Paypal - restrict to just Paypal accts - not allow CC payments - Possible ?

Does anyone know if you can set up Paypal such that a customer must pay only through their Paypal account and not allow a cc to be used (even for a Paypal account holder) ?

The idea is that if any Paypal payment module is used, then the customer could only send money from their PP account (either their paypal account has a balance or they draw from their bank account)....not use credit card.

Many thanks for any guidance :smile:

All settings are under your profile in your paypal account, read each one carefully, you can disable credit cards and require each to have a paypal account, if you prefer them to use paypal and not thier credit card.

If im not mistaken go to profile --> Payment Receiving Preferences set to whatever you wish, think you can go to profile --> Website Payment Preferences as well. Just have to look around for what you want.

Thanks :smile:

I saw under the Website Payment Preferences where to turn off PayPal Account Optional so that the customer would need to have a Paypal account, but I can't seem to find where to turn off credit cards.

I know a few years ago, you could also require a customer to have a Verified Paypal account, but PP got rid of that

Using Express Checkout, you can require that they have a confirmed shipping address. If the address they supply isn't a Confirmed one, they'll be required to go back and choose a Confirmed address.

Ah, okay, many thanks, Dr :-)

PayPal will collect and remit funds using whatever funding option the customer chooses.

I thought so. Thanks, Dr. :smile:
