Hello All,

I know this site leans toward using PayPal Express.....I got that.

I just got off the phone with PayPal. I've had an account for my site for years and couldn't remember if the API was for PayPal Standard or Express. As it turns out my old API was for PayPal Standard.

In order to use PayPal Express you need a different API #. Not a problem and you can have different API numbers for each type of account if you choose to.

But, here's what I thought interesting; the PayPal rep told me that with Express the customer is "forced" to open a PayPal account if they don't already have one whereas with PayPal Standard they can choose to use their credit card OR their PayPal account.

I read here that the reason for the Express 'favorite status' has something to do with servers talking back and forth. I absolutely HATE being forced to sign up to this type of account and will NOT do so if I can find an alternative.

So, I am wondering if anyone has gotten any feedback from a customer who just doesn't want to open a PP account and balks at being forced to do so?

Thanks

MM
