UltraCart now provides seamless, one-click integration with the aMember membership management system.
aMember is a flexible membership and subscription management PHP script that allows you to setup paid-membership areas on your site. It can also be used without any payment system - you can manage users manually. For more information about aMember, please see their documentation.

Note

These instructions are for aMember v4 or later. Earlier installations should follow these instructions: aMemberIntegration_legacy.pdf

Popluate the following fields

aMember Version

Select Version 4

aMember Installation URL

This is the base url of your aMember site. Include the amember directory. You must include the http:// or

https://

. You do not need any trailing (ending) slashes

API Key

This is the API key created on your aMember site. (The one we told you to copy earlier, remember?)

Enable aMember

check this box to turn on the integration. Uncheck it to turn it off.

Payment System Name

Enter 'offline', the payment plugin you enabled earlier when configuring aMember.

Password Behavior

Three Choices:

  1. Order Email - this is the email used on the order
  2. Random - UltraCart will create a random password
  • Customer Profile, then Random - UltraCart will check to see if an UltraCart profile exists for customer. If so, it will use that, else UltraCart will create a random password.

Notify on Login Truncation

check this value. You'll want to know. UltraCart uses email address to create aMember user names. The aMember database limits user names to 31 characters. Any email over 31 characters will be truncated. This can be problematic if your customers assume their email is the username. By checking this box, you'll be notified, and can alert the customer that their aMember user name is not their full email address.
