Groups Paypal

I purchased Groups PayPaI because It included Sbscriptions. I am building a site similar to Etsy. Is there a way to deny/stop a vendor from accessing their shop, or dashboard if they are no longer paying for their subscription? If so can someone please give me the steps to do so…I am not a developer (but I am getting more comfortable with all the plugins).

Thank you in advance,
Sidney Muniz

    Hello Antonio,

    I guess my bigger question is …..is there a way to block a registered user from being able to log into there account if the have not paid their subscription. That way they can not access anything…. ex: like their shop/ their dashboard/ their products etc.

      Hi,
      You could use the subscriptions to join/leave to/from the ‘Registered’ group, but if an user leaves the Registered group, then he could not logging in to renew the subscription. So it’s not a good idea.
      I think the best option is create a GroupA. Limits the pages (shops, products…) to this GroupA. Then with the subscription the users can join/leave this GroupA.

      Kind Regards,

    I apologize but I still don’t see how the subscription will end if payment is not received. I can’t figure it out and the [groups_paypal_subscription id=”x”] does nothing for me!.

    I wish you would have a specific you tube video on the process you told me to take…because it’s not working. Very disappointed.

      Hi,
      in Groups->Subscriptions, you have a table with all your subscriptions. In this table, you have a ‘status’ column where you can see if the subscription is active or not. If this is not active is because the user has not renewed it.

    Ok, so I put the [groups_paypal_subscription id=”x”] in the text area of the page? The “x” stays “x”??

      Hi,
      the X is the subscription’s ID (you can get this from Subscriptions->All Subscriptions.
      Please have a look at the shortcode documentation page.

      Hi,
      please have a look at the documentation page.
      The process is:
      – Create the groups that you need from Groups->Groups
      – Set the Paypal settings from Groups->Paypal
      – Set the Subscriptions settings from Groups->Subscription settings.
      – Create a Subscription from Subscriptions->Add New.
      – Set the ‘join to the subscription’ button in a page using the [groups_paypal_subscription id=”x”] shortcode.
      . Then you can see the subscribers from Groups->Subscriptions

      Kind Regards,

    Hi Sidney,
    When a user fails to pay for a subscription then ceases to belong to the groups of this subscription. So you can restrict your pages that is only accessible if you belong to that group.
    Please have a look at the Groups Subscription and Groups Paypal documentation pages.
    Kind Regards,
