I've put a very simple website together for a customer and now they asked if it can have a buy online function.

As there are only a few products, I suggested Paypal as I've done it before in the past.

Now... When a potential customer looks at the one I have done previously and clicks to buy online, they get the option to log into their Paypal account to make a payment OR if they don't have a Paypal account, they can purchase using their debit or credit cards.

This new site, I've set up the same way but when you go through to make a payment, you don't get the option to pay by cards!!! I'm not sure if I missed something or where I find to add this option.

 

Can anyone shine some light on it for me please before the client chews my ear off? ;o)

 

 

Many thanks

you're not logged into paypal already or something?

No I'm logged out at the mo.

Just trying to work out how potential customers can pay using their cards if they dont have a Paypal account ;o(

seems to be a standard feature https://cms.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?&cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_buynow_buttons page down to see how the Checkout Experience works. Ive not read through to see if there are any nuggets that could explain why you don't get it.

In paypal did you choose the accept credit cards on your website its under the business tab

No.... Where is that option?

I set it up using a PayPal Dreamweaver extension

What code are you using for the button? And could you post or PM me a link? I have experience with PayPal IPN & buttons.

you have all the documentation needed in the paypal account
