Hi, I've a business account on Paypal and want let users pay without Paypal account creation by using credit cards.
I've enabled and configured Paypal Express Checkout with API (the only one that permit payment without Paypal account creation right?) and showed the button on checkout page.
The problem: when I'm redirected on Paypal page I can only do login on Paypal or create an account. There's not option for "pay without create an account" (please see attachment)
I've already enabled the "optional account" on my Paypal profile.
Please confirm to me that only Express Checkout permit payment on Paypal without create an account and if I'm doing something wrong so I can't see options on Paypal page.
Thank you.

Hi,

PayPal Express checkout indeed permits payments with credit cards without creating an account, but that's not the only one. The normal PayPal Standard also permits that.
That is however only possible if the PayPal account is a Business account and only if the corresponding option in your PayPal account is activated: [ www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/mer/WAX\_landing-outside](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/mer/WAX_landing-outside)
So first, check that option.
On top of that, PayPal might still not allow users to purchase without a PayPal account as it tracks them and their purchases with several means: cookies in the browser, their email address, their country in their address, their IP address.
So it could be that PayPal has flagged you to not be able to pay without an account.

The best you can do is to contact PayPal's support so that they can check on their end why you wouldn't see the possibility to pay as a guest on their payment page for your website.
