Coupon codes need PayPal Pro account?

Hi,

I just want to clarify something concerning coupon codes.

To be able to use the s2members pro coupon code functionalities do I need a PayPal Pro account? In other words, are the coupon codes functionalities associated with s2members pro or with Paypal pro?

Thank you,
Sabine.

Hi Sabine,

The Pro Coupons feature can only be used with s2Member Pro-Forms, but neither the Pro-Forms nor the Pro Coupons require PayPal Pro.

*PayPal® Pro is NOT Absolutely Required* s2Member is very flexible. It is now possible to integrate Pro Forms without a PayPal® Pro account, whereby the enhanced Form Shortcodes that s2Member provides can be integrated ONLY with PayPal® Express Checkout. In other words, if you get declined for PayPal® Pro service, you can still use s2Member Pro Forms. Ask PayPal® to activate Express Checkout for you. ( it’s free ). Once Express Checkout is enabled, you will have access to your PayPal® API Credentials. Log into your PayPal® account, and navigate to Profile -> API Access (or Request API Credentials). You’ll choose ( Request API Signature ). Now … here is the tricky part; whenever you generate a Pro Form Shortcode with s2Member, be sure to change accept=”paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo” to just accept=”paypal”; thereby excluding the on-site credit card processing functionality; which is available only with PayPal® Pro.

Thank you so much! Clear and concise ;)

You’re most welcome! Glad I could help. :)
