    Im not sure if i get it right:

    I only have the paypal option to pay for a subscription on my site. But from what i understand people with a creditcard can pay with that option too?

    How does that work? How do i set it up? And how would the actual payment page look like.

    Can someone explain me if im right on how this works? And maybe show me an example of a good payment page so it doesnt look all confusing for someone that wants to pay with a CC and gets directed to paypal?

    THANKS!

    this depends on what paypal product you will use:
    Here is what is offered by paypal currently:
    1. PayPal WebSite payments standart - require paypal account for recurring payments (paypal_r plugin should be used in aMember). For not recurring payments paypal account is not required.
    2. Enhanced Payments - do not require paypal account, but costs additional fee and not supported for all merchants (works with paypal_r plugin by default when enabled in paypal account)
    3. Paypal express checkout - require paypal account for recurring payments, this is part of paypal_pro plugin.
    4. Paypal Direct Payment Recurring Payments - part of paypal_pro, do not require paypal account, and do not store CC info in aMember database, use PayPal reference transactions for this. Last costs $30 monthly for WebSite Payments PRO package and $30 monthly for DPRP

    Well i dont want recurring payments yet, maybe in the future.
    For now, i just want them to pay and they get access for a lifetime.

    Any idea how to do this? I would like them to either use their paypal account, or pay with creditcard.

    This should work by default as far as I know.
