Authorization & Capture for no paypal users

Question

Is Authorization & Capture payal feature available for users who don't have a paypal account? Is it mandatory for my users to have an account? I have a business account. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes, I tested this on the sandbox and it works just fine running an authorization with guest checkout.

You do need to make sure you have "PayPal Account Optional" enabled in your PayPal profile, and then you need to make sure and include SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole&LANDINGPAGE=Billing in your SetExpressCheckout request.

This will give the users the ability to checkout with guest checkout (credit card without creating a PayPal account) and you can do Auth & Capture just fine this way based on my tests.
