Switching to PayPal Pro

Okay, so after launching yesterday, we realized we goofed and should have added PayPal Pro before launching. So now, we are awaiting PayPal to approve us and setup recurring billing.

So, we had 200+ users sign up yesterday – and I’m working on building the new PayPal Pro forms in behind the scenes, which will hopefully go live overnight. Here is my problem – while testing the new forms “live” – even as the administrator, it wants me to still create an account before inserting my billing information. Here is what I need to know:

Because we have three subscription tiers, how do I remove the registration form part from the PayPal Pro Forms checkout? I created a sample Free account and when I logged on to the subscription page, and it wanted me to create a profile all over again. I just want the checkout form part.

Will everyone that registered have to be deleted and re-register?

Thanks!

In addition to my previous post, I also setup a Pro Forms register form on the site – setup a new account – and then went to the subscription page. It still wants me to create a new account – versus just letting me check out.

Update – I discovered I can’t have the pro-form in more than one place on the page – i used a tab plugin and that caused my first set of problems.

Hi Tony. Thanks for the update!

That’s right, multiple pro-forms in a single page won’t work.

I’m glad you sorted that out. :)
