I am running 7.4.2 and I have not played with the built in subscription area. However, I have been using a private section that they have to use Paypal to subscribe to access. If I understand correctly I still have to update the permissions for each member to the group. The problem I am having is Paypal dropping some of the cards after 4 to 6 months for no apparent reason. Just looking for any examples of anyone who has started using the subscription area with success. Also are there any plans to be able to use a different payment method besides Paypal. I have a couple merchant accounts but I don't think either are compatible.
