I´m trying to develop a link for a web site to redirect the logged user to a checkout process that allow recurring payments via Paypal using its credit cards.
I´ve read Paypal documentation regarding subscriptions and I have some questions:
There is a warning message telling:
"The use of the Paypal REST /payments APIs to accept credit card payments is restricted. Instead, you can accept credit card payments with Braintree Direct".
Is it true?. Do I have to use some Braintree REST API or SDK to let user to
put credit card information?
After users approve agreements, how can I get credit card expiration dates to inform whether some are close to expire.?
Any help or clarification would be appreciate.
Thanks.

As per the subject. Does my customer MUST to have paypal account and login to his paypal account in order for me to create a billing agreement, or I can use credit card as payment method for a billing agreement?
I am working with REST Api
Thanks
It is possible.
An example of the API is here: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-NET-SDK/blob/develop/Samples/Source/BillingAgreementWithCreditCard.aspx.cs
Subscriptions (recurring payments) option for direct payments needs to be also enabled in merchant paypal account. I had trouble with it but messaged paypal and they enabled the feature for us.
So tested and working now.
We are having major trouble when we pay using direct credit card payment from mobile application development. To the live transaction we cannot able to use direct credit card payment.
While using Credit Card: "The merchant does not accept payments of this type."
We are developing the mobile application using ionic framework. Using the ionic-paypal plugin we implemented and Sandbox flow has been verified success using Paypal REST API. For the live account not working. Paypal develper page i cannot able to enable the "credit card payment" from the following url "https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accountStatus"
Any additional permission require to live transaction or any other steps and solutions to complete this
PayPal REST API Credit Card payment instrument currently available for US and UK PRO account. If you tried with some other countries except from these two, you'll get an error.

In my website I have integrated PayPal subscription. There client redirects to paypal site and do the payments and return to my site, it is fine. But my client wants to accept credit card payments, in current implementation users need to create paypal account in order to do credit card payments. As per my finding on the web we can do recurring credit card payments in following ways.
Collect credit card detail and store on paypal side and perform transaction when we need using a token. But this method supports only in UK and US
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/rest_api_payment_country_currency_support/#direct-credit-card-payments
Collect credit card details and create recurring payment profiles via API. But this method possible only in US,UK,Canada only
We can do credit cards payments on PayPal site(without paypal account) with their Enhanced Recurring Payment service. It is not free($19.99/month)
My client is in France, So in my case only possible option is 3. Am I correct? Is there any other way to do it.
Unfortunately, none of the option is available for France Merchants to process direct credit card payments.
The option 3 Enhanced Recurring Payment(ERP) is available for US,UK,AU and CA.
No, for France Merchants there is no way to accept direct credit card payments, only way is you can turn on "account optional" feature in paypal account and increase chances that buyer could pay with credit card along with PayPal with Website Payment standard or Express checkout
I have a shopping site. According to requirements, I need to give two options--PayPal payment (if user has PayPal account) and debit/credit card payment. Even if PayPal allows payment for users who don't have a PayPal account, I don't want them to do payments through PayPal. Instead, is there any direct payment for Visa/MasterCard?
PayPal Payments + Direct Credit Card Acceptance is available as part of the new REST APIs as well as the Express Checkout APIs.
Please use any of these products (suggest REST API).
Question:
Is it possible to set up a subscription via Paypal api Express Checkout, so you can pay via Credit card and Paypal login. The Paypal login works no problem, but I can not get it to work with credit cards at the moment.
I have set the NVP SOLUTIONTYPE = Sole
I know you can set up a paypal subscription button, but the client want to sell a product (single payment or instalments) and add a subscription if user wants to sign up.
Many thanks for any help.

UPDATE:
For anyone else who has this problem I got this response back from Paypal:
With subscriptions and Express Checkout, they will be PayPal only. Any time you specify a billing type in your SetExpressCheckout call, it turns it into a PayPal only transaction. The only way you would be able to set up a recurring payment via credit card (without a button) is to use the Website Payments Pro and Pro Recurring Payments. Website Payments Pro would allow the customer to enter their credit card directly on the website for one-time payments and also you can set it up to accept the credit card information for recurring payments. You wouldn't be able to turn that one-time payment into a recurring payment at a later time but if you wanted to set them both up at the start that's certainly possible. Also, you would be able to use reference transactions with your Pro payments as well.
Here is a link to the paypal manual for Paypal Pro.
Be warned, with Paypal Pro you can not accept American Express cards, if your paypal account is not American - which sadly is what I'm trying to do :(
No, this is not possible with Express Checkout Recurring Payments.
You must purchase Direct Payment Recurring Payments (an addon to Website Payments Pro) in order to set up profiles direct via credit card.
Note that Direct Payment Recurring Payments is only available in the US, UK and Canada at the moment.
This is not possible to make direct payment with Express Checkout,for this you have got create and account on paypal and please set only two options to working credit/debit card with Express Checkout.
