PayPal Charity Status?

If I upgrade my PayPal Standard Business profile to a Charity 503©(3) status, will that affect any of my existing subscription buttons?

Hi Jerry,

I’m not familiar with that account type. You could ask paypal if you can still use the PayPal Standard buttons to get payments (or Express Checkout if you have s2Member Pro).

From the screenshots they seem to be using another PayPal service for the charity payments (maybe Checkout?), so it’s possible that s2 won’t work with that part. Can’t say for sure without having a Charity account to test it.

Just following up for those who may also be considering this. I spoke to PayPal customer support, and a Nonprofit account is a sub-type of the standard Business account, so all existing BUY NOW buttons should continue to work as nothing changes on the backend of the account. It just gives you better transaction/processing fees.
