Posted 1 year ago #Yup, manual integration is easiest, especially when you are dealing with low volumes of signups. For anyone else looking for something like this, wpmudev.org seems to have some good (paid) resources.

Posted 1 year ago #s2member is free, allows four levels of membership (bronze silver etc) with unlimited variations of each level, and integrates PayPal and other services. It also integrates with the wp registration and login in system, protects content in RSS feeds appropriately for membership level, and a whole heap more besides.
You can get it from the wp.org plugin repository.

Do they have s2member working with multisite yet?

# WP Multisite Compatible: soon
# Multisite Blog Farm Compatible: no -
It said the same thing a couple months ago. :)

Per the lead developer on July 14th:
We are working to release a new version of s2Member that will be compatible with WP 3.0 Multisite Networking, but we're not there just yet.
I think that's definitive enough. :)

Posted 1 year ago #On the other hand - if it works on WP 3.0 multisite home blog as a non-networked plugin and is used to protect the signup and blog creation (i.e. to make the new user pay-up) then it achieves the purpose the OP enquired about.
Once the user has paid on the home blog to sign-up, then normal multi-site functionality takes over with the new user established as a site admin in the normal way.
I don't think the OP is looking for network-wide or farm-wide deployment, only on the home site as the point of subscribing. s2member allows recurring subscriptions, and deactivation of unpaid blogs can be done manually after review of the subscription receipts screen. The aim I think would be to have the sign-up automated as the primary requirement (customers are very time sensitive about this) then everything else can be a little slower once the customer has been "captured".
