    I have a user who has signed up to a subscription service, and made payment via PayPal using an "echeque".

    These Paypal e-cheques take 3-5 days to clear, and for the funds to actually show up in my paypal account. So before this has been confirmed I have no idea if the new subscriber is good for the money or not, and as such they have not yet actually paid.

    However aMember still recognizes the user as having paid, and therefore activates their account. Although they have not technically completed payment.

    Is there a way to fix this on aMember side?

    please see a coupl eof attachments fyi.
    Thanx in advance :)

    If you check the new members account in aMember admin what does it give as the status?

    It shows the of having made 1 payment and Status=Active.

    Perhaps the Paypal Plugin needs to be modified by Alex and the team to check if a payment in paypal has been recieved or not in the case of E-cheques..

    Yeah, I think alex has a modified version of the plugin that makes these users future, or pending till the payment clears. Send in a tech support ticket.

    FYI- 90% of these users pay on my sites, so it may not be worth upsetting the 90% for the 10% who dont pay.
