I have an application that needs to accept credit card as the payment method. The customers will enter their credit card info on my website. PayPal API supports direct credit card payment but I'm not sure if it is allowed in my country (Philippines).

If you were referring to Direct Credit Card Payments (REST API), the PayPal REST API supports direct credit card payments, which are credit card payments without a separate web approval flow, in the following countries:

Canada
United States
United Kingdom

Please refer to:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/rest_api_payment_country_currency_support/#direct-credit-card-payments

So no, unfortunately it is not currently available in the Philippines.

REST is not available in Canada - even though the documentation says it is. We went through the whole exercise to put the API in place to find out it's not available - and probably will never be available. This is directly from the Partner Program head.
