Hi!
Double-check guest checkout is enabled on your account. You can find this in 'Profile' > 'My selling tools' > 'Payment preferences' > Update.
Additionally, you'll need to include the following extra parameter in your SetExpressCheckout API call: "SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole".
If this didn't resolve it, feel free to open a ticket at the address in my signature.
For technical assistance with PayPal merchant product offerings, please file a ticket at https://www.paypal.com/mts/

Hey there RobG!.. Thanks for reply.
Listen, my webstore is E-commerce with integrated Paypal (wich is fancy for: "put your Paypal email here"), so the shooping cart only requires me to put my Paypal e-mail in the set up for payment check out, so it passes control to Paypal check out domain(page), so API call: "SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole" does not apply here right?..... that is for customized shooping carts (wich you can integrate code to them).
I just want Express-check out to be enabled on my Paypal (Paypal-check out-domain-page, not shooping cart)
My third party E-commerce webstore:
My Webstore: (Direct link)
Proof: (Pictures of my Paypal Settings)
E-commerce Software Paypal Settings: (the only section for payments and checkout in this E-commerce solution, as you can see, it only asks for my Paypal e-mail and return link)
More Paypal Options:
Everything is in order.... right?...
Thanks for your precious time RobG
HELP! PLEASE! lol

Hi 3Digital,
The SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole would need to be passed by the E-commerce solution you are using so it would apply to any shopping cart or website using PayPal Express Checkout. If adding custom API calls to your shopping cart isn't possible, you may need to contact your E-commerce provider to see if they can add that option on their end.
Alternatively, you could see if the shopping cart supports PayPal Payments Standard instead of Express Checkout.

Hi Frank!, thanks for your reply.
Got it Frank! I called my E-commerce support and they clarify that they don't have Express coded into the software yet, but will in the future, but now I think I'm confused... Frank, is Paypal Express Checkout the same as Paypal Account Optional?.....
I want people to check out without logging in to paypal or creating an account, AKA: Paypal Account Optional
Thanks Rob and Frank for your support.

PayPal Express Checkout is an API based checkout where buyers would be redirected to PayPal to authorize the payment. PayPal would then redirect the buyer back to the seller's checkout to complete the purchase.
In contrast, there is PayPal Payments Standard which is our standard checkout based on PayPal buttons and browser redirects to the PayPal website. The customer is redirected to PayPal and completes checkout on the PayPal website.
PayPal Account Optional refers to the ability for buyers to use these checkouts without needing a full PayPal account. It may also be referred to as Guest Checkout. This just refers to that guest checkout feature for those checkouts.
It sounds like your e-commerce solution might be using PayPal Payments Standard so the SolutionType would not be used. As long as that PayPal Account Optional setting is turned on in your profile, the Guest checkout option will appear for buyers eligible to use the feature.
If the guest checkout option still doesn't appear, please let me know.

Hi 3Digital,
No worries, your english is great! 🙂
The pictures you provided don't show the PayPal checkout. Perhaps you are looking for this setting in your shopping cart? It would look like this:
It appears to be working for me so if it's not appearing then it could be due to something else on your PayPal account.
If you think this is a technical issue with PayPal, I would recommend filing a ticket with our Merchant Technical Support.

First of all, thanks!, your very kind to keep trying to help me, appreciated.

Here's how it looks for me: (and yes!, Paypa laccount optional is on on my settings)
Frank, I already tried support phone line, and they did not understood my problem, they thought it was the API Credentials and blame the problem on my E-commerce solution: Freewebstore.org

I would guess that it is the e-commerce solution as well or it could also happen if you are testing from a country that is not eligible for guest checkout.
You can find out if this is the e-commerce solution by creating a test PayPal button and checking if the option appears. If it does, then we know it's the e-commerce solution. If the option does not appear, then I would guess it's due to a country restriction.
It's also possible that this could be caused by an unconfirmed email address on your PayPal account or if the PayPal account is not Verified.
