Is there a way to process a credit card in the Paypal API without needing a user account. Does this require a Paypal Merchant Pro account?

Anyone?

When I enter using the Paypal radial button, it takes me to the correct Paypal account, however it only gives me the option to pay using a Paypal account. I would like to have the credit card payment, without an acct. as an option too.

Thanks.

If you want redirected paypal page to show credit card entry form,
you need to modify \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\payment\ps_paypal_api.php

Find the following code:
$resArray=hash_call("SetExpressCheckout",$nvpstr);

Add the following code right before the above code:
$nvpstr .= "&SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole" . "&LANDINGPAGE=Billing";

Then the redirected paypal paypal page will show the credit card entry form.
For details, refer to paypal NVP manual, and search for "LANDINGPAGE"

The above solution is for VM 1.1.8
