Hi. I have created a Pay Now button on my web-site. Yet, even though I have done everything I know to allow the option of paying directly with a credit/debit card, when I test my site as a new visitor, I STILL am forced to create a PayPal account or log in to PayPal to complete the transaction. I have deleted all my cookies, temp files, everything ... then closed and re-opend my browser, and I STILL do NOT have the (apparent/visible) option of paying directly with a credit/debit card. I can only imagine that the visitors to my site will experience the same frustrating thing, which I don't want to happen. Furthermore, I have turned on the option to pay with credit/debit cards in my standard business account. So, theoretically, having done all this, a visitor to my site should not be forced to create a PayPal account, right? Can someone please provide some further advice and help? I would be very appreciative of any advice that can dispensed. Thank you! ... View more
