    Hi Friends, Paypal is a mystery for me:

    I have already paid merchant who uses paypal and paid them with my credit card WITHOUT EVER creating a paypal account.

    Now I have also a paypal account not tight to any credit card or bank account cause I don't want to for security reason, and so I try to create a link to accept payment by credit card but it forces the payer to register a paypal account.

    How to manage payment by credit card without forcing this registration as in the first case ?

    Thanks.

    if you have paypal business account,I think your buyer should not have to login at paypal first and I think they already should not have to register at paypal.paypal already do that I believe

    You should be a Premier or Business account holder in order to accept direct credit card payments. Otherwise you cannot. I beleive you should also be a verified member but I am not sure of that.

    How did you manage to pay to a paypal account without having a paypal account yourself in the first instance? :confused:

    Since you were able to do it earlier, the rules might have changed as of now....imo

    There is no way to do so.
    Since you want your client to pay to your paypal,then the buyer must register a paypal account so that he can paid you using CC.

    This is wrong. The only way is to actually sign up for a Premier or Business account. Having a regular Personal account will result in them having to create a paypal account themselves in order to pay you.

    This question has been answered many times already here. Simple search will get the answer.

    Anyway, a buyer does not need to be a paypal user in order to pay using cc on a merchant's site. When i say merchant, he/she is using a premier/business account.
