I have integrated paypal express checkout on my website. Currently with paypal account Pay as go and recurring/subscription payment both works as expected.
Now I am trying to integrate credit/debit card purchases for my website.
At first , in order to do that I have enabled "PayPal Account Optional" is "ON" in my PayPal account and set following on express checkout parameters SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole and LANDINGPAGE=Billing. After doing these steps
for only pay as go payment on paypal site "Check out as a guest" option showing but for recurring/subscription payment "Check out as a guest" is not showing.
Please kindly guide me on following:
What I have to do in express checkout functionality in order to enable paying through credit/debit card directly ?
Why paying through credit/debit is not showing for recurring/subscription payment ?
Whether it's possible or not to integrate credit/debit card functionality with express checkout?
Thank you in advance for your guidance.
When working with Express Checkout and Recurring Payments the user has to create an account or sign in. Guest checkout is not available with recurring payments.
To setup profiles with credit cards you'll need to sign up for PayPal Payments Pro. Pro itself costs $30/mo, and then you'll have to add Recurring Billing on top of that, which is another $30/mo.
Sometimes they'll negotiate with you on those monthly fees depending on the volume you'll be doing. You may want to give PayPal a call.
Once that's all activated on your account you'll just use CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile on its own, and you'll pass the CC details directly into that. So you'll be building the CC form on your site, which means you'll need an SSL to protect it, and you'll need to make sure you don't save any credit card details on your own server in the database, in log files, or anywhere.

I just went from sandbox to live with my PayPal Express Checkout.
But when I try to use it, I get the following error:
You are not signed up to accept payment for digitally delivered goods.
My account is a business account and I have added express checkout as a payment option.
What other steps do I need to take, to get this function to work?
Answering my own question, which hopefully can help someone in the future:
I don't know what the exact problem was - the Express Checkout (Digital Goods) didn't show at my account, only the Express Checkout option was present.
I had to write PayPal, and they enabled it manually for me..
So if you're experiencing same issues, simply just write or call PayPal, and they will help you enable it.
Owner of account should call to PayPal to activate option to receive payments for Digital Goods.
"Enabling your PayPal Account for Digital Goods
Please contact your sales representative to enable your account for PayPal Digital Goods. Additionally, merchants in the US or Canada can contact either 1-855-477-5673 or 1-888-818-3922 to activate Digital Goods for their accounts."

Looks like you need to activate the digital good functionality in your business account

I seem to be unable to enable Live credentials to accept direct credit card payments for Paypal REST API. Here is what I do:
Log into http://developer.paypal.com
Go to application tab and click on my application name
In the ACCEPT PAYMENTS section it shows:
Accept credit cards directly Enabled for test only How to enable live credentials?
I click on 'How to enable live credentials' link, which further opens up the following:
Important Live credentials are disabled for this feature. To enable
direct credit card processing, please provide addition information
about yourself and your business.
To meet regulatory requirements, we need to collect your business details. This may include:
U.S Business owner Social Security Number, date of birth, and other personal details.
U.S Business Tax ID (EIN, ITIN) and other business information.
Get started
I click on the 'Get Started' Link and am only taken back to the My APP section of the Application tab.
After step 4 I went to go about trying to find a direct link to how to get the process started and came up with the following:
Followed the the following instructions:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/
While I do now have API Signature Credentials including, API username, API password, and Signature, it still only shows that for "Accept credit cards directly" I am only "Enabled for test only"
I would greatly appreciate any advise or alternative solution to get this fixed.
Thanks!

If you have US Personal PayPal Account in Live , You will not be able to Direct Credit Card Payments in Live . This is currently a Limitation. You need to upgrade to Business Account with Mobile Payment Library or Website Payments PRO Account as mentioned below. There is no ALternative available at this time

This seems like an easy question, but as a developer do I need payments pro on my business account to test out the mass pay API for a client? The app will eventually sit on their PayPal account and they have payments pro. Asking because I keep getting authentication errors and thought it may be because of this?
No. Your customer's PayPal account needs to get approved for Mass Payments, then they need to give you third party Mass Payments permissions. And you call the Mass Payments API on your customer's behalf. They just need to contact PayPal CS to get the approval process started.
I want to accept recurring payments on my site using paypal without having the user ever leave my site. Based on the paypal documentation it appears you have to send the user offsite to paypal (express checkout) first and then have them come back to your site.
Is their a different way of using the api so the user stays on site the entire time?
To Process payments not on PayPal's website, you need to use Website Payments Pro.
To use PayPal's recurring payment system, without programming your own:
Use Website Payments Pro Recurring Payments (direct payment recurring payments / DPRP)
Program your own recurring payment functionality:
Save cc info to a database and make DoDirectPayment API calls based on your criteria
Process an initial payment when someone signs up for your recurring service, save the transaction ID, and then call DoReferenceTransaction in the future (based on your criteria). Always use the newest transaction ID as they only last a year. Also, you need to call PayPal to apply for this feature ($0).
