PayPal merchant options

Two PayPal merchant account settings directly control what donors see on your BetterUnite donation pages: Direct Card Payments and Guest Checkout. Enable both in your PayPal account to allow donors to pay by card and check out without a PayPal login. 

Here are some settings for you to explore:

How do I turn on Direct Card Payments in PayPal?

Direct Card Processing is required to show payment card fields on your checkout form. If this is not enabled (the processor details page on your BetterUnite settings will indicate this status for you), you may follow this link to complete your PayPal onboarding application, or contact PayPal support directly to activate this capability. 

How do I turn on the Guest Checkout Experience in PayPal?

By enabling this feature, donors can use the PayPal button on the checkout page to make a payment without having a PayPal account login. When they click on the PayPal button, a 'Check out as guest' option will be presented in a pop-up window by PayPal. This functionality is particularly beneficial when using the embedded form, where it serves as the primary button displayed.

To activate this feature, you will need to adjust your settings in PayPal. Please follow these instructions by PayPal to make these adjustments on your account.
