I've created an invoice using PayPal Invoicing REST API. Invoice is created properly and later sent but there is no option to pay without PayPal account. When customer clicks on link in email or invoice link in my application, login pop-up is shown and there is no option to pay with credit card - something like this (2nd image on page)
In my app settings on PayPal "Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments" is enabled and "PayPal account optional" is enabled.
Guest availability in the paypal.com checkout depends on very many factors, including the IP address and geographic location of the buyer, the amount of the transaction, the device used, and any number of other things. Other than disabling "PayPal Account Optional" as a possibility in your account, you cannot control this behavior of the PayPal checkout page.
"Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments" , or a more simple standard "Debit or Credit Card" button integration using the JS SDK give you control over the behavior on your own site (not in the paypal.com checkout itself). So you could conceivably create your own invoice page and link to that page, if you want to do that work rather than use what's ready-made by PayPal's invoice system.

I would like to know when the user click on this section No PayPal account? Pay using your credit or debit card
Question Is it possible to remove this section You need a PayPal account for this purchase. Because some users may not have a pay pal account just want to pay by credit card.
I am using paypal sand box at the moment.
Your PayPal account will need to get Enhanced Recurring Payments option enabled for showing the card option during the checkout. Please contact PayPal Customer Service team for enabling ERP option.
If this option is not enabled, then there is no chance for guest checkout, in that case, you can't remove the text "You need a PayPal account for this purchase" at the checkout page. This is an intended behavior.
Is there a way to have paypal process my credit cards in the background without having the user to leave my site or have a paypal account?
Or is this feature only for "Pro" accounts?
Thanks.
This is available for normal Account also.
The Direct Payment User Experience
Direct Payment enables buyers to pay by credit or debit card during your checkout flow. You have complete control over the experience; however, you must consider PCI compliance.
When buyers choose to pay with a credit or debit card, they enter their card number and other information on your website. After they confirm their order and click Pay, you complete the order in the background by invoking the DoDirectPayment API operation. Buyers never leave your site. Although PayPal processes the order, buyers aren't aware of PayPal's involvement; PayPal will not even appear on the buyer's credit card statement for the transaction.
The following diagram shows a typical Direct Payment flow:

I have two different systems set up to use Paypal Express, both use the same account.
On system A after the customer is directed to the Paypal website, they have two options, 1 to log into their account, the other to "pay with a credit or debit card". See picture
On system B at the same stage the customer doesn't have this option.
Does anybody know what the setting or config item to control this is? As said we've got different integrations connected to the same account so I don't think it's a setting in the Paypal account its self.
Express checkout was originally designed to compliment a merchant's existing credit card options with the option to pay with PayPal by logging into their account. By default the feature in question doesn't exist. An additional parameter must be sent to PayPal with the SetEC call: SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole. If you are using a 3rd party shopping cart it's possible the cart doesn't support the feature.
I have created some paypal buttons using paypal button manager (My Saved Button Page). All works good so far.
I however want the paypal payment page to open the credit card tab by default. (the tab that says 'Don't have paypal account?').
From other stackoverflow answers I can see I need to use express checkout, and in the API call I need to set SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole and LANDINGPAGE=Billing.
But how do I set this on my normal Paypal payment buttons (the ones I created using Button manager)?
My account on paypal is a business account, and does support Paypal payment pro and Express checkout.
Did you know that paypal will default to the "don't have a paypal account" for customers who don't have accounts.
PayPal automatically checks if your customers cookies to see if they have ever logged into paypal. If so, it will default to log in, if not then the pay with debit or credit card.
This is why you always see log in. Try clearing your cache and cookies on your browsers and then go to your payments page, you will see.
I have a website which is using PayPal Express Checkout as a payment method.
It was working for 2 years without a problem but yesterday I noticed that the payment options are changed before there were 2 payment option presented to the user
Login and pay with PayPal account.
Do not have PayPal account pay by credit/debit card.
But now the second option is replaced by Create a PayPal account. There is no option to pay without having a PayPal account.
I have not changed anything.
Anybody knows why the Pay by credit/debit card is gone.
First make sure in your Paypal/Sandbox account the PayPal Account have
Optional: ON
Go to -->
PayPal account's Profile -> More Options -> My Selling Tools -> Website Preferences screen.
And then set SolutionTypeType to Sole while making request for setExpressCheckout this will enable the option to Pay with your debit or credit card.
And you are done :)
What I know is earlier when you pay with credit card on paypal using express check out API it also create an account for that user and let user process different things like link bank account with paypal or credit card payment.
It is default behavior of paypal express checkout according to their new View
PayPal displays different options for Express Checkout depending upon the COUNTRY selected (it will detect your IP address and set the country if no country is passed to the page). eg Indonesia (etc) forces you to create a Paypal account whereas USA (etc) does not (and provides other options).
