Multiple Paypal Accounts

[mattkitchen]

I want to offer a small monthly subscription and a larger yearly subscription. I want to use Paypal Micropayments for monthly fee and a normal paypal for my yearly fee. Unfortunately, in order to use Paypal Micropayments I had to create a separate account and i don't see a way to do 2 paypal accounts in s2Member. It's not the end of the world if I can't, but it would be losing like $0.15-$0.20 per transaction which would add up over time. Any thoughts? Thanks.

One way you could do it would be to get the buttons directly from Paypal for the micropayments and then set up the user manually.

However, I think you also need to look at the bigger picture. Even if you're losing $0.20 per transaction, what's YOUR time worth? The fact that S2 automates everything frees up the time you would have to spend dealing with the micro-payments and you can be doing much more productive things that will bring in a lot more than you'd be losing having 2 separate payment systems.

I agree with this comment. FYI: At some point in the future, we are going to get s2Member integrated with Micro payments, we're just not there yet. Hopefully late this year.
