PayPal as guest?

[Rodolfo]

Hi there,

I've a PayPal payments profile for user upgrades on my board.

A register user of my board asked me about being able to pay using PayPal but without being forced to create a PayPal account. It seems that the payment processor wants users to create an account.

My user doesn't want to create a PayPal account, is there any workaround?

I thought PayPal always allowed card payments. I think maybe you need a business account. Have you tried contacting them?

I've used PayPal for years without issues. Frankly you want your users to get an account as it allows for rebilling.

I HATE THIS PAYPAL. BECAUSE THERE IS NO PAYPAL IN TURKEY. SOME ADDON COMPANIES ONLY REQUEST PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL.

Paypal allow guest checkout if the payment is non recurring only

How can I not? My credit card is also accepted abroad. I can also shop anywhere in the world.
Additionally, Paypal does not accept payments from Turkish banks. Once, I got a phone number from America illegally. I opened an account at a fictitious address! I was able to complete an addon payment.

I will try. I'm out right now, I tried to do it on the phone but it didn't work. Let me verify my account and I'll do the rest anyway.

PayPal does not operative in all countries.

Exactly. In some countries PayPal also only lets you open an account to send money (you can not receive any).

I'm really not sure what your point is other than you hate PayPal.

This should work with SOLUTIONTYPE=So set?

With a Checkout custom-coded solution, there’s an additional step:

Set SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole in your initial SetExpressCheckout API call.
If you’re using a third-party shopping cart, you’ll need to work with them or your developer to implement this variable.
If SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole is passed in the SetExpressCheckout API, Guest Checkout will be enabled.
In order for SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole to work, you must have PayPal Account Optional set to On within your PayPal Account Settings (see below).
Many third-party carts provide an Enable Guest Checkout option in the Administration view of their Checkout module

Look like it is not working at the moment.
