Paypal IPN without paypal account

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my site up and running, and so far it seems to be going ok, but there is one thing that's bugging me. I'm using paypal IPN for payments and it seems that it's requiring people to have a paypal account? I thought when I was testing things earlier it allowed you to pay by CC without signing up for paypal, but now I don't see that option anywhere. I looked at my paypal settings in my paypal profile and it's set to allow payment without an account, but when I do a test order it's requiring me to have an account.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Paypal IPN without paypal account

Right underneath the "PayPal account login" box, there is a link "Don't have a PayPal account? click here" link which they can choose to proceed with paying via Credit Card.

DrByte:

Yep, I remember seeing that from when I was playing around with it before. But now that my site is live, that option doesn't appear. Just the login box or a link that says: "Don't have a PayPal account? Sign up now."

Ah... ok, so I clicked on that link and it does allow you to pay without an account. That's a little misleading though... If I couldn't figure it out I doubt many of my customers will. Most I imagine will just say... nah I don't want to sign up and go somewhere else. :(
