Link for button to Paypal does not work

Hi: When I create buttons in S2Member to link to Paypal, I copy and paste the code to the site page, and most of the time, when the user clicks on them, they go to Paypal and get an error.

The message it sends looks like this:

Sorry — your last action could not be completed
If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.

If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don’t use your browser’s Back button) and restart your activity.

If you came from PayPal’s website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again.

To address it, I have deactivated all the other plugins on the site, and brought everything on the site to current versions. The problem persists.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Tony.

Could you paste here the code you’re using? Put it inside HTML [hilite mono]<[/hilite][hilite mono]code><[/hilite][hilite mono]/code>[/hilite] tags, please. Thanks!

Also, make sure you have logging enabled, and see if you get any entries for these failed attempts, which is unlikely if you didn’t go very far, but still worth checking. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

Thank you. I have tried both the short code and the long code. Long code gives a different error. Here is the short code:

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="VA Advisor Member / Reviews, recordings, comments, and more!" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.newrulesofselfemployment.com" ta="14.00" tp="30" tt="D" ra="14.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

I will work on the logging shortly.

Thanks. The shortcode looks okay. I’ll wait for the logs.
