    Hi Alex or anyone

    Currently I've set up all my different products (including recurring payments) to be handled by paypal.

    If I change paypal to another payment processor, say moneybookers, what will happen to existing recurring payments?

    1. Will they continue to work?
    2. If yes, I'm assuming they will continue to be handled via paypal?
    3. And if it is, will paypal communicate with amember telling amember that people have already paid, so please give them access for another month, and so forth?
    4. And what will happen to existing customers who are under a lifetime subscription? Will they continue to have access to the member area?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Skippybosco,

    Thanks for your reply.

    What happens if I use 2checkout instead of moneybookers?

    I read:
    http://www.amember.com/p/main/paysystems/

    that 2checkout has some limitations.

    Does that mean that for subscription billing I have to manually check which ones have paid and which ones have not and then manually activate or deactive them?

    Thanks,
    Welly

    No. payments will be activated automatically. but you will not be able to use coupons or taxes within amember.
