s2Member pro still leaving my site and going to Paypal

[Roblg46]

I upgraded to s2Member Pro - and Paypal pro. Configured a button. When I click on the button it brings me to Paypal.

Why is this happening? I thought, with the purchase of the Pro versions of each, that users would not be leaving my site?

Thanks!

I don't have pro so I'm not sure what it looks like, but I don't think you create buttons like normal. You should be able to integrate it into a page or something.

Found this on the FAQ page...

What type of PayPal® account do I need?

The s2Member Pro Module makes it possible for s2Member to use PayPal® Pro Forms ( instead of standard PayPal® Buttons ). PayPal® Pro Forms integrate seamlessly with WordPress® Shortcodes. This allows you to keep Customers on your site at all times, and it consolidates the Checkout / Registration steps into a single form that you can dress up just the way you like. If you would like to take advantage of 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 your 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 ). Once you've got your API Credentials, come back and paste them into the fields provided by s2Member. See: s2Member -> PayPal® Options -> Account Details.

If you plan to use any of the ( Subscription ) options in the s2Member Form Generator for PayPal® Pro, you will ALSO need Recurring Billing enabled for your PayPal® Pro account. PayPal's Recurring Billing service for Pro accounts is required for all types of ( Subscriptions ), whether you intend for them to be recurring or not. However, it is NOT required for ( Buy Now ) functionality. The drop-down menus in the s2Member Form Generator, have been marked ( Subscription ) and ( Buy Now ) just for this reason. See: s2Member -> PayPal® Pro Forms. This way you can see which options will require the use of PayPal's Recurring Billing service. PayPal® will charge you a small monthly fee for their Recurring Billing service; which is an add-on for PayPal® Pro accounts.

Hey there,
Thank you for the response.
I did all that......created the button. The problem is when I click the button it leaves my site and brings me to Paypal.com - which it's not supposed to. The s2Member Pro, with Paypal Pro, is supposed to leave customers on my site, not redirect them to Paypal.

Any ideas?

PayPal Pro uses forms though, not buttons.

[Roblg46]

So I have to use the PayPal Pro Forms within the plugin - not the buttons? Why does it still list the buttons as an option?

When I create the form - it's making me then create a profile.......I'm assuming there is a way to not need a profile?

I just want someone to be able to come to my site, do a buy it now, and enter their credit card information (for now)....but it does look like I need to use forms.

Thanks for your help!

Still - using the PayPal forms - but it's still bringing me to Paypal.com to complete the purchase!

Is there a manual anywhere?

Check out this link....

I think the guide is in the plugin itself, (PayPal Pro Forms > Quick-Start Guide For PayPal Pro Integration)

Thank you again!

This is good information - and certainly more than I could find - unfortunately there is nothing that I can find, anywhere, that tells me why I'm still being redirected off of my site to Paypal.com to complete a payment.

I've sent a message to Primo support but haven't heard back from them.
