# REST API Required?

 * Hello, I am a big fan of your plugin. Up until the latest update, your plugin
   worked great with REST API disabled. Now with the latest version, it does not
   work with REST API disabled, giving the error: “REST API restricted to authenticated
   users.” This error happens when clicking any of the “Pay with Card” buttons provided
   by the plugin. Instead of going to checkout, it just displays the error.
 * Is there a way to use the plugin without relying on the REST API?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * No, the REST API is required to use WP Simple Pay.
