Paypal Issue URGENT HELP NEEDED

I need some help please regarding my paypal merchant plugin.

My shop is running on ZC v 1.5.8a on the bootstrap template.

My customers can login to my site and choose an item that they want to purchase. When they get to the Paypal express or click on check out they then get sent to the paypal servers where they are required to either login or sign up with paypal.

I want to change this where they do not have to sign up with paypal to complete the transaction.

I have looked at the settings and this is what i have >

True

Sort order of display.

The intresting thing is that on my laptop when i try to complete a purchase i am taken to a page on paypal servers where i manually enter my credit card details and i have a check box where i do not have to sign up with paypal. But i do not see this option on my phone or tablet.

I am using PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT module rev 1.5.8

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Re: Paypal Issue URGENT HELP NEEDED

The change needs to be made at PayPal, and you have to have a business account.

Here's how to do it:

  • Log in to your PayPal account.
  • Go to your Account Settings.
  • On the left-hand side, select Website payments.
  • Next to "Website preferences," click Update.
  • Find the section titled "PayPal account optional".
  • Select On.
  • Click Save to confirm your changes.
