I've sent a PayPal invoice to a customer with a "pay" button so they can pay with their credit card. The customer does not want a PayPal account. They claim that they are prompted to set up a PayPal account. Do they have to set up a PayPal account to pay with a credit card? Is there a way around this?
Also have this issue. According to PayPal support this applies to all merchants invoices now due to some Austrac requirement. Payments by credit card are no longer accepted. ie a PayPal account is required. However the customer isn't told this -- they are given the choice to pay with a credit card but when they try the payment just fails with a message "Things don't appear to be working right now.". This started happening in October. PayPal admit they have not advised Australian merchants of this yet and it is not documented anywhere. Unbelievable really -- invoices just started failing without warning.
