I am trying to use Express checkout in Pay Pal Api.
And I want to use it in guest mode (without creating of account), everything of it work through WooCommerce.
For all of that i done:
SET "PayPal Account Optional: On."
SET LANDINGPAGE=Billing
SET SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
Settings in wooCommerce also correct
And yes I have business account.
I cleaned cache and once time it even worked but after few time testing its broken again and I do not know what to do.
I tested in different browsers even IPs, one time some magic it used to work but failed again.
So maybe someone know how to make it work constantly?
Verified PayPal account
Confirmed email address
Guest Checkout enabled
With Express Checkout their cart must pass "SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole"
If all of these are met and it's not available then our system has decided to disable the guest checkout option for risk reasons. This is not a permanent decision and it will be available in the future. If you are a big merchant and has a good TPV, you can check with your account manager/business support to help you with this.
If you want to make sure that you want to use Guest checkout, you will need to go for Payflow or PayPal Payments PRO (depending on merchant country).

The only way to force Guest Checkout (which is what PayPal calls it when somebody uses a credit card from their checkout pages without signing in to a PayPal account) is to use the Express Checkout APIs.
This will allow you to set parameters that provide the Guest Checkout experience in all instances where it's available. Keep in mind that even with this configured correctly, Guest Checkout is simply not available for all buyers in all countries, so you still won't get it for 100% of your customers if you're selling world wide.
Guest Checkout is available in PayPal Standard Payments, too, but it's cookie based, so it's very unreliable. If the browser in use has ever had anybody sign in to a PayPal account then it will assume the current user will be signing in, too, and it will not prominently display the Guest Checkout option. This is what you are able to avoid by using the Express Checkout APIs.
This PayPal PHP SDK will make the Express Checkout calls very quick and easy for you. Specifically, you'll be working with:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment
In your SetExpressCheckout request you'll make sure to include the follow parameters:
SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
LANDINGPAGE=Billing
USERSELECTEDFUNDINGSOURCE=CreditCard
This will ensure that the user sees the Guest Checkout experience.
Direct processing of Credit Cards is deprecated.
But people can pay without PayPal account - it's called guest payments.
Use the PayPal API and allow the optimal checkout to YES and then customers can pay either through credit card / paypal account.

I am developing Express checkout with Merchant-SDK for classic API and I am experiencing some problems with guest paymens.
I have checked the PayPal Account Optional and I am manualy setting the SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole during setExpresCheckout.
However I am getting very inconsistent results (at some point I was able to use guest payment with PayPal Account Optional alone). Guest payment seems to work for only some states but they seem not to be always the same.
So I am wondering What else affects this? Where can I find some explanation?
Note: I am using shortened flow (useraction=commit) and setting the LOCALCODE. Right now I am also setting the LANDINGPAGE=Billing but It would be better for me to leave this on PayPal.
As for integration level, PayPal Account Optional (set as 'on') and SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole are the only 2 steps for you to configure. Nothing else you should do. Such guest checkout issue for Express Checkout is mainly based on customer/buyer side, including the network environment, funding source status, etc., PayPal has its own risk detection mechanism to judge whether or not your customer is suitable for guest checkout. This risk detection mechanism is very complicated to find its rule.
But if your PayPal account is based on U.S., you can go to the link below to upgrade your PayPal account to the Pro account, and then you can integrate PayPal Direct Payment which can fully use guest checkout.

I am using Paypal Standard for Magento and I have 2 stores. On my US store, I can checkout fine without creating a account. My store is USD based currency so that is what is passed to paypal. On Europe, the portal ask me to either create a account, or sign up with an existing. It does not allow me to make a purchase anonymously.
When I go to Paypal Profile > Payment Preferences, I can clearly see that Paypal Account Optional is turned on. But it appears it only applies the US users only. Is this true ?
So what could be the issue ?
Thanks in advance.
The issue is most likely within Magento. There is a setting in:
System > Configuration > Sales > Checkout
entitled "Allow Guest Checkout". Make sure this is selected to Yes.
I just wanted to know if it is possible using paypal REST api that we can disable the shipping information form on paypal site. I am currently working on a site to implement cart checkouts, For fist time, I found paypal saying "We dont allow US merchants to make shippings to countries outside US". So I started saving our shipping data to my own database and left paypal to process shipping amount (which is calculated on my end) only. now, issue is that I want paypal to not to ask for the shipping address at their's end as it would be confusing for a user. Any suggestions regarding this?
I'm not sure you can do that unless you flag all your products as digital (and hope Paypal doesn't notice). That might be a violation of their TOS, however.
Another option is to use Payments Pro and do your own checkout process, where you control what data is collected and passed along (and shipping data is definitely optional).
This question asked before but didn't got any answer.Maybe things have been changed.
When you click the Express Checkout PayPal button on any webshop, it redirects you to a specific paypal login link, for paying the order.
I have been searching high and low for 3 weeks for a simple paypal php curl script that logs you in from this step, and confirms the payment, but have not been able to find anything.
I found out it is not possible to use the API for this, so its gotta be done by CURL.
I'm asking for this because I run a dropshipping website, and would like to automate certain steps, like placing and paying orders. A working code for this would help not just me, but all looking to automate buying in some form.
Thank's!
You can't log the buyer into PayPal when you redirect them to the site. The buyer has to enter their own account credentials themselves.
If you wanted to bill a buyer without requiring they log into PayPal each time you would need to use billing agreements (reference transactions) through Express Checkout. If you set up a billing agreement with a buyer you can charge a previously successful sale to bill them again for a different amount.
You cannot do what you want with Express Checkout, especially since nobody will ever enter the paypal details on your website (that is the entire point of paypal).
You can use either preapproved payments (buyers preappove payments being taken out of their account up to a certain ceiling), or reference transactions (you reference a new transaction to an older transaction. PayPal will then use the billing details of this earlier transaction to bill the user).
Preapproved payments is part of Adaptive Payments. Documentation is at https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/
You can find more details about Reference Transactions at https://cms.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECReferenceTxns
Note: Reference Transactions needs to be enabled on your account. This API call is not open to everyone due to the potential for abuse, so you may want to look into whether you're eligible for it before you start working on a full integation with it.
You can find more info here :https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Merchant-services-Archive/Does-Paypal-have-a-quot-Token-Payments-quot-concept/td-p/325794
Also google "token payments" as that is what you need and most payment gateways usually support them.
