    I'm trying to get the trial version of aMember working. Maybe I'm going crazy, but when I goto API Access in my PayPal Sandbox, i'm given 2 options.
    1. Custom API Permission
    2. Request API Credentials

    1. askes me for a Partner API Username and 2 gives me credentials, but nothing to download anywhere. Is there something I'm missing here? Or has paypal changed things around.

    Thanks

    Got the Downloaded cert. Getting "Payment failed: You do not have permissions to make this API call"

    Hmmm. Should Instant Payment Notification (IPN) be "On"

    Also, 1 other Questions.

    Is there any way to hide and force the Credit Card option on the Member Profile Page? I'd like to make paypal transparant in the process and just offer CC.

    Hello

    I do not know the anwer but I have had problems with PP sandbox before. I think PP approach to using the sandbox is not easy to figure out. When I use PP I want the people to know up front unless I am using the pro version than you have to give them an option to use the PP button

    If we use the pro version we have to give them the paypal option? really? we can't push them to use a CC? Can you point me to documentation on that?

    Perhaps I should be looking into other options instead of paypal.

    I have read this in PayPal Pro interface description. You may ask PayPal support if you don't trust me.
