Normally I take the high road & do not reply to inflammatory comments within a forum but being that all but one of my individual comments that you decided to break down and reply to in an inflammatory manner were dead wrong, it is only fair to others that might be interested in this topic, or considering following your advice, should be aware that although you pretend to come across as a someone very knowledgeable on these issues, you clearly are not.
Wow! There’s so much disinformation here that it’s hard to know where to begin. So let’s try starting with your direct question. While I am not part of the development team for s2Member, I think it’s pretty clear that support for PayPal Advanced won’t be coming.
You were clearly wrong as shown in my original reply with a link a supporting evidence. I concede to the sole comment that you made that seemed accurate; I likely misunderstood the fact that CC info is stored on my site with the fact it can be compromised if the security settings on site aren’t configured properly using PP Pro.. something beyond my capabilities and which is an additional expense to for a highly qualified & competent programmer to establish and maintain/update).
Well, s/he was obviously not so knowledgeable.
As if it weren’t obvious from my initial post, I am far from a “techxpert” & I stand corrected on that point of CC info stored on my site. Being that you were wrong on every other statement you made after that last one makes the PayPal rep clearly more knowledgeable than you on these issues.
“I learned from PayPal that the Pro version required various configurations made to my site such HTTPS, SSL, for security purposes.”
HTTPS and SSL are the same thing!
I never said they weren’t the same thing, I simply added a comma between them. The cost of an SSL certificate which is required for PP Pro is part of my reluctance to use it although I plan to research this issue further. The exclamation mark you added was no more needed the the ‘Ha,ha!” in your previous response.
And you will need it installed, IRRESPECTIVE of the specific plugin you use to take payment, if you don’t redirect customers off-site.
Wrong & wrong again: 1) “Accept credit cards and PayPal directly on your website. Keep customers on your site for the entire checkout process without the full burden of protecting their financial data. In addition to a merchant account and gateway in one, PayPal provides you with a secure checkout template to integrate within your website. Your customers won’t know that we’re processing their payment, making your business look more secure and professional.” Source: PayPal
2) PayPal Payments Advanced DOES NOT require an SSL certificate. Google Search
In addition to being flat-out wrong on all but one of your comments, you made a claim but provided no supporting evidence that support for PP Advanced from the S2 development team is unlikely, simply your opinion. As I showed in my previous reply, the comments from the S2 team clearly contradict what you said. While you very well might be right, & they have since decided to no longer pursue supporting PP Advanced, I simply want to hear that from THEM.
On that last jab you took at me in your previous reply, very slowly simply try reading my first and last sentence of my original question to the S2 team where I clearly asked if & when support for PP Advanced would be added. The rest of that post was simply info that thought others might be interested in knowing, with one incorrect statement regarding CC info being stored on my site.
