Can Shopify support PayPal Express integration for credit card payments?

[vitalka87]

Hello,

I did a simple PayPal express integration on my shop. I saw on the Paypal website that they support payment with a credit card. You can see this in the attached picture. Is it possible with Shopify? Ordos Shopify support plugins? I am willing to hire a developer to get this done for me. Thanks in advanced.

Hi, @vitalka87.

Depending on the region, you can enable guest payments for your store's PayPal Express Checkout, and this will allow your customers to pay with their credit card without needing a PayPal account.

Activating this feature will require that you link your own credit card to your PayPal business account, and you'll then need to change the settings in your PayPal account by following the instructions in this guide. As mentioned however, because this feature is only available for some regions, you can contact the PayPal support team directly if you'd like to confirm whether or not this feature applies to your region. More information about this can be found in our help guide here.

To confirm however, are you looking to simply allow customers to pay using their credit card on PayPal, or to also specifically enter their credit card details directly on your store's checkout page?

The reason that I ask is because customers can enter their credit card details directly on a store's checkout page, as per the highlighted section in my screenshot above, if the store is using either Shopify Payments or a third-party payment gateway that supports the direct checkout feature. 

Not all third-party payment gateways support the direct checkout feature, however, and those that do would also often call it on-site checkout or integrated checkout. Some popular third-party gateways that support this feature include:

• Authorize.net
• Stripe
• Braintree

So I'd just like to make sure that I'm understanding your request here, because even with enabling guest payments on your PayPal Express Checkout, your customers won't be able to enter their credit card details directly on your store's checkout page. They'll still be required to click on that yellow PayPal button that you see on the screenshot, and it'll then take them to PayPal's gateway to allow them to enter their credit card details there.
