fmerrill Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Has this been posted already somewhere and I missed it? It appears as if PayPal has now made it optional to have an account when paying merchants. You can now pay, then after payment they offer the option of creating an account. Minor details about it can be seen by logging into your account and looking at your Profile: Website Payments Preferences. Look at the bottom of that screen. Per the website: "This feature is available for Buy Now, Donations, and Shopping Cart buttons, but not for Subscription buttons." I haven't tested this at all yet, but if it has been tested, how does this interface (if at all) with current PayPal payment methods and osC? If this has been mentioned, please disregard.

Chris Dunning Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Wow! That's pretty cool. Apparently it's turned on by default - I don't remember seeing it before, and it's already enabled on my account. I will be testing this out this afternoon!

Chris Dunning Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I took a look at this today. Apparently, no account is required - but there are still several pages involved. There isn't much difference between the old method of creating an account and the new method. Most of the information was already populated for me - that's a good sign! PayPal already knew the shipping and billing addresses and put that information into the proper places 99% of the time. I don't think it's cookie based - PayPal knows me when I go into their site and automatically inputs my PayPal email address into the payment screen. However, when I tried the "I've never used PayPal before" link, it used the address information from my test account in my store. I'm impressed at their new development, but I'm not closing my merchant account just yet. Quote Chris Dunning osCommerce, Contributions Moderator Team Please do not send me PM!

pbreit Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 That's correct: buyers no longer need to set up an account when paying through PayPal. This currently works for Buy Now (which OSCommerce and all of the contributions use) and Shopping Cart, but not Subscriptions. Unfortunately, our International team was busy with PayPal Germany and ELMI and so the feature does not yet work for non-US buyers. This is a topp priority, however. This modification applies primarily to buyers who have not used PayPal previously. The 40+ million existing PayPal users will not see much of a difference since they already have accounts. We also rolled out some other features that merchants and developers have been requesting. Most notably, more ability to customize payment pages with color and graphics. See http://paypal.typepad.com for more information. Quote Patrick Breitenbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian MacMillan Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Is there anyway to edit this so that it says "Credit Card - Via PayPal" instead of "PayPal" on checkout_payment.php?

bobg7 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Is there anyway to edit this so that it says "Credit Card - Via PayPal" instead of "PayPal" on checkout_payment.php? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Backup and edit /catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php That should do it.

Loopix Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 How do you implement this into your site? I have downloaded it... do i just move the paypal.php file in, then direct it towards it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbastow Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 This all seems fantastic, but it just doesn't work with mine. When I started the paypal account, it was defaulted to allow a user to not have to sign up, but when I test it live, it's giving the option of either signing in or signing up. Am I missing something? :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbastow Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Did you check your account settings at paypal? I followed the Paypal document, and found that my settings seemed to be correct by default - I have Auto-Return on, and I have Account Optional on. Is there any other setting I'm missing? I've scoured the Profile pages for more settings that might work, to no avail! Janna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelus Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 nobody noticed that if the customer is registered with paypal the autoreturn to the shop works but if a customer not registered with paypal pays with the credit card they MUST click return to merchant button otherwise the seller receives the payment with no order is in the database? someone has a solution for this? thanks!!!
