Paypal Sandbox requiring me to set up a Paypal account?

[jgold723]

I have a developer account and I've set up sandbox accounts to test buttons. I've created a test button and it works, except that when I checkout (in the sandbox) and use the credit card option, Paypal is requiring me to create another Paypal account (after I've entered the payment information). What's going on here?

Hello,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Sandbox Community.
There are several reasons why Guest Checkout may not display:

• Email address not confirmed
• Recurring Payment
• Express Checkout Payment where solutiontype=sole is missing
• The wrong account API is being used

If you still are having issues with Guest Checkout, please comment the merchant id for the sandbox account and I will review the logs.

Thank you,

Jennifer
