found solution to set bussiness account type to Digital Goods Express Checkout but option is not avaliable. How i can set expresscheckout with digital goods?
Contact PayPal and let them know what you're doing. They need to enable Digital Goods for you.
First of all, not all countries support PayPal Digital Goods. If it is available in your country, you can find it in "My business setup" in "Selling Tools" page. Here are the steps. For more information, you can check here:

I integrated Paypal into my mobile APP and I use the REST API Calls. If I pay the ordeers using paypal account, It works succesfully, but if I use Direct Credit Card Payment (when the user doesn't have the paypal account), Paypal System return an error:
"The merchant does not accept payments of this type"
I don't found in my Paypal Dashboard where this payment type could be enabled.
Could you please help me?
Thanks
Luca
Following are checklist you should verify, probably following is the basic reasons for an error.
1: Be sure the merchant account has Pro permissions. Also, be sure the
app has gone through the developer-approval process.
2: Also, be sure the app has been approved. The app has basic
permissions until you submit it for approval.
3: You may have a Business account but to accept credit card payments
in the live environment your account must be approved for Paypal.
4: You should contact PayPal Developer Support. File a ticket at
PayPal merchant technical Support. Click on the Contact Technical
Support link to file a ticket.
5: You can call to PayPal Customer Care, They will verify your name,
DOB, Verification Code (Code will be shown in your PayPal Dashboard in
Customer support page) etc, they will fix your issue in a minute or
they will help you to fix your issue.
As per my experience to solve this issue I had to subscribe to the Website Payments Pro Hosted Solution.
There is no setup fee but there is a monthly fee and a transaction fee.

After You enabled Paypal For Digital Goods
You can use Demo created by us
Working Demo is here http://paypalphp-sandbox.angelleye.com/
PayPal is no longer offering new Digital Goods integrations. I'd like to test a new Express Checkout integration I'm working on against a PayPal Sandbox account which does NOT have Digital Goods enabled. Yet, every new Sandbox account I create has Digital Goods enabled by default.
How can I disable Digital Goods on a Sandbox account?
Actually there is no impact on your testing for Express Checkout.
As long as you didn't pass the parameters to determine the transaction type as Digital goods, PayPal will regard it as Physical goods transactions by default.
I have a store, based on opencart, and to this day I have two types of payments configured, one is paypal express checkout and the other is paypal website payments pro, for both options I needed to enter info like api password, username and signature, info that is the same for both cases - and double checked - when someone buy something and pay with paypal express checkout it works wonderfully, but when they try to use paypal website payments pro it says that there's a configuration merchant error. Checked and double checked, nothing, re-create the credentials again, nothing, I don't know what else to do I was wondering if someone around had the same error and if there's a solution for this?
Thanks a lot!
Arturo
Invalid Merchant Configuration means that DoDirectPayment is not enabled on your PayPal account, which means you don't have Payments Pro active.
It could also mean that Pro was approved, but you never agreed to the $30/mo payment. That agreement would show up in your overview when you login to your PayPal account.
Another possibility is that you've been approved for "PayPal Payments Pro 2.0" which uses the PayFlow API instead of the DoDirectPayment API. In that case, DDP would not be enabled on your account and would result in the error you're getting.
Have you been paying the $30/mo to PayPal for Pro?
How can I setup my PayPal sandbox account with tax settings?
I would like to setup tax as per the tax at the bottom of this page.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/shipping/EasyCalculateShipAndTax-outside%20
I do not see these options in PayPal developer sandbox site setup.
What I would like to happen is PayPal works out that the billing address for the purchaser is in Australia, add 10% GST and then on the response, notifies me that 10% gst was applied (or the amount of other ways) so I can record that against the order and show it on the receipt.
Is paypal pro account needed? If so, I am also having problems making a pro account as outlined in this SO Question:
Cannot create a business-pro account in sandbox?
The shipping calculator in PayPal website applies only to Website Payment Standard Buttons(Buy now, add to cart etc). If you would like to pass tax in PayPal Express Checkout, you need to pass tax using API variables such as PAYMENTREQUEST_n_TAXAMT. You don't need PRO account to do this.
