PayPal, Can’t do API certs and Sigs at the same time
Spreedly needs API certs with PayPal.
However we use API Sigs to do our current PayPal recurring process.
And you can’t have both: http://www.pdncommunity.com/pdn/board...
So the questions are
1) How soon are you to implementing PayPal recurring Payments
2) If it’s going to be a while, can you accept API Sigs as an options as well as CERTs?

I’m full of anti-paypal rage

Inappropriate?I'm actually at the PayPal conference and will ask them about this tomorrow. Maybe it's not a hard and fast limitation. We can hope.
I'll follow up by week's end.7 Comments

From my chats with PaPal you can’t have both. Is their any reason you picked certs of sigs? -
The underlying payment gateway framework we're using (ActiveMerchant) uses certificates. Unfortunately, that means it will be a lot of work for us to support signatures since we'd have to hack the option into ActiveMerchant.
Not sure how we can help you solve this problem besides rolling out PayPal recurring (which is in progress but could still be a month or two down the road) - any ideas? -
NT, thanks for that. Not the answer I was hoping for but at least I know where we stand.
The only other solution is either to wait for you to implement PP recurring payments (which looks like it will be a while yet) or to set up a different gateway.
What would you recommend as a quick gateway to set up from the UK that is supported by spreedly? -
I'm not sure how quick it is, but the main UK gateway we currently support is SagePay. The other option would be Realex, which we don't support yet but could add support for quickly if you got us test credentials.
-
We’ll look at SagePay. Think it would be quicker to get approved as to for you to integrate a new gateway.
-
Do you know what product we need from Sage, we’re giving them a quick call.
-
Never mind, we’ve got the answer.

Inappropriate?Ok we’ve had to turn off Spreedly annoying (as it was working great) so we can re-enable PP, as all our PayPal stuff was failing and we have 500 users on that.
We’re working with PP and also trying to get a Sage account. But this might take a week or two.
Hopefully we wont have any of the paid users on spree trying to upgrade whilst we get the second account.
So frustrating as I should have checked this first, and paypal is really annoying with this. and we really want to enable credit cards.
I’m rather angry towards banks and paypal. It shouldn’t be this damn hard

You need to get up with Anthony - he told me today that there's a way around this limitation (though I don't know the details).

Thanks, I’ve dropped him a mail.
