With s2Member Pro Forms, PayPal requires you to integrate what's known as PayPal Express Checkout. Normally, PayPal Express Checkout is to be offered to your Customers as the PayPal alternative, for those who prefer to pay with PayPal. Thus, PayPal Express Checkout assumes that you are operating with a PayPal Pro account, whereby your Pro Forms would allow the Customer to checkout with a credit/debit card "on your site", and the only reason a Customer would choose PayPal Express Checkout, is to pay via PayPal, because they prefer that method.
In other words, s2Member Pro Forms are only integrated with PayPal Express Checkout on your site, and with PayPal Express Checkout, each Customer is required to have a PayPal account, regardless of your PayPal account settings and/or checkout configuration, because PayPal Express Checkout integration itself, is designed specifically for PayPal account holders.
If you want to continue to use Pro Forms, the only way to allow your Customers to pay with a credit/debit card (without having a PayPal account or signing up for one), is to acquire a PayPal Pro account. Once you've done that, s2Member Pro Forms will be able to facilitate the checkout process with a credit/debit card "on your site", and offer PayPal Express Checkout only to those Customers who actually prefer to pay with PayPal. This is the ideal configuration. It's the way s2Member Pro and PayPal are intended to work in a ideal fashion.
I hope that helps understand why you're having that problem.Statistics: Posted by Cristián Lávaque — August 12th, 2011, 11:42 am
