Hi @Talin,
Thank you for contacting PayPal community.
Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
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 all users. 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.
