    I'm trying to figure out how this works. When someone subscribes to my membership site (recurring billing) but they choose to use CC/bank account without logging into Paypal. Will they still be billed recurring and how do they cancel?

    Otherwise, I will need to turn off the option to use CC, and make the site Paypal only (not good).

    Edit: just read this on Paypal.com
    "Can a customer without a PayPal account still pay for recurring payments with a credit card?
    * Yes, if you offer both Website Payments Pro and recurring payments."

    Sux because I don't want to pay for Website Pmts Pro, but is it worth it?

    Currently this can be done only if you will use paypal pro with recurring billing support.
    With paypal_r plugin usjer's will not be able to signup for recurring membership without paypal account .

    That's interesting because people can still click on the link "Pay with CC or bank account" without signing in, and it looks as if it will accept their payment and grant access (couldnt sandbox test this). But I see now apparently they would never be rebilled/renewed correctly. Luckily I checked this before the site went live.
