I have a website and have paypal connected for clients to purchase with using paypal.
I received an email form the site i am with saying the following
You’re currently unable to accept recurring payments with PayPal. |
I do not have any subscriptions .
are my clients still able to purchase through paypal and will i receive the money or is this in general? not subscribtions.
I have not received any notifications or emails from paypal and can not figure out why i got this messgae.
i have checked and everything is ok with the site it seems to be form paypals side.
