Hi @highrise,

 

Thank you for contacting PayPal community.

 

Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

 

To receive guest checkout payments:

  1. Enable the PayPal Account Optional option in your account settings. 

    Login to PayPal.com > click on "Settings" icon > Account settings > Website payments >> Website preferences >> toggle option "PayPal account optional"

  2. Select On.

If you(i.e merchant) have implemented PayPal Express checkout integration, you can try (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ec-initiate-payment/) on your website.

I request to please contact your website developer (or) third-party shopping cart provider to pass the variables "SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole" and "LANDINGPAGE=BILLING" in the SetExpressCheckout API call to make sure guest checkout is offered as often as possible. 


Unfortunately, Guest payment checkout(i.e payment via credit/debit) is not applicable for every user. It's important to remember that guest checkout is not guaranteed for every transaction. PayPal runs a risk check to determine eligibility for guest checkout. There will be times when guest checkout is not available.

This is intended behavior of the product. Customer/buyer need to create PayPal account to process the payment.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

 

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi

PayPal, Inc.
