## Description

WP-Chargify allows users to integrate the Chargify service with WordPress. Giving
you the ability to run a membership or subscription-based website, controlling access
to content based on paid or free subscriptions.

## Installation

 1.  Create a WordPress page where people will sign up for access to your site. This
     is where a user will be taken to register and begin the signup process.
      a. Place
     the shortcode [chargify] in the body of your page somewhere to create the sign
     up form. If you are using the accounting code functionality on your products and
     want to limit by them you’d change the shortcode to something like [chargify accountingcodes
     =20,22] b. You can fill the rest of the page in with whatever else you want, any
     content that makes sense for you. c. Note the URL of this page (full URL)
 2.  Create a WordPress page where your users will return to after a successful signup.
     
     a. This will be after they complete a successful transaction b. This will be useful
     for tracking analytics. You can use Google Analytics to make this the Goal page,
     and track signups and conversions as goals. c. You should also consider using 
     this page to give information to your users once they’ve finished paying for their
     memberships, such as welcome to our site, here’s a link to our FAQ. Here are some
     pages you may want to check out. d. The user’s login information will come to 
     them in an email. It is helpful to tell them to check their email to get that 
     information and allow them to login. e. This email is the typical New User email,
     and you can modify it via other plugins.
 3.  Got to the Chargify settings section of the WordPress admin area.
      a. Add your
     API Key (you get this from Chargify.com when logged in) b. Your Test API Key is
     probably the same. c. Your Domain is the subdomain you get when creating a new
     site inside of the Chargify system d. Your Test Domain is probably the same as
     above. e. Mode, leave it Test until you’re ready to make it live. f. Sign-up Type
     should be left at Default unless you know what you’re doing. g. Signup Link – 
     Place the URL to the page you created in step 1.
 4.  Go to Chargify.com and login.
 5.  Create your products at Chargify.com You’ll create a product family and products
     below that. (these will be the different access and product levels). Feel free
     to just have one product – standard access.
 6.  While creating your Product, add the following line to your return parameters:
     subscription_id={subscription_id}&customer_reference={customer_reference}
      a. 
     This is CRITICAL. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! It is the information that is passed
     after a successful transaction that tells WordPress to create the new account.
 7.  Now that you have a product identified, your WordPress account will use that information
     and allow you to set pages or posts to private. Go create a test post and look
     for the Chargify settings within that post edit page, and check that it’s for 
     members only (or whatever you named your product).
 8.  Now, when you try and access that product, you’ll be told you have to be logged
     in to view, and it should give you a link to sign up for an account.
 9.  Logout of WordPress and try it. Go through every step and make sure it’s working
     before your turn off the Test function.
 10. If that works, you’ll need to continue setting up your Chargify account, inputting
     whatever information you need for your merchant account, payment gateway, or PayPal
     account. See chargify’s support for more information on that.

## FAQ

  What are the new fangled filters I keep hearing about?

Add extra fields to the bottom of the register forms

    ```
    filter: 'chargify_signup_form_extra'
    Input: HTML Form, chargify options, $_REQUEST
    Return: Form appended with extra fields
    ```

Turn off the redirect/login call after successful payment

    ```
    filter: 'chargify_auto_login'
    Input: true
    Return: true/false
    ```

Allows the username to be set from the new filtered form

    ```
    filter: 'chargify_signup_username'
    Input: email address
    Return: Alternate username
    ```

Allows the password to be set via the new form.

    ```
    filter: 'chargify_signup_pass'
    Input: Random standard 12 character WP password
    Return: Alternate defined password
    ```

I am the plugin author and I approve this message Are you tired of paypal? I’m tired
of paypal. I’d do anything to not have to run my membership site with them as my
payment processor. Enter Chargify. They make subscrptions easy to start, easy to
stop, and easy to manage for the member. It also makes it easy to setup and use 
as the site owner. Free yourself from the tyranny of Paypal. Chargify and this simple
plugin are all you need.
