Title: VM Registration & Paypal
Post by: muffin on March 13, 2011, 16:13:40 PM
Hi,
I have a few questions.
I've got the "check out with paypal" option available in my shopping cart from new api system, but when a buyer clicks it, they get the message

Warning: curl_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/user/public_html/site/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/payment/paypal_api/CallerService.php on line 77

Can anyone help me?

Also, is it possible to eliminate the registration steps from my shop altogether and just have the paypal option exclusively?

Thanks

It means that CURL is disabled, so PayPal Express Checkout can not work. You should ask your hosting provider about CURL support for PHP.

Not completely, but if you go in VirtueMart -> Configuration -> Checkout you can adjust some settings.
