Accepting CreditCards thru PayPal

Hello all,

I'm having a small issue of accepting credit card payments via paypal. The paypal account is a bussiness account, and I have the PayPal IPN module set up on ZenCart. I have no problem accepting payments from other paypal accounts, and it does the normal checkout - go to paypal website - return customer to our shopping cart. But there is no option on that first page from paypal for anything but paying with another paypal account.
I have read through their integration guide for the website payments standard which is supposed to let you accept credit card payments. It seems to me I need to edit some file somewhere on my zencart, but I am clueless as to which one, and what I need to edit.
Any help, please? I feel like I'm running around in circles about this, and I can't find anything on it in the FAQS.
Also since I'm sure it will be suggested - I have already turned off (actually, I don't think I ever turned them on) the authorize.net and cc modules in Zencart. I only have check/money order, COD and PayPal modules turned on for payments.

Re: Accepting CreditCards thru PayPal

Hello,

I got the same issue. I was wondering is this normal on paypal solution:- Someone confirms orders and goes to a page for making payment, obviously by default i only have paypal, so it asks the customer to log into paypal, but underneath it says if you do not have paypal account click here and then get the option to pay by credit.

Is this how it works or i was thinking make the customer confirms order it will take them to a page where there will be two options one with credit card symbols and option to pay by that and next to it to login in to paypal.

So how how the enable this feature, and where in payapl preference would that be in.

Re: Accepting CreditCards thru PayPal

I will be contacting Paypal regarding this and see what they suggest and if this would be possible, as on there demo this is what it shows should happen.

Will keep posted.

Re: Accepting CreditCards thru PayPal

Hello everyone,

The issue has been resolved. The page which i wanted as in previous message has been sorted by paypal. By that i mean where someone gets the option to chose credit card for log in to account.

The issue was resolved by pointing my checkout to a different address.

Currently by default it point to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

but wen i change it to https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr

huraaaaayyyyy its sorted like the way i wanted it.

Could someone help me with one more issue, at present it seems my whole checkout amount is going to papal as a single item, how can make individual items to go there and then total up.

Kunal

Re: Accepting CreditCards thru PayPal

There is a mod for this, but since your looking for a nice professional layout the module isnt going to work,
for some reason it wont line break so your items look like
itema ** itemb ** itemc **
