    I just installed the PayPal Pro payment plug-in and, on the Credit Card Info page, it requires Phone information. We only sell downloadable products.
    Here are may questions:
    - is this field mandatory for plug-in (PayPal)?
    - If not, can you give instructions on how to remove it?

    One cosmetic thing, where can I change the lable ZIP on this form to Postal Code/ZIP?

    Thank you.

    Are you using paypal_r?
    In paypal, website payment preferences:
    Contact Telephone Number
    When you activate this option, your customers will be asked to include a Contact Telephone Number with their payment information

    Turn off?

    edit-
    Oh sorry just saw that you are using paypal pro. Ignore above then...

    in the amember language file, amember/language/en.php
    define ('_TPL_SIGNUP_ZIP', 'ZIP');

    Phone is optional so you can remove it. Edit /amember/plugins/payment/paypal_pro/paypal_pro.inc.php and in function get_plugin_features(){
    remove this line:
    'phone' => 1,

    Thank you, that clarifies.
    Last question... In many places in this forum I found that, when using paypal_pro and setting recurring billing, the credit card information IS NOT stored in aMember. However, after enabling paypal_pro and login on the back end, I got the disclaimer below. Could you please clarify this very important point?

    "Enabling recurring billing with these credit card plugins will result in active customers' credit card info (excluding CVV2 code, which is never saved) being stored in your MySQL database. (if you do not enable recurring billing in product settings, no credit card info will be stored)."

    Yes paypal_pro plugin does not store CC info in aMember database for recurring billing.
    Above notice just displayed for all similar plugins(based on cc_core plugin), but it is not valid for paypal_pro.
    So, paypal_pro plugin will take CC info on your site (so SSL cert required still) but info will not be stored in aMember database.
