[SOLVED] Force payments with credit card through PayPal, but without a PayPal account was created by andor

I want our members to be able to pay with a credit card through PayPal, without having to signup for an account with PayPal.

The option "Pay by card" at PayPal's side doesn't always show, for various reasons.

In my contact with PayPal they said:

You can add / edit these blocks in the source code of your buttons to get the tab "pay by card" unfolded by default:

<input type="hidden"> name="solution_type" value="Sole"
<input type="hidden"> name="landing_page" value="Billing"

or pass the variables SOLUTIONTYPE = Sole and Billing = LandingPage in the initialization of the API call along the other variables.

I'm not so used to work behind the scenes with these kind of issues. Do you know how I could take advantage of the information I got from PayPal?

Or do you know of any other solution to make the "Pay by card" option always visible?

Joomla 2.5.13
CB 1.9.1
CBSubs 3.0.0

Use single payments only and you'll see the credit card page in addition to the option of logging in. Recurring subscriptions are impossible without a PayPal account. There's no need to edit the gateway, but if you insist on making the edits you can do so with the below.

IN: /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbpaidsubscriptions/processors/paypal/cbpaidsubscriptions.paypal.php
ON: Lines 197 - 198
FROM:

							'cmd'			=>	'_xclick'						//TBD: check for compatibility
						);

TO:

							'cmd'			=>	'_xclick',						//TBD: check for compatibility
							'solution_type'	=>	'Sole',
							'landing_page'	=>	'Billing'
						);

You said: "Use single payments only..." - in the payment gateway for PayPal in CBSubs or for our PayPal account?

I've set the "Enable PayPal" for the PayPal gateway to "Enable single payments".

If you set your gateway to user choice then your plans need to be set to single payments. If you set your gateway to single payments then your plans can be user choice or single payments. It's entirely up to you which you use, but both will accomplish the same thing of only allowing single payments through PayPal. Once done and making a purchase PayPal will not require the purchaser to have a PayPal account and can instead use the credit card form if they want. This assumes "PayPal Account Optional" is set to "On" within your PayPal account in "Website preferences".

It looks as if the "PayPal Account Optional" did it :woohoo:
