[DUG-TO] Ubercart and Paypal??

[Modya]

Lynna,

Thanks. It seems from Paypal that they don't support subscriptions
without having a Paypal account. The "Paypal Account Optional" setting
says "When PayPal Account Optional is turned on, your customers who are
new to PayPal will no longer be required to create a PayPal account to
complete a purchase-they will go through an alternate checkout, and will
have the option to sign up afterward. Customers who already have PayPal
accounts will continue to enjoy the privileges of those accounts, such
as payment history and integration with eBay Auctions, and their
checkout experience will remain the same.

This feature is available for Buy Now, Donations, and Shopping Cart
buttons, but not for Subscription buttons."

Have you ever set up an UberCart with Paypal?

Thanks,

Modya

That's something I'm pretty sure you have to adjust in your PayPal
profile settings - I think it's under Website Payment Preferences but I
can't recall for sure. I don't think it's under Ubercart's control.
