Hello, I have seen this question asked many ways without a clear answer, and I hope this posting will make it clear for the few of us who have not had a direct – cut to the bone response. I have a Paypal Payments Standard account, which accepts paypal AND credit / debit cards. When creating paypal buttons through the s2member paypal button generator – it ONLY uses the express checkout This is not the way I understood the product to work prior to installing and using it. Now, I believe that to get around this payment issue to make it easier for my future members, is to upgrade to s2Member Pro AND upgrade my Paypal account to the Pro version as well (which is an incremental $30 / month!) Mind you, upgrading to the pro version of Paypal is not guaranteed, and takes up to 5 business days. The way s2Member has this set up (xpress checkout) appears to be an interface CHOICE in order to upsell the s2member Pro and maybe receive recurring affiliate payments for having their members sign up using the Paypal Pro service. If that’s the business revenue model – fine. I understand. It is what it is. I think s2member is a superior product, and was carefully developed with the user in mind. But I think no one expects to go through this process to find it out. The way it is currently set up is such that by the time you discover this small ‘omission’ – you are in a no recourse position – meaning, you have to pay more to proceed in getting the ultimate solution you thought you had from the start. So just let me know – am I correct in the way this works? (I hope not) If I am NOT correct – how do I give someone the option to pay using a credit card by bypassing this express checkout automation feature and just using the regular paypal standards payment module button and invoice template? Thanks for all your help! |
