    I am in the process of starting a membership site. The options are a yearly and monthly subscription, they have access to the same web pages. I just set it up with Paypal pro and Amember, and ran my credit card through and it worked. - the $ is in my PP account, and I have access under my username to the membership area.

    I was told, I think, that I need a shopping cart too- but I don't know why. Would this only apply if I had more items for sale? Like if I also had an e-book for sale?


    Thank you for any help you can offer! I want to make sure this all works correctly before launching :)

    Shopping carts are useful if you you are selling many one off products.
