    If you click “buy and download now” and try to checkout via paypal, it will come back with the error:

    Error: To complete this payment, please login to your account.

    I have searched the docs and it seems you’ve had this ‘bug’ in past ones also, but no real fix. I am not using the ‘Recurring Payments’ plugin.

    And here is my current plugin system data:

  • Hi @datawebp

    Thanks for the detailed response.

    As per your error message it looks like “Require Login” setting option is enabled from Plugin Settings > Misc (Tab) > Checkout (Sub Tab).

    Please refer below screenshot so you will be more cleared.
    https://prntscr.com/w4f6zt

    Kindly uncheck “Require Login” checkbox and try again. I hope this will work for you.

    I’m experiencing the same problem. I’m using Kinsta (PHP7.4) and the latest WordPress version.

    The ‘require login setting is disabled. I’ve also deactivated all other plugins.

    There are no errors in the log.

    Hi @dannycooper

    Have you checked the above settings as suggested in provided screenshot.

    Kindly uncheck “Require Login” checkbox and try again. I hope this will work for you.

    Hey @dannycooper, it’s possible an account already exists. Please review this doc to confirm you haven’t hit one of these scenarios: https://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/1926-login-to-complete-payment

    Because there have not been any recent updates to this topic we’ll be changing the status to resolved. If you have any further questions you can start a new thread or head over to our support page to submit your request if it is related to one of our available extensions

    I’ve got this problem too. our WordPress install does NOT allow the public to create accounts (it’s a publication), so this is a HUGE problem. This means our most faithful readers sometimes cannot buy downloads.

    @dgoldak I reviewed the link you provided, which identifies it as a known problem, with no solution. This is the most galling part: “This proves to the system that the rightful owner of that particular purchase record is completing the purchase.” We don’t want this kind of security, nor does it seem particularly useful. Since this security is often disabled (in your example, 10 times out of 10), why is it even in there? Can we get an option to turn it off?

    Mihai, Pratik, your suggestion about unchecking “require login” is unhelpful — it is already unchecked on my installation, just as with the others.

    Actually, now I’m testing it by changing the email to random fake emails, and I’m still getting the “please login to your account” prompt, even after closing one incognito browser window and launching a new incognito window. This is terrible.

    Shopping for a replacement plugin now!

    @scrybbler Can you please provide a link to your site so we can try your checkout?
