PAYMENT USING CREDIT - PAYMENT PAYPAL OPTIONAL

[gl187]

We have opened a business account with PayPal, in view for clients of book travel services - namely Transfers & Tours through our website platform.

We have set in our profile when we created the account that PayPal flag to be optional.  So we can give our clients the option to either pay through his PayPal account, OR use his credit/Debit card directly 

As we are under the final stages to upload our website, and running some tests, we have noticed that when a prospect client enters the option to pay there are two options that appear 

First Options: to create a PayPal account

Second Option: to pay via Credit or Dept card with OPTIONAL to create a PayPal account.

Whoever, it is not clear why in some cases to complete the second option (Pay via Credit/Debit card) it is Mandatory to CREAT a PayPal account

Looking forward to your explanation, and how we can resolve this issue.

Are you using Express Checkout or Payments Standard ?

(If Express Checkout - this product requires a PayPal Account.)

We used the HTML code when we created the Pay now button (It should be a Standard checkout) Could you give us an example that illustrates the differences between Standard and Express Checkout html code for the buttons that we create ? A sample of the HTML code that we use is the following &lt;form action="<a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="_blank">https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr</a>" method="post" target="_top"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="business" value="the email we use"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="KC7ZAHFQEUXSY"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="landing_page" value="billing"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Service"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" id="amount" name="amount" value="0.05"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" id="first_name" name="first_name" value=""&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" id="last_name" name="last_name" value=""&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="return" value="<a href="http://OUR SITE/booking-payment-confirmation.html" target="_blank">http://OUR SITE/booking-payment-confirmation.html</a>"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="cancel" value="<a href="http://OUR SITE/booking-payment-rejection.html" target="_blank">http://OUR SITE/booking-payment-rejection.html</a>"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="our email"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="services"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="EUR"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest"&gt; &lt;input type="image" src="images/Paypal/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" style="margin-left:60px;background-color: inherit"&gt; &lt;img alt="" border="0" src="<a href="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" target="_blank">https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif</a>" width="1" height="1"&gt; &lt;/form&gt;
