Hello.
I'm using nop 2.8 with PayPal standard. No problems with payment processing until now that I'm doing something new: recurring payments. I'm trying to test it.
I have setup a product variant to be a recurring product: cycle length 1, cycle period Days, Total cycles 3.
When a user is checking out to buy this recurring product, in step 4 of the checkout, "Payment Methods", they get a message that says "No payment methods available".
In Configuration > Payment Methods, I have Payments.PayPalStandard active. I see that there is no support for this system in the column "Recurring support".
However, Payments.PayPalDirect does have the support for it.
Is it correct that I need to use Payments.PayPalDirect? If so I would have the following followup questions:
1. What kind of account do I need from PayPal to use PayPalDirect? In other words, what do I ask/signup for?
2. Does PayPalDirect require an account type from PayPal that is for a monthly fee? I talked to them and they said that the basic service I have with them does support recurring payments as long as the customer is paying with PayPal ( no credit cards ).
3. If I setup PayPalDirect should I turn off PayPalStandard or keep both? I'm assuming that PayPalDirect is a better service that does everything that PayPalStandard does plus more. Is that right or is there some reason to keep PayPalStandard active?
Thanks in advance.
