Users going straight to paypal

    I am using the unlimited enterprise version, and using the wpsc Membership Pro plugin to sell a monthly service.

    My problem is that when a user is viewing a product, there is no button to place it in the cart, only a “Buy now” button. As soon as the user presses the Buy Now button they go straight to paypal. I would like them to stay on the page, or go to their cart to review their purchase before being sent off to pay.

    I have a checkout page, which is set in the general options with the shortcode [wpstorecart display=checkout] in the checkout page.

    In the display settings, under buttons, I have “Clicking on Add to Cart redirects to checkout?” set to no, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference what it is set to. They always go straight to paypal.

    In the Customers settings, I have Required Registration set to Yes, but guests are never asked to register. They too go straight to paypal.

    I could use a hand with this one.

    Thank you.

    Neither the main wpStoreCart plugin, nor the premium addon wpsc Membership PRO use PayPal Express, which is about the only official way I know of to combine non-recurring payments with recurring payments.

    With that said, a PayPal Express Checkout payment gateway could be written using the Payment Provider API:
    https://wpstorecart.com/documentation/wpstorecart-3/developers-api/payment-gateway-api/

    and then a new version of wpsc Membership PRO could be written to also utilize Express, following this documentation to combine both payment types:

    Thank you for such a quich reply, but I’m still a little confused.

    Is the reason people can’t put items into their cart without going straight to paypal because I’m using Paypal, or because it’s a recurring payment? It would be nice to let people put other items in their cart, or at least review their purchase before being sent to paypal.

    You can see this in action at https://nuggetweb.com – just stop before paypal asks you to confirm since the site is live.

    Also, it seems as though it should still require users to register before they purchase the product. At least that’s how I understood how the customer settings were supposed to work.

    The issue is that neither wpStoreCart nor wpsc Membership PRO use PayPal Express. A new payment gateway would have to be written for wpStoreCart that used PayPal Express Checkout API. In addition, a new Membership plugin would also need to be created, which also utilized PayPal Express Checkout API. Apart from that, there is no other way to combine recurring payments with non-recurring payments.

    wpsc Membership PRO cannot utilize a cart because it uses PayPal’s standard recurring API. If a new version were to be written with PayPal Express Checkout API, as well as a new payment gateway written for wpStoreCart that also utilized PayPal Express Checkout, then up to 10 recurring subscriptions could be added to a cart, as well as non-recurring products.

    Got it! Thanks for explaining that to me.

    One last question… if we have an SSL cert, and authorize.net, will this work the way I need it to with recurring payments?

    Thank you for all of your time, and I promise that’s all. ??

    Unfortunately, right now we only offer Authorize.NET SIM integration. What you would need is Authorize.NET ARB integration. You can roll your own solution following our API documentation here:
    https://wpstorecart.com/documentation/wpstorecart-3/developers-api/payment-gateway-api/

    Alternatively you can hire a coder to create the Authorize.NET ARB integration, and of course, we are available for custom projects as well.
