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).

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.
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.
Can I improve user experience, e.g. show product description, and highlight "Pay using your credit card", with simple Paypal buttons?
I offer a paid service on my website, with monthly subscription, fixed amount each month. I don't need the user's address, and there's only 1 "product".
Currently I created a simple "paypal button", which works fine, but I want to improve it, and possibly make it even shorter, but didn't find out how to:
highlight "pay with credit card",
I don't want to force users into logging into their paypal account (users with paypal account get error: "You cannot use an e-mail address or card number that belongs to an existing PayPal account")
show the user the product details/descriptions as in the picture:
Although I'm a programmer, I prefer not to use any API calls, especially since it doesn't seem to be necessary in my simple case.
How can I add these elements?
Is there an option with paypal to send users directly to a credit-card payment screen?
You'll need to switch to the Express Checkout API to show item details and force the credit card option. Even then, though, if the user has the credit card added to a PayPal account they're going to have to sign in and pay that way rather than use the CC form. Also, if you're working with recurring payments they'll need a PayPal account anyway.
The only way to avoid that is to sign up for PayPal Payments Pro so you can tie the credit card form directly into your website with no redirect to PayPal at all.
You'll need to enable Recurring Billing on Pro, too, after it's approved and enabled, and then your users can choose to sign up with PayPal (where you'd use Express Checkout) or Pro (where they'd enter a credit card directly.)
If you're really that set on not using API's you could apply for Enhanced Recurring Payments for Payments Standard, but I haven't fully tested that to see about passing order item details to the review pages.
I have a question regarding PayPal integration with my website. I have a Premier account with PayPal. I tried integrating it with my website by adding a 'Buy Now' button. When I click on it it asks the end user to create a PayPal account. However, I want the users to be able to make a payment directly with their credit/debit card without creating a PayPal account.
I am not a technical guy, so I might have missed out on something. I want to know if it is possible to integrate paypal without me having to code something technically. Kindly advise.
According to PayPal, buyers do not need a PayPal account to pay you:
They can pay with their credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American
Express, and Discover) — all without having a PayPal account.

To create the button, simply visit PayPal's button creator wizard and supply the required information. Once submitted, PayPal will autogenerate the HTML for you. See: Create PayPal payment button
This happened because the account was a PayPal account in UAE, and this feature is not enabled there yet.
When user click on subscribe button of paypal, then it will redirect to paypal site, after that it will show 2 option which are:
1: login with paypal
2: i need to create a paypal account and below showing credit card form
and my requirement is to show 3 option.
1: Login with Paypal account.
2: If no paypal account then create paypal account.
3: no need paypal account, then payment through credit card
Yes, you can create subscriptions without requiring users to have a PayPal account.
However, it's not available for regular Website Payments Standard; you'll need to purchase an add-on service called 'Enhanced Recurring Payments' (US) or 'Premium Services' (UK).
I believe - from the top of my head - that it's available in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. However, you'd need to double-check those last two with PayPal Sales.
If you want to let your users to subscribe (aka recurring payment), they must have a PayPal account.

For recurring payments you can try using ChargeBee, Recurly, Chargify. These provide credit card data portability. It is must to have requirement for recurring payment businesses.
