I want to have recurring payments and I don't want my members to have to sign up for a Paypal account. I got everything set up and working with Paypal standard, only to discover the bit about the member having to sign up for a Paypal account for recurring payments to work. Definitely not what I want, so ...to solve my problem it seems like an easy solution would be: Paypal Pro $30/month Paypal Pro recurring payments $30/month amemberpro Paypal Pro plug-in Is this correct so far? Now the only question remaining is the one of PCI Compliance. I downloaded the Paypal Payment Compliance ebook and for level 4 (less than 20,000 transactions/year) it says you need to follow their 12 security standards, do an annual self assessment questionnaire and have a quarterly network scan by an independent scan vendor. But if Paypal has all the credit card information and none of it is on my system, does this really apply? Am I missing any other pieces to this puzzle? I want to make sure I understand all the components before I take the leap. Thanks for your help.
Yes you still need to apply this, because in case of Paypal PRO direct payments, CC info will be taken on your site. So your system needs to be secure.
