Hello,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Technical Support Community.

You have a few options to be able to determine the card types. You can use the Standard Card Fields with PayPal Checkout, and PayPal will be able to determine the card type.

The other option is that you could code a script with your form that will auto determine the card type.

Card Starts with the following here are the card types:

• 4 = Visa
• 5 or 2 = MasterCard
• 6 = Discover
• 3 = Amex

Thank you,
