Note: You can use "Pay Pal Recurring Billing" and any other credit card processor at the same time no problem. But you HAVE to have "Pay Pal Recurring Billing" selected as the default.

Then when you wanted to use another credit card processor just add the following to the <form>

<input type="hidden" name="x_processor" value="2CheckOut -Recurring Billing">
<input type="hidden" name="x_login" value="xxxxx">

You cannot use another processor (including Pay Pal one off) with out these fields in the <form>.


Note: Because of Paypals setup you cannot use the Multiple usernames with PayPal -recurring billing. For each new recurring product the buyer must pick a new username / password. Please make this clear to your client if applicable.
