    The client wants to be able to easily accept credit cards through Paypal, but when checkout button is pressed, instead of just filling in credit card info, Paypal wants you to create an account. SIte: http://www.jamesowenmathews.com/his-music

    How can I make it so the user doesn’t need to sign up for a Paypal account? Is this a Paypal issue or a Simple Shopping Cart config issue?

    Toddlyda,

    You need to have a PayPal business or Pro account to accept credit card payments (upgrading to pro or business accounts is free).

    If you do have a pro or business account already then the following link will explain this in detail:

    I’ve followed the instructions, cleared the cache and verified that Paypal is setup and I’m still getting the login screen. I need to allow payment without login.

    Please advise.

    Yes, I created a new business account and just now confirmed it is a business account.

    I’ve followed the instructions, cleared the cache…

    How about all of your cookies, as per the earlier link provided by Ivy?

    Can you post a URL of the page containing the button so I can inspect the behavior from my browser?

    Besides having a PayPal business account, did you also…

    Yes, the email address is confirmed and the account is set to Account Optional to “On”.

    Correction… I did click confirm, but must have missed something. I just found where this setting is in PayPal and it is showing unconfirmed still. My sincere apologies. I did all the steps, but didn’t realize that my confirm didn’t finish. If you have anyone asking this question in the future you can send them to: https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/profile/personalInformation/unifiedsettings/email?from=%2Fbusinessmanage%2Fprofile%2FloginSecurity and ask them “Does it say Primary, Unconfirmed under your email address”.
