Paypal and credit card

Does anyone knows how to connect Zencar with PayPal's payment for credit cards only?
What do I need to have on my PayPal account to use/receive payments with credit card ?

Thanks

Re: Paypal and credit card

to take payments without the customer every leaving your site to go to paypal you
need to have paypal website payments pro.
You then configure zencart with your website payments pro settings and express checkout in the payment modules.

Re: Paypal and credit card

Also, you need to upgrade your Paypal account to Premier or Business.

Re: Paypal and credit card

"To upgrade your PayPal account from a Personal to a Premier or Business account so that you can begin accepting credit card payments, you'll need to sign in to PayPal and visit your account page. In the left column, click the "Upgrade Account" link and follow the instructions provided. You'll be able to choose which type of account you want and, if you choose a Business account, to enter your business information."

No. Customers can use credit cards with any PayPal payment system.

When you view a PayPal detail statement for an order, if it says "Unregistered", that means that the customer used a credit card and does not have a PayPal account. I use PayPal IPN and customers can use credit cards with that.

Re: Paypal and credit card

Any of PayPal's products will let your customers pay via credit card. That includes PayPal Express Checkout, PayPal Website Payments Standard, and Website Payments Pro.
There is a fee for the Website Payments Pro service.

All three PayPal options are built-in to Zen Cart. You can configure them like this: https://www.zen-cart.com/getpaypal

If you have questions about which PayPal product is best for you, it's best that you choose Express Checkout, and maybe also Website Payments Pro.
You can contact PayPal Merchant Services for more clarification on which is best for you.
