Is it possible to use s2member pro without having a paypal pro account? I would just like to utilize the forms and use paypal...plus gain membership user information with the forms. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Do I have to use PayPal® Pro?
No.
s2Member is very flexible. Even with the Pro Module installed, you don't have to use PayPal® Pro integration. Just don't generate any PayPal® Pro Forms. Instead, you could use Standard PayPal® Buttons, AliPay®, ClickBank®, ccBill®, Authorize.Net®, or Google® Checkout if you prefer ( you could even use them all together at the same time ).
Alternatively, s2Member Pro can be integrated without a PayPal® Pro account, whereby the enhanced Form Shortcodes that it provides can be integrated ONLY with PayPal® Express Checkout. In other words, if you get declined for PayPal® Pro service, you can still use s2Member Pro Forms by following these instructions:
Step #1. Ask PayPal® to activate Express Checkout for you. ( free )
Express Checkout will give you API Credentials, and you'll enter these into: s2Member -> PayPal Options.
Step #2. In the Shortcodes provided by s2Member Pro... change this: accept_via_paypal="paypal" to this instead: accept_via_paypal="paypal,visa,mastercard,amex,discover,maestro,solo".

It doesn't work with my pro installation. I have enabled express checkout paypal account. It works with buttons but it doesn't work with pro forms. I entered all api credentials, changed same as like in step 2 but no success. My url is
