While I don’t have your multiple member registration requirement, Kelli, I too am looking for the ability to register first, THEN go to PayPal, and without using the Pro Forms (because it only goes to Express Checkout on PayPal, which requires a PP account, and I don’t want to force people to get one).

I also think my sign-up completion rate will be improved by having the registration first, and then paying – if something goes wrong with the payment, we’ve at least got their name, etc.

I’ll post something here if I find some information…

Thanks for that Raam!

Now to just clarify a bit more:

which then sends the user to PayPal to complete their payment.

When the user gets to PayPal, do they HAVE to have a PayPal account or will it be the usual “Use your PayPal account or Click here to use Credit Cards” (not CC on our site, but on PayPal’s).

We don’t want members to have to have a PayPal account, and from what I understand of Express Checkout – you MUST be a PayPal member…

Sorry, I’ve never used Express Checkout – my impression was that it ONLY accepts PayPal accounts, with no Credit Card link. But as I reread the details of your FAQ, is the adding of the credit card names here:

accept_via_paypal=”paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo”

enough to trigger PayPal’s Express Checkout to display the “use Credit Card instead” link??

EDIT: Oh wait, according to this further down:

It is NOT possible for a Customer to go through PayPal® Express Checkout without having and/or acquiring a PayPal® account, regardless of the transaction type (i.e. Buy Now functionality is no exception to this rule).

Even if a link to pay by credit card is generated with Express Checkout (and it’s not clear it is),
we don’t want to force members to have a PayPal account.

So using s2Member Pro Forms to send Credit Card paying members over to PayPal is not practical for us… shame.

According to that FAQ piece, though:

Using s2Member® Pro, does NOT mean that you must use PayPal® Pro integration. Just don’t generate any PayPal® Pro Form Shortcodes. Instead, you could use Standard PayPal® Buttons

Which suggests that without PayPal Pro I cannot use the Forms in s2Member Pro – only a PayPal button (we’re not concerned with any other payment gateway)…

So we’d be stuck with doing PayPal first and then coming back to do registration in s2Member.

There’s no way to use the s2Member Pro Forms (without PayPal Pro) and THEN send people to PayPal Standard…??
