Creating Membership Plans and Post Limits for Real Estate Websites

Hi guyr, this is step-by-step approach to setting up dynamic membership plans on a real estate listing website using JetFormBuilder. It covers creating subscription registration forms, managing user roles, and configuring payment gateways.

Key Steps to Create Membership Plans

1. Setting Up JetFormBuilder

Ensure you have JetEngine installed to create posts and fields.
Use JetFormBuilder to create a subscription registration form with selectable membership plans.

2. Creating a PayPal Developer Account

Sign up for a PayPal Developer Account to manage subscriptions.
Navigate to the Apps and Credentials section to create a new app and obtain your Client ID and Secret Key.

3. Creating Subscription Plans in PayPal

Go to the Subscription section in PayPal and create a new plan.
Specify the product ID, type, and pricing details for your subscription. Choose a plan type (e.g., fixed pricing) to charge users a consistent amount.

4. Configuring Payment Gateway

In JetFormBuilder settings, enable the PayPal Payment Gateway.
Input your PayPal keys and configure whether the payment will be a one-time charge or a subscription.

5. Creating Subscription Forms

Create separate forms for each subscription plan. Include hidden fields to capture user ID and the number of posts allowed per subscription.
Use meta fields to store the number of posts a user can create.

6. Updating User Roles and Post Limits

After payment, update the user’s role from subscriber to author, allowing them to create and edit posts.
Ensure that the subscription renews automatically each month, updating the number of posts accordingly.

7. Form Visibility and User Experience

Implement dynamic visibility for forms based on the user’s remaining post count. Only show the form if the user has posts available.

Important Considerations

Test your forms in PayPal’s sandbox mode before going live to ensure everything works smoothly.
Customize the checkout experience in PayPal if needed, but this can be done later.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively set up dynamic membership plans for your real estate website, allowing users to subscribe and manage their listings efficiently. For further details, refer to the tutorial linked in the description of the video.
