Re: Error connecting to PayPal

Hi Dana. Just a wild guess, but do you have the CKEditor plugin installed? I ask because this error is caused by a corrupted Shortcode. It was really hard to track down, because the error at PayPal is stating the obvious. It says, ( does not accept payments in "USD" ), but what is actually means, is that it does not accept payments in

Code:: "USD"

Those HTML entities get corrupted in your Shortcode by editors such as the CKEditor, or another non-standardized editor for WP that does not respect Shortcodes.

Now I get this error: This recipient does not accept payments denominated in "USD". Please contact the seller and ask him to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency.

I have checked paypal and it's set to all, but main is USD and I don't see the paypal button at all.

You can see here:
http://ynpnnyc.org/member-benefits/

This is the code I copied and pasted: [s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Annual Membership" ps="YNPNNYC" cc="USD" custom="ynpnnyc.org" tp="0" tt="D" ra="25.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" image="default" /]

Any thoughts.

Dana

Hi Jason,

I can use the shortcode and try, but can I change the paypal button and have it be the subscribe button? If so, how?

Thanks,

Dana

Are you using the Full Button Code, or the Shortcode Format? If you're using the Full Button Code, it's probably getting corrupted. Please use the Shortcode Format, intended for the WordPress® Visual & HTML Editors.

Error connecting to PayPal

2010-05-18T13:32:45-05:00

Hi,

I can't seem to get the connection to PayPal, right. It worked before and now it works sometimes if I use Firefox, but get this message when using Explorer or Chrome. Any thoughts.

If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.

If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don't use your browser's Back button) and restart your activity.

If you came from PayPal's website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again.

Also, it hasn't been recording previous subscriptions on WP. I am using WP 2.9 & most updated version of s2Member.

Dana
