I need some help Please

Hello,

I have been trying to solve this for a friend of mine all day long.
I honestly am at the crying stage now, no joke.

I have 30.00 USD to my name and am willing to pay someone to do this for me if anyone will.
This is How Frustrated I now am.

This is what is going on,

1. She wants people to be able to pay via paypal with a credit card, but when they try to they are instructed at paypal.com to type a password and she does not want this.
   She was using the regular business paypal to do this.

OK so I research and found this article:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=28

So I try to change it to the express checkout thinking this will fix it?

NO it gives a plain white page only and never did go to paypal or back to the site or make the payment.

Would someone be willing to walk me through this step by baby step or would someone be willing to update her zencart and set up the payment to work with out having to join paypal or set a password on paypal in order to buy from her site for 30.00 usd?

Guys I am seriously so frustrated with this, and for a long time I have loved zencart and tell everyone to use it but today has me feeling like I am a totally idiot when it comes to zencart and truly in tears.

Thank You
Ellen

Has she set up her PayPal business account to accept credit cards without account? I think PayPal offers the opportunity to create a PayPal account, but it's not required.

I honesty am not sure, where in paypal does she do this please?
I did not even know you had to do this.

Thank You

Sorry, I can't tell you how, as I don't do it myself, but I think this is what you want:

This is the page I get as I use PayPal as another payment option:

Have a look at the link the cursor is at, if you click on that link on the page, it takes you to the page I think you want. (I can't do on mine as it autofills the details of the customer in the boxes, so doesn't show it the way you want to see it).

So, it does what you want - just ask PayPal if no-one on here can help.

All the best

The following tutorial (and related articles at bottom of page) may help.
Click on the "payment without account" link in the tutorial for info on where in PayPal to locate the setting, and one cause for your customers to get a request to login/sign up with PayPal.

According to THIS TUTORIAL on the zencart WIKI, point number 13 states:

PayPal™ Account Optional ... if you want to allow customers to pay by credit card and not have to create a PayPal™ account, set this to ON .

This may be your issue... you may have set it to OFF.

Thank YOu to all who responded - I think the above quoted reply is what I was looking for and could not find and I do think I found the issue because it seems to be working now in regular business IPN mode.

However I still get a blank white page if I enable the express plugin, is there a reason why?

Thank You

Make sure she is using a "Business" account with PayPal, you can't do what you want with a "Personal" account. This 'might' be the reason fo the white page - just an initial thought.
