Hi guys, your pro plugins seems to be just what I need for my client.
I am building a membership website with subscriptions payments via WooCommerce, and different authors are going to publish content there.
The website will have 50% of all revenue (mostly due to Brazil taxes), and the 50% left will be split between contributors.I want to pay my contributors based on page visit ( would be THE-BEST-EVER if I could send info to the plugin about audio/video plays, if I can, please let me know! )
The thing is that my monthly payment value will vary, according to half of my subscription income.
So, it wouldn’t be a problem if I had to input the value on your plugin manually, but it would be amazing if it could gather the info from the WooCommerce monthly revenue.
Also, if there is any way I can send data to the plugin, like video/audio plays, that would me extraordinary.
Thank you so much for looking into this for me ๐February 1, 2016 at 7:14 am #49895StefanoKeymasterHi Pedro,
so correct me if I’m wrong.You need to pay per visit with a payment rate that varies every month.
If that’s the case, this is not exactly an explicit feature, but can be achieved with the PRO version. I’ll try to explain (it’s way easier done than told).When you make a settings change in whatever part of the Post Pay Counter (both free version and addons), new settings apply immediately. So, if you change the payment rate for visits, you would see stats change its payment values. So this is the thing that allows you to specify a different payment rate every month. Now, if you didn’t have the ability to lock old posts with old settings, it wouldn’t be of much help. But the thing is that the PRO version allows you to mark posts as paid. When you mark a post as paid, not only its payment is stored, but the amount of visits you paid it for is as well. When you mark a post as paid, its due payment drops to zero: at that point you can change the payment settings however you want, and it will still be zero until new visits are logged (if any).
The only limitations of this method is that
- every time you want to change the payment settings, you need to mark users as paid (before)
- all users must be marked as paid together, so that they can all “start from scratch” with new settings at the beginning of the new month.
Also, if there is any way I can send data to the plugin, like video/audio plays, that would me extraordinary.
Sorry, but this is not possible ๐
Also, there’s currently no integration with WooCommerce.Does all this help? ๐
Have a nice day,
StefanoFebruary 2, 2016 at 10:12 pm #49910Pedro FerrariGuestHello Stefano, thank you for your answer.
It seems workable, I will try your suggestion.Just to be clear on the process:
– Today finished a full month and I am going to pay the collaborators
– I mark everyone as paid
– I change the payment rules and apply this month revenue value
– The value will be divided across collaborators based on my payment rules
– The payment values will be calculated for the last 30 days?From what you said, looks like I can’t do the last step, the alternative would be to pay the authors based on the last month revenue first, then I set this month revenue to pay on the next month.
Thank you again!
February 3, 2016 at 2:10 pm #49917StefanoKeymasterNot exactly. I’ll try to make this clearer through a real scenario.
โ Today finished a full month and I am going to pay the collaborators
Okay, so let’s say you made $50. We said you pay for visit. The plugin needs to know how much each visit should be paid. Say you have an overall total of 1000 visits (summing up all posts visits, the sum is displayed below the stats table), then each visit is worth $50/1000 = $0.05. You put this value in the Incremental payment value.And NOW you mark everyone as paid. Repeat for next month ๐
Is it clearer now?
