Paypal API without user account

[timjm]

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.

You do NOT require a PayPal acc

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:

Code Select Expand

$resArray=hash_call("SetExpressCheckout",$nvpstr);

Add the following code right before the above code:

Code Select Expand

$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"
