how to enable paypal express checkout as guest - paypal

I am using Paypal lab Integration wizard to put express checkout work on my website. By default, if you don't have a paypal account you have to register on paypal then pay with credit/debit card. Is there a way to enable paypal express checkout as guest ? I am using .aspx (C#). Thank you.

Include SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole in your SetExpressCheckout API call.

Can I use paypal express API if my registered account is paypal standard

When you register an account in paypal they will ask you what type of account you want to create. I choose business then there are 3 options to choose from.
Payments Pro
Paypal Standard
Paypal Express
I selected Paypal Standard.
Can I still use Paypal express API even if my account is paypal standard?
Thanks,
Defy
Yes, You can use PayPal Express Checkout. You just get the API credentials from your PayPal account and use those API credentials at express checkout integration.

paypal payment not going through with any of the options

Using ASP Classic
Paypal LIVE Express checkout
It shows the Payment Amount at the checkout, but the payment doesn't go through. The payment doesn't even leave customer's account. I have tried using my wife's paypal account to complete the checkout.
I am only using paypal checkout system and have added all the API information in expresscheckout.asp and paypalfunctions.asp
I have also tried adding these API options too, but still wouldnt work
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_NAMEm
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_NUMBERm
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_AMTm
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_QTYm
Any help would be great.... tks

How can i enable both services i.e., Direct Payment and Express Checkout on Paypal live US business account?

Recently I had implemented Recurring Payments API using the following payment methods:
Direct Payment
Express Checkout
All was working fine on Sandbox account. But on Live account when i enable one payment solution like Express Checkout then service for Direct Payment is disabled and vice-versa. How can i enable both above mentioned payment methods/solutions for Recurring Payments?
You are requested to go to the link below to upgrade your US PayPal account to the Pro account.

After that you are able to integrate Direct Payment for Recurring Payments.
You can also refer to the link below.

Express Checkout with Paypal Payflow Pro - hosted pages

According to this https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/payflow/integration-guide/#configuring-hosted-pages-using-paypal-manager i should be able to enable express checkout payment option on my paypal manager account(test mode) but I can't see any PayPal Express Checkout section on the Hosted Pages setup page. During the transaction i can see only credit card payment method on the hosted page. How to enable express checkout payment method?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
Which layout did you choose? I'm pretty sure you have to use Layout C in order to get the Express Checkout option built in, and you need to make sure it's activated in your PayPal Manager.

Paypal Direct Payment API using Paypal account

is it possible to make a payment with user's paypal balance using Direct Payment? I know that Direct Payment offers recurring payments but I'd like to use it not only for credit cards but for paypal account balance too. Is it possible or not at all?
Thanks
Only the Express Checkout paypal api allows it...
Check out the documentation for paypal's Express Checkout

I do not believe that the Direct Payment option allows it at all.
