Thanks Bruce & Jason,

I DO need to do recurring monthly payments but at this stage, I don’t not want to commit to PayPro although I can see the enormous advantage in users not having to create a PayPal account. So, I am happy at the moment to force the user to create a PayPal account.

I am slightly confused still though because of 2 things:

1. In trying to find the answer to this myself, I read this thread http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/reoccurring-payments-without-paypal-account/ where support said “We normally don’t recommend ERP because it results in problems for the site owner that they simply do not (or refuse not to) foresee. One of the main issues with ERP, is that there’s no way for a customer to cancel future charges, and there’s no way for s2Member to cancel future charges.” This conversation seems to end with the confirmation that subscriptions can be done with Paypal standard or express and didn’t mention ERP again. Maybe things have changed since then but it seems very concerning that there’s no way to cancel future charges. That would be a deal-breaker for me. Are you able to confirm that?

2. Given that I don’t want to upgrade my PayPal account at this stae (it’s a standard Business one) and that I don’t mind the fact that users need to create an account with Paypal AND with my site, should I be using Buttons or Prof Forms for the signup? I have tried both. Buttons appear to work fine (except that I couldn’t find how to change the registration questions). However when I use forms I encounter this error: “Error #10478. Invalid Data. Recurring payments profile description must be provided if the billing agreement type is recurring payments.” Being a PayPal error, I figure the issue is with my PayPal account set up. Is this basically calling for ERP?

Sorry to ramble on. Thanks,
Leisl

Hi Bruce,

I am trying to do something similar to Mindy, however my developer tells me that even the free trial must be processed through paypal. I am not sure that someone will want to give their credit card details even though we assure them they won’t be charged for 90 days.

Is that the case? Or does the user need to finalise their registration and payment with paypal at the end of the trial period?
