account address browser button buy buyer cart check checkout chosen clear computer cookie cookies create default direct directed email figured fix logged login offer offered option optional payment paypal previous public purchase reply required setting setup shared site system taking tested testing try

Hello,
When I setup a buy now button through e-junkie, the buyer is directed to setup a paypal account.
But when I setup a buy now button within paypal, the buyer is NOT required to setup a paypal account.
I have the following default setting in Paypal: "PayPal Account Optional: On"
...so a paypal account is not required to complete purchase.

How do I fix this with e-junkie?

If PayPal's site detects a cookie in the buyer's browser from a previous PayPal account login, then they will assume the buyer either already has a PayPal account or is using a shared/public computer, so they will not offer the direct card-checkout option in that case.

Since you already have a PayPal account and have logged into it on your computer, when you take a test cart to checkout, you would not see the no-account direct card payment option offered. You can clear your browser cookies and try taking a test cart to checkout again, then you should see what the no-account direct card payment option looks like. :^)

Hello, thanks for the reply.
Well I just tested it again on a my fiance's new Dell laptop that just came in today and
it still only says "Create an account or login"

Any ideas?

Ok...i figured it out.
Since I was testing the system, I was using an email address that wasnt
activated in Paypal. Once I activated it, it worked! Which makes sense, because
how else will the check out know what setting I have chosen unless it is using
an active paypal email!! DUH!!

Thanks
