Hey,

I have to set up a business account becasue I'm going to be accecpting payments for a ltd company...

When I go through to PayPal I get the choice of the following account types:

Website Payments Standard
Website Payments Pro
Virtual Terminal
PayPal as an additional payment option
email Payments
PayPal for your eBay shop

Which one of these options will work with your plug-in?

Bit confused...

Thanks :)

Thanks for the great question.
~ Very sorry for the delayed response on my part.

This plugin works in conjunction with PayPal® Website Payments Standard, for businesses. You do NOT need a PayPal® Pro account. You just need to upgrade your Personal PayPal® account to a Business status, which is free. A PayPal® account can be upgraded from a Personal account to a Business account, simply by going to the `Profile` button under the `My Account` tab, selecting the `Personal Business Information` button, and then clicking the `Upgrade Your Account` button.

Now, if you purchase the s2Member Pro ( add-on )
*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 a 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 ).
