PayPal payments: Default to 'Pay with Credit Card' instead of loggin in with a PayPal Account

Tags:

I have seen this done before so I know it's possible - when you redirect to a PayPal checkout from your site, paypal presents you with 2 options to make a payment. One is "Login with PayPal Account" and the other one is something like "Don't have a PayPal account? Pay with Credit/Debit Card". By default the second option is collapsed, but I've seen sites where it's uncollapsed by default. How can I achieve this effect?

NB - previous posts suggested that it's done by cookies, and if PayPal detects that you have a PayPal account it will display the first option (login with PayPal). However I've seen other sites that display the 'Credit/Debit' card option uncollapsed even if you've got a paypal account. Do they clear the cookies somehow before redirecting you to PayPal?

Thanks

How do I use PayPal instead of my credit card?

How do I use PayPal Credit? To use PayPal Credit, simply checkout using PayPal and select PayPal Credit as your payment method.

Can I make PayPal my default payment method?

All you need to do is select your option in your payment section of the account setting. Once you choose a method, you can see it as a preferred payment option when you purchase in-store or online. You can also see this setting when sending money through services.

Why can't I use PayPal to pay even if I have funds on my account?

Don't worry: the issue is often easy to fix. PayPal doesn't allow recurring payments unless you have credit cards or bank accounts linked to it, and they need to have enough funds as well.
