    Paypal Pro Plugin No Working

    I have been asking for the Paypal Plugin since Dec 08, I ask for an update every couple weeks, and have a bad feeling we are at the bottom of the list and losing huge potential money every day by not havng Paypal Pro running.

    *Alex* Please have your team spend some time on this and get it running for us loyal customers waiting for you to pull through on this.

    Thanks
    Chris

    I would have hoped that this would be working by now. Alex, is there a solid ETA on when this might be available?

    Any updates on this?

    What will be the major difference between recurring billing in paypal_r -vs- paypal_pro?

    I'm assuming that if we are using the paypal_pro plugin the user won't be required to create a account on paypal?

    As it is with paypal_r to do recurring billing the user needs to signup for paypal. I don't know how many sales I'm loosing at this step, but I'm sure its significant. So if the new paypal_pro plugin would eliminate that, please make it a top priority!

    Just realized paypal_pro is only valid for companies or individuals in the USA. :mad::mad::mad:

    Paypal Pro Plugin almost Ready

    Alex told me it would be ready at the end of this month, Said that on the 20th. I just send a support ticket to more of an update for us.

    Paypal pro works for both Canadian and US people if that helps Ejovi? Im canadian and got it.

    As for losing sales with paypal-r, its huge. I lose 2-3 subscribers per day because of it. I just totaled up all my pending accounts which refused to open a paypal account is is over 176 members at $79 a pop is really pissing me off. I put my phone number and an offline payment option, now I get mostly everyone but I have to update the biling every month to charge everyone manually its crap! Cant wait to enter them all into paypal pro and it will do it automatically.

    We need paypal pro recurring billing functionality as well

    We also need this feature. I'm also adding my voice/vote so that Alex know there are a lot of people needing this.

    Recurring Paypal_pro and fraud settings

    Just a heads up.

    Your paypal_pro recurring payments MAY NOT work even if the amember plugin does.

    The default PAYPAL fraud settings for Paypal_pro recurring payments require that the billing system re-transmit the ccv code every time the card is to be charged.

    If you don't have the extended (extra cost) fraud controls from paypal and remove this requirement you probably won't be able to use the plugin.

    The reason (I'm pretty sure on this but may be different for your country) is that in North America you are not allowed to store your clients ccv codes in your database.

    the result is that the first payment will go thru but when amember attempts to rebill it will be missing the ccv and the payment will fail.

    If you pay the extra $30 for advanced fraud controls on you paypal_pro account you can set YOUR ACCOUNTS fraud controls so that the CCV number is NOT REQUIRED for any attempted charges after the first billing.

    All I'm saying is check with PAYPAL about YOUR account before you get your hopes up.

    James,
    Plugin will work different way then default cc_core based plugins.
    It will not resubmit transactions for recurring payments. When user will signup first time plugin will create Recurring Billing Profile at paypal, so CC info will not be stored in aMember at all.

    thanks on your work and update on this, alexander....I thought I understood how recurring works with PayPal and ccv's as you described but it's nice to hear confirmation. I've been looking forward to this one for awhile but definitely appreciate the extra testing involved here; I could see this causing a lot of headaches if it's not fleshed out well.

    Hi guys,
    Plugin will be available at Sunday, August 30.
    If you interested in it before next version release, please send request to support@cgi-central.net with subject:

    ** for Alexander Smith - PayPal Pro plugin request **

    Plugin was well tested, but anyway, if you have live system, I recommend to wait for next aMember PRO release.
    Plugin was tested with latest aMember 3.1.8 but should work for all old versions that have old paypal_pro plugin.

    Plugin supports both ExpressCheckout and DirectPayments, with both methods CC info will not be stored in aMember database.


    This plugin require both WebSitePaymetns PRO and Paypal PRO Recurring payments to be enabled in your paypal account.

    "Paypal PRO Recurring payments" functionality required to create recurring subscriptions for DirectPayments (when user specify CC info in aMember)

    As old plugin, this one works with API signature, and we don't plan to create plugin that will work with API cert.

    Plugin make these API requests so you should enable this in API access section in your paypal account for API user:
    SetExpressCheckout
    GetExpressCheckoutDetails
    DoExpressCheckoutPayment
    DoVoid
    CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile
    DoDirectPayment
    ManageRecurringPaymentsProfileStatus
    UpdateRecurringPaymentsProfile
