If you are using PayPal Standard/Business/Premier, it is entirely up to PayPal's discretion whether they offer each buyer a card-based direct payment option during checkout on PayPal's site. There is no way to force PayPal to offer that option every time. If the buyer's browser has a cookie from a previous PayPal login session, that would suppress the card-based payment option, but that's not the only reason, and PayPal deliberately does not document their full criteria for security purposes.

However, you can enroll for PayPal Website Payments Pro, and that will allow you to offer all buyers a card-based direct payment option in their E-junkie shopping cart before checkout:

I clear the cookies and tried with your demo but I still see a page with "Create PayPal Password:" which I suppose it's asking the buyer to create a PayPal account.

I called PayPal and ask them about this, the agent told me "it works for some buyer but not all due to PayPal security system. Unfortunately However, he doesn't know the criteria for what determine direct credit card payment is on or not".

Any idea to make sure a site is done correctly and would be able to accept credit card without paypal account?

Thanks.]]> E-junkie Discussions; jiajilah http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2097/pg/0#post12426 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2097/pg/0#post12426 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:15:01 GMT
For sites using PayPal Pro, the buyer has a choice of two buttons in their cart:
- The "Pay with Credit Card" button takes them to a secure checkout page where they provide their card account info to pay the merchant directly from the buyer's card account.
- The "Checkout with PayPal" button takes them to PayPal's site for a regular PayPal account-based payment, aka "PayPal Express Checkout"; in this case, PayPal would not offer the no-account card-checkout option on their site, because that's what the "Pay with Credit Card" option in the cart is for.

For sites using only regular PayPal Standard/Business/Premier, then PayPal would offer the no-account card-checkout option on their site if they don't detect a previous PayPal-login cookie in the buyer's browser. For instance, clear your cookies and test our PayPal demo cart with a PayPal checkout (you don't have to actually complete checkout, just see what options come up when you go there):

I test purchased an item on a site using API and pretended that my emial adress(the purchaser) had no paypal acocunt.

Paypal did not give me the option to pay by credit card.


did same thing on a website using only the simple redirect with email address and no API.


Paypal gave me this beautifull window with credit card information on the left and option to log in on the right.


Assumptions: All of the above is without paypal pro]]> E-junkie Discussions; Blaizer http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2097/pg/0#post12426 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2097/pg/0#post12426 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:31:04 GMT
With or without PayPal Pro, going to checkout on PayPal's site will usually offer the buyer a choice of logging into their PayPal account, starting a new account, or just providing their card info directly to PayPal for payment. There are certain circumstances where PayPal will not offer the direct-card payment option, as described here:

PayPal standard can very well be used to accept credit cards. That's not a new feature.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-JunkieExpert http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2097/pg/0#post12426 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2097/pg/0#post12426 Wed, 5 Mar 2008 05:54:29 GMT
Quick question for you, I have been paying for PayPal Pro in order to accept credit card payment from my customers. Is it still the case? Can I use regular PayPal (without Pro) and still accept credit card payments from my customers? I don't know if there was some recent change to the system...]]> E-junkie Discussions; GuestUser
