How can I implement the PayPal chained payment by gift certificates?
There is no way to choose "Gift certificate" as a payment method during the adaptive payments, e.g. chained payment.
See the [Screenshot of the window after clicking to change the payment method][]1
Let me know if you need more details, I will provide them.

Are 'senders' required to have or set up a PayPal account when using Adaptive payments>Chained Payments? It's not a problem for the receivers but for the senders, a lot of people just want to use their credit card to pay and don't wish to set up a PalPal account just to check out.
Sender is not required to have a PayPal account when making Adaptive Chained Payments. Below is a screen shot of my recent test on their sandbox site for Adaptive payments -> Chained Payments .
I want to use recurrring payments with credit card on my web site. Can guests of my web site do recurring payments with credit cards without registration on paypal? I tried use subscription button, but when I chose pay with credit card, I entered credit card information and then paypal made me to register on paypal (https://snag.gy/hxO2Gl.jpg). Also I tried do recurring payments with credit card (Direct Payment Recurring Payments (DPRP)), but I have to be PCI compliant for processsing dredit card on my web site. Can I do recurring payments through Checkout page (with button "Add to cart")?
With PayPal website payment standard ( PayPal subscription button ) integration you can use Enhanced Recurring Payment option for showing card option to your customers. So that your customers will be able to subscribe for recurring payments with the card. The Enhanced Recurring Payment option is available in US, UK, CA, AU. Please contact PayPal customer service team for further help!
To accept PayPal payments I see there are the following options for developer:
Express Checkout
PayPal Payments Standard
PayPal Payments Advanced
Which of these options accept the credit/debit cards without the buyer has the PayPal account?
With Express Checkout is possible?
I used express checkout to accept payments even if the customer does not have a paypal account
You need to set PayPal Account Optional in your account/sandbox and set SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole in the SetExpressCheckout API call.
Express Checkout: in which user needs to have a valid Paypal account.
PayPal Payments Standard and PayPal Payments Advanced are the two solutions offered by Paypal having different features, you can see a comparison of both here.
Another method is Direct Payment (i.e. in which user can pay with credit cards directly without having any Paypal account). Direct Payment API
For this direct payment api you need to enable Website Payment Pro WPP , here you can get info about WPP.
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
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.
solutiontype = Sole
landingpage = billing
