Upgrade from Paypal Standard to PayPalRPro?

We need the pro version to import a big 500+ members list and a few other goodies. Will we have to upgrade our PayPal account to PayPal Pro? Or, is there a way around this? We do not want to pay $30 a month for PP.

Hi Joann,

You will not need to upgrade your PayPal account to PayPal Pro to use s2Member Pro. Just make sure that if you switch to s2Member Pro Forms, you enable *only* PayPal as your payment gateway, and not enable credit cards, as they won’t work without PayPal Pro.

Thanks, Guys.
1. Forums: does Pro include a forum, or is it designed to wrk with a specificwordpress forum plugin?
2. Our site is using a temporary IP until the site transfer is effective – in the next few days.. Can i prchase and install Pro on the IP site withoutcausing headaches down the line? Or, should I just wait until the site is live?

s2Member Pro does not come with a forums system, but has been integrated on serveral websites (including s2member.com) with bbPress.

Check out Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Other Integrations -› bbPress® for info on this when you purchase Pro.

You can certainly install s2Member Pro on your temporary IP. s2Member will just need the usual tweaks that WordPress needs to be on a different domain. Make sure to change your domain in Dashboard -› Settings
