question about payment options

As I can see I have two options for payments on my site.
One is to create a PayPal button with a redirect after payment back to my site for registration etc…

The second option is to create a subscription form with PayPal and CC acceptance so that payments will be processed on my site.

I noticed about the FIRST method that if buyers select the “pay with a credit card” they are still forced (by PayPal) to create a PayPal account. Not everybody wants this.

I just wonder how that is with the second option. Are buyers then also forced to create a PayPal account or is the payment processed by the individual card companies (like Visa, American Express, Solo etc…)

Hope to hear something soon.

Hi Boudewijn,

If you want to accept credit cards on your site (e.g., not use PayPal), then you will need to sign up for the PayPal Pro service. With PayPal Pro, your customers can pay with a credit card on your site and never see PayPal. Please see the video below for more information:

Hi There

Just following boudewijn earlier question. What happen if paypal pro is not available in your country?.
I have s2Member PRO and I’d like to use all the benefits associated to my upgrade by consolidating all the subscription process into one form… Thx!

You can use the pro-forms with Authorize.Net too. Features » Authorize.Net® Pro Form Integration (Also Popular) :)
