PayPal Button Redirects to Log-in

[Benzlady]

I am using the Infinity Pro theme. On a page I'm creating, I entered the PayPal code in the text tab, saved it and viewed the page to test the button. It redirects to Paypal log-in.

Spoke with PayPal tech and they found no issues with the code. Any directions or suggestions here?

How do you expect them to pay with PayPal if they don't login?

Not everyone has a Pp account. When I pay via Paypal for a product I'm not asked to login

the buy now button should direct people directly to a check out page

This really has nothing to do with the Genesis Framework or your theme, however, make sure you have either a premiere or business account and check that the PayPal Account Optional: radio button is set to on the Website Payment Preferences accessible from My Selling Tools under your profile options.

If you can't get it working, you should use a proper eCommerce tool or try Stripe.

Hi Benzlady,

I quickly created a PayPal button that goes nowhere and it worked.

However, it did provide a box for the PayPal member to login in which to use their account. It also had a spot at the bottom for those who do not have a PPal account or prefer to pay with a credit card.

I could not upload an image to show you so perhaps it will display from my site here:

Hi MT1895,

Yes that's the box that I see from my button as well. I'm now understanding this gives the customer 2 options either to login to paypal or use their credit card to complete the transaction.

Thank you for chiming in. I guess this is Ppals shopping cart afterall.

Glad to help.

If you are using PayPal as your only money/cart gateway then "BE SURE" to make it clear that your customers do not need a PayPal account to buy and to just use the option at the bottom of the page.

I can't remember the language I used as it was short, to the point and a long time ago (most people don't do a lot of reading and you don't want to miss sells because of it as I did).

I now use ThriveCart to handle my transaction as my site generates a nice income now and I can afford the services of a cart which will handle credit cards, PayPal, Stripe and more.

MT1895 you are so right. I am concerned that people won't read and I'll miss the sell. I am not ready for a shopping cart expense so I'll have to tread along with PP.
I'll make a note about the cc option so people will understand.
