How Does The Payment System Work?
I have installed UNA and begun initial config. In the Studio backend, I have setup:
PAYMENTS: Single Seller Mode, Paypal Provider only
DONATION: and setup a Donation ($5 p/m ) to initially test.
This is for the most basic system I can get my head around as I am new to UNA.
When I go to the front end and chose the monthly option, I get the error: The vendor does not accept payments.
There's a Shopping Cart on the front end with Checkout and Payment History.
In the front end User Profile, settings area, theres a Payments Menu Item that has a Payment Details option for Paypal - Then theres settings for the User to take payments, having to have the Paypal Live/Sandbox setup? This is the first problem, other than the The vendor does not accept payments error. I want the Site Admin to be able to take donations only. The User shouldn't have the paypal Live settings as I don't want the users to be able to sell anything from the site.
I just dont get how this is supposed to work, but suspect it uses the same thought as dolphin dit. And I never really understood that either.
So I really have two questions. The first I will try to solve after posting this. The second I'm just not sure about.
1: How do I get rid of the Users ability to be able to add payment details for paypal. They will never need this in my site.
2: How do I set the option for the admin to be able to accept payments.
3: Is the Donate button supposed to provide donations to the Administrator? Or the profile the user is visiting?
Apologies., I have checked the documentation and there seems very little about this.
Thanks for any guidance on this.
PS: Bear in mind that I may at a later date add a paid subscription option.
ADDITIONAL: I managed to set the Payment Setting in the users profiles settings to just show for the Administrator. And a paid level. And now presume that the paypal setting need to be setup for the administrator before he can accept payments for either Donations or a Member Level?

Hi, I managed to get this working. I just changed to the Paypal API payment and it worked fine. Not sure if there should be, but there doesnt seem to be any record/report of the users donation in the admin side, or in the users side. Although I a still looking

Hello @Stephen Hawkins !
For this point "as I don't want the users to be able to sell anything from the site." I guess the Credits mod will be useful https://unacms.com/view-product/credits
Here for example our users share their thoughts about better ways to work with:
