os_paypal forcing people to create a PayPal account was created by ozwest
I would like to use the os_paypal payment plugin.
People from Europe (Switzerland) can not make a payment without signing up for a PayPal account, so they would be forced to open an account. Not so in other countries as in Australia.
Are you aware of this? Can this be changed somehow, not everybody wants to have a PayPal account.
Thank you

Hi
Unfortunately, this is all handled by PayPal and we have no way to change it
There are some tips which you can try, see eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/trouble...-available-on-paypal
If it is not success, then I am afraid of PayPal creating users in your country and we could not change the behavior

Hello Tuan
I did some investigating with PayPal and found out that PayPal REALLY does force people in Switzerland to sign up for a PayPal account if they want to pay with a credit card.
I thought this might be a valuable information for others in this forum.
Thanks
Petra

Thanks Petra for the useful information. I wish PayPal had a clear documentation about this case but sadly, they don't
