Re: s2Member pro still leaving my site and going to Paypal

Thank you again!

This is good information - and certainly more than I could find - unfortunately there is nothing that I can find, anywhere, that tells me why I'm still being redirected off of my site to Paypal.com to complete a payment.

I've sent a message to Primo support but haven't heard back from them.

Check out this link....

I think the guide is in the plugin itself, (PayPal Pro Forms > Quick-Start Guide For PayPal Pro Integration)

Still - using the PayPal forms - but it's still bringing me to Paypal.com to complete the purchase!

Is there a manual anywhere?

So I have to use the PayPal Pro Forms within the plugin - not the buttons? Why does it still list the buttons as an option?

When I create the form - it's making me then create a profile.......I'm assuming there is a way to not need a profile?

I just want someone to be able to come to my site, do a buy it now, and enter their credit card information (for now)....but it does look like I need to use forms.

Thanks for your help!

PayPal Pro uses forms though, not buttons.

Hey there,
Thank you for the response.
I did all that......created the button. The problem is when I click the button it leaves my site and brings me to Paypal.com - which it's not supposed to. The s2Member Pro, with Paypal Pro, is supposed to leave customers on my site, not redirect them to Paypal.

Any ideas?

I don't have pro so I'm not sure what it looks like, but I don't think you create buttons like normal. You should be able to integrate it into a page or something.

Found this on the FAQ page...

What type of PayPal® account do I need?

The s2Member Pro Module makes it possible for s2Member to use PayPal® Pro Forms ( instead of standard PayPal® Buttons ). PayPal® Pro Forms integrate seamlessly with WordPress® Shortcodes. This allows you to keep Customers on your site at all times, and it consolidates the Checkout / Registration steps into a single form that you can dress up just the way you like. If you would like to take advantage of PayPal® Pro integration, you will need a PayPal® Business Account, w/Pro Service. PayPal® Pro accounts require a formal application, along with a small monthly fee.

Once you have your PayPal® Pro account, you'll need access to your PayPal® Pro API Credentials. Log into your PayPal® Pro account, and navigate to Profile -> Request API Credentials. You'll choose ( PayPal® API ), and then choose ( Create Your Own ). Once you've got your API Credentials, come back and paste them into the fields provided by s2Member. See: s2Member -> PayPal® Options -> Account Details.

If you plan to use any of the ( Subscription ) options in the s2Member Form Generator for PayPal® Pro, you will ALSO need Recurring Billing enabled for your PayPal® Pro account. PayPal's Recurring Billing service for Pro accounts is required for all types of ( Subscriptions ), whether you intend for them to be recurring or not. However, it is NOT required for ( Buy Now ) functionality. The drop-down menus in the s2Member Form Generator, have been marked ( Subscription ) and ( Buy Now ) just for this reason. See: s2Member -> PayPal® Pro Forms. This way you can see which options will require the use of PayPal's Recurring Billing service. PayPal® will charge you a small monthly fee for their Recurring Billing service; which is an add-on for PayPal® Pro accounts.

s2Member pro still leaving my site and going to Paypal

2010-11-15T12:38:00-05:00

I upgraded to s2Member Pro - and Paypal pro. Configured a button. When I click on the button it brings me to Paypal.

Why is this happening? I thought, with the purchase of the Pro versions of each, that users would not be leaving my site?

Thanks!
