American cards OK, foreign cards get error

Hi

I am trying to configure s2member pro on my site http://www.newutd.no. I have a “Bli medlem” (become a member) link on the home page, where I have a PayPal Pro Form signup.

I have tried with two different American credit cards, and they both work fine. User is registred, amount is charged, and a confirmation is sent out to both me and the registred user.

The problem is that I am Norwegian, and so are my customers. All the five cards (three different persons) we have tried have been blocked, most of them getting the following message:

Error #81247. Invalid Parameter. CreditCardType : Invalid Parameter.

This message shows up on my site, not on PayPal, and prevents the user from paying and registring.

Is there a setting that I have to edit in order to receive payments from Norway? I have had Paypal working with an e-commerce plugin for over a year, so I dont know why this is happening now.

Any idea?

I also wonder where it is possible to translate all the fields in the registration form?

Thank you

Hi Nordin,

Since you’re using PayPal Pro, this is most likely an error coming from PayPal that s2Member is simply passing through to your site. On s2Member’s side, there isn’t anything in different that you need to do for foreign payments.

Regarding translations, please see Pre Sale FAQs » Can s2Member® be translated into other languages? and also front-end translations.

I am actually not using Paypal Pro, just the standard version. Maybe that is the issue? It works fine with payments through my webshop.

If you’re using the standard version of PayPal, you cannot use the on-site credit card processing feature of the Pro-Forms. Please see the note “*PayPal® Pro is NOT Absolutely Required*” under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Quick Start Guide.
