Error in PayPal Attempting to Upgrade to ERP

I recently began the process to upgrade my client’s website from the free/standard paypal recurring billing model to the Website Payments Pro + ERP model.

I had my client upgrade the business PayPal account to a Pro account first. Then I logged in and attempted to signup for the ERP service and got the following error:

“Your version of Website Payments Pro is not compatible with the Direct Payment Recurring Payments feature.”

PayPal does not make it easy to find these signup forms (I searched to find ERP), so I may have found an old or out of date link.

Can anyone help with this? It’s the last step in the way of launching this upgrade! I need the recurring billing as the site/organization is one that charges an annual fee for membership.

Could this be a Payflow issue?

Hi Josiah,

I recommend contacting PayPal about this.

Recurring payments are definitely possible with Payflow and the latest version of s2Member Pro supports PayPal Payflow.
