Here is today’s question.

I was installing the Buy Me a Beer plugin on my blog. It looked great but when i clicked on it to test it it gave me the following error on the PayPal page. “The seller accepts encrypted website payments only. You cannot pay the seller through un-encrypted buttons. Please contact your seller for more details.”

Mike what do I need to do to correct this?

This is actually easy to fix. Log in to your Paypal account. Click profile. Click Website Payment Preferences in the section under Selling Preferrences. On a US account and I do know that some of the text is different for different areas you will scroll down to the section for encrypted website preferrences.

This should be set to off.

That should now allow you to use the buy me a beer plugin and accept unencrypted payments.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.
