How to mark posts as paid and pay with PayPal

March 23, 2017 by Stefano 4 Comments

One of the most useful features of the PRO version is the Mark as paid one. This tutorial will guide you through how you can mark authors and posts as paid with Post Pay Counter, and how to use the plugin to pay authors through PayPal in just a few clicks.

Marking as paid is useful especially because it allows for automated payment managing! You will not need to take care of how much you paid an author last month and how much you should pay him this month. The plugin will keep a payment history and will make all the math needed.

Setting up permissions

First thing you need to care about is permissions. Post Pay Counter has detailed permissions settings to keep users from accessing features they should not. You yourself may not yet have access to payment features because you lack permissions to do so.

Head over to Post Pay Counter > Options and look for the Permissions box. Let’s start by ticking all payment-related permissions. Of course, you can play around with them and decide exactly which you want to be active, but we are going to present all the available features now.

When your setup will be complete, you may want to personalize user settings in order to hide those features from normal users and only see them yourself.

Mark as paid posts and authors

Payments happen in the stats page, so let’s go to Post Pay Counter > Stats now. Payment features are available both in the general stats view (where authors are displayed) and in the detailed stats view (where posts details from a single author are displayed). We will be showing them off for the detailed view of a specific author now.

PayPal setup and configuration with Post Pay Counter PRO

April 15, 2014 by Stefano

Post Pay Counter PRO does not only compute payments on your WordPress blog, but it allows you to pay your writers without having to manually head to PayPal’s website and enter the amounts and emails. Up to 6 users can be paid at a time, each transaction needs to be explicitly authorized before it is completed (works just like a Checkout page), currency conversion is supported and it is possible to choose whom pays the PayPal fees, either the admin (sender) or the users (receivers). The plugin works with the Adaptive Payments API, if you ever wanted to know.

This tutorial will walk you through setting up PayPal with the plugin. If you want to know how to actually pay authors, see this other tutorial. To know how users can enter their PayPal addresses, see this tutorial.

How to set users’ PayPal email address

September 9, 2017 by Stefano

Post Pay Counter PRO allows to pay authors through PayPal with ease. However, users must enter the PayPal email address which they would like to be paid to, for the feature to work.

There are several ways in which you can make them do that.

1. Their profile page

The user profile page is the easiest place in which they can set their PayPal email address, just as any other profile settings. The feature is enabled by default and you need to take no action. However, this requires that authors have access to wp-admin, at least for profile editing, which they may not depending on your setup.

2. Any public page of your choice

The PRO version comes with several shortcodes for stats. It also ships a shortcode to display the PayPal email address form in any public page of your choice. You just need to create a new page, enter [ppc_user_paypal_email_settings] as text and publish it. Logged-in users visiting that page will see the apt field to enter and change their PayPal email address.
