    For a while now I have been successfully testing my amember payments using PayPal's sandbox. But now I want to go live and have removed the sandbox. On my first test, I got the following error from PayPal:

    The seller accepts encrypted website payments only. You cannot pay the seller through un-encrypted buttons. Please contact your seller for more details.

    Any ideas? Is there a PayPal setting I need to change in my account? I looked around but couldn't figure it out.

    Looks like you had an encrypted Paypal code somehwere for payments. Its a long code with a lot of characters in there.

    Please go to your PayPal account -> Profile -> "Website Payment Preferences", and set "Encrypted Website Payments" to "off". It does not violate any security - a dummy feature at all!
