Paypal addon - Customer sent to page where they must create an account

  1. Hi

    I have a Payment Standard paypal account and setup the IPN as per instructions. The problem I seem to have is that my customers are sent to a page where they do not get the option to pay by credit card as a guest. The page they get only gives them the option to login to paypal or create a paypal account - although they can then add the credit card details. This is causing a problem as I have customer who do not want to create a paypal account as part of the credit card payment transaction. I realise that this is probably a Paypal issue, but if you can give any ideas as to what I need to do on the paypal account side, it would be most welcome.

    The payment page is http://www.maldon-town.com/add-business/standard-listing/

  2. This isn't Gravity Forms functionality, this is PayPal functionality. This may be due to the type of PayPal account you have. Is it a Personal account or a Business account? You need a Premier or Business PayPal account for the Guest Checkout option to appear.

  3. Thanks for the post. I have a business account and was having the same problem (paypal was not giving the option to pay via credit card). But when I changed my form transaction type from subscription to products and services, paypal gave my clients the option to pay with their credit cards.

  4. Any way to make 'Don't have a paypal account' option the default? I have spent a good amount of time looking for this solution.
