justrightcandles Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 For those of you who use pay pal how do you set it up so that your customers have the option to pay by credit card if they want to without having a pay pal account. On pay pal it says i can do that with a premier acct which i have but i can't seem to make it work! HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpowell Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have my site set up like that. Are you using a shopping cart program or the paypal one? I may be able to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justrightcandles Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 PayPal Account OptionalWhen this feature is turned on, your customers will go through an optimized checkout experience. This feature is available for Buy Now, Donations, and Shopping Cart buttons, but not for Subscription buttons. Learn More PayPal Account Optional:OnOffyou mean this? i have tried it with it on and off. and it gives the option to set up a pay pal acct or sign in with pay pal when it is on it but nothing about not using pay pal.

dpowell Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 So, when the payment method is chosen as paypal does the screen say " Pay Fast With PayPal It’s free and private. Merchants never see your financial info." and then below that "Don't have an account?" "Use your credit card or bank account (where available)."I don't remember having to set anything special up for that. I do have paypal IPN on for both my zencart and my paypal account.If you have that then it's set right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justrightcandles Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 no it just says creat a pay pal acct or log in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStreetDesigns Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 If you are using Mals, I believe all of the setup for PayPal is right there in Mals. If the customer is going to use a credit card, they will need to select the PayPal option and pay that way (no need to sign up for an account).Otherwise, if you want them to input the credit card through Mals, you would need to sign up for PayPal Payments Pro or Web Payments Pro.

And on pay pal i have the premier acct and that says that customers can use credit cards with out having a pay pal acct. ****Website Payments Pro - Premium accounts onlyExpress Checkout plus a credit card payment option (for people who don't want to pay by PayPal!)

dpowell Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Website payments standard through Paypal will give you what you want for free. It is compatible with Mals. This is very similar to what I'm doing with Zencart. You need to setup IPN with paypal and use the Website Payments Standard through Mals. The link below should help you with that.http://www.mals-e.com/paypal.phpThis link will help you with the Paypal end of the setup:https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-standard-integrationIn order to use Paypal Website Payments Pro you would need to sign up for with Paypal and it costs $20 / month.http://https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-pro-overviewHope that helps.

I want to be like on thecandlesource.com website and a few others where it says "pay fast with pay pal" or"Don't have a a paypal account" and then it lets you pay by credit card. maybe it is a mals acct problem or with pay pal. which i have emailed both this morning. (sigh) i don't know i am missing something.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStreetDesigns Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I believe where it is saying Premium Accounts only in Mals, means you have to have a premium Mals account in order to use the PayPal Website Payments Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpowell Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Probably, but you should be able to use website payments standard instead of pro with mals according to paypal.That will let you have the credit card through paypal from customers without a paypal account option you are looking for.

justrightcandles Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Well i figured one thing out. i had it set on the mals part to put the pay pal express checkout button on the main page with no other payments. but now that i changed it still doesn't look like part that me and dpowell was taking about" Pay Fast With PayPal It’s free and private. Merchants never see your financial info."and then below that "Don't have an account?" "Use your credit card or bank account (where available)."it looks like it is trying to accept a credit card thru mals....but that can't be...i have it set for pay pal....awwww i am in shopping cart hell....

justrightcandles Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 i did it i did it!!!!on this part of mals: Don't use PayPal!Website Payments StandardUsing the standard Web accept payment method to transfer the customer to PayPal to pay.Express CheckoutLike the standard method only with tighter integration in the cart.Website Payments Pro - Premium accounts onlyExpress Checkout plus a credit card payment option (for people who don't want to pay by PayPal!)i had the last one checked and i just now changed it to the second one and i finally got to the part where it looks like everyone elses and gives you a choice of pay pal or credit card..Praise the lord!!
