Error #7 (?)

Hi guys,

** This is a repost from the Community forum (http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/form-submission-error/). **

So I finally created a Website Payments Pro account and had to add on Payflow + Recurring Billing.

I tried to run a test transaction tonight and got the following error:

Error #7. Field format error: Invalid PAYPERIOD.

Here is my shortcode:
[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="3" ccaps="" desc="1 Days free / then $0.01 USD / Daily ( recurring charge, for ongoing access )" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" success="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/thank-you.php" custom="www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com" ta="0.00" tp="1" tt="D" ra="0.01" rp="1" rt="D" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="" captcha="clean" /]

Any help on this please?

Thank you.

Thanks for reporting this! I’ll forward it to Jason now.

Ok thanks Cristian.

I would really appreciate knowing what’s happening with this – this is the final component of my site, which I had been hoping to launch this week.

I should note that everything was working fine in Sandbox mode.

It was only when I created a live account last week (with Payflow + Recurring Billing) and that the variables from the live account were input into my install that this started happening.

Although of course, the Sandbox mode was using Website Payments Pro while the new account doesn’t.

Thanks for the heads up on this request for support.
~ This is being investigated now.

Jason – thanks as always.

I’m sure my name rings a bell, having bought the product a while ago. :)

Let me know if you need access to my site in any way and where you’d want me to input the details.

Looking forward to a resolution.

Bran

Thanks for bringing this request for support to my attention.

@Bran / Thanks for reporting this important issue.

Maintenance release of s2Member Pro v120601 addresses this concern.
http://www.s2member.com/changelog/#s2-changes-v120601

(s2Member Pro) Payflow® Daily Recurrence (Limitation). PayPal® Pro accounts with the Payflow® Edition API, are NOT capable of charging on a daily recurring basis. Previous releases of s2Member® Pro mistakenly documented this as being possible. Resolved in the release of s2Member Pro v120601.

PayPal® Pro accounts operating with the Payflow® Edition (and integrated with s2Member®), are only capable of charging recurring fees on the following schedules: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. This is in large part, a limitation in the Payflow® API, which we hope will be resolved by PayPal® in a future version. Please feel free to contact PayPal® if you’d like to vote for this feature! This limitation does NOT affect existing PayPal® Pro accounts operating exclusively under the PayPal® Pro API (e.g. without Payflow®).

I am very sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Please let us know if we can be of assistance in this matter.

Jason,

Super thanks as always for your help!

Very interesting regarding PayPal. Makes me a bit apprehensive that they’ll surprise us all again shortly, but I have to go with them for now.

Thank you for keeping on top of this.

Best,

Bran

You’re very welcome. Yea, PayPal is still our favorite processor too :-)
