 * I’ve added a paypal subscription button from WP Membership but it’s not working
   properly… I click it, follow the security prompts, then see this error message:
 * We’re sorry, things don’t appear to be working right now. Please try again later.
 * I’ve looked at previous posts to see if anything helps and have IPN enabled in
   my paypal account, but can’t understand what’s missing from the settings that
   I’ve filled out… Can someone help please?
 * I noticed you can create a link to advanced paypal settings but don’t understand
   whether it replaces the existing shortcode or not or what it actually does…
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpaypal-button-issue-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, please check the following instructions to make sure you set up PayPal subscription
   correctly.

 * Also, check to make sure you have the correct PayPal account. You need a PayPal
   Business account and not a PayPal Personal account.
 * Kind regards.

 * Thank you for your help. It looks like all my settings are correct and I have
   a business paypal account. So I’ve asked PayPal to activate the enhanced recurring
   billing service… Let’s see if that fixes the problem! 🙂
