When customers check out from your ShopCity.com store, PayPal acts as the transaction handler, or "payment gateway." In order for this to work, you need a business PayPal account. Enter the email address associated with your business PayPal account in the PayPal Email field under Store Settings in the Sell Online tab.
When you've set up your store, do a quick test run as a customer and go through the steps of buying an item. You don't have to go all the way to entering payment information to confirm that PayPal is activated.
When you get to the first PayPal screen, you should be provided a choice between checking out with a PayPal account or checking out with credit or debit card. If you don't see that selection, and the only choices are "Log In to PayPal" or "Check Out as Guest," you'll need to update the settings in your business PayPal account to accept credit and debit.
- Log in to your PayPal business account
- Go to Settings > Account settings > Website payments
- Scroll down to the PayPal account optional section and set this to On (this will enable guest checkout that allows customers to pay via credit card, without having a PayPal account)
- Click Save to apply those changes
Run your test again and you should now be presented with a choice between checking out with a PayPal account or credit/debit. If you still don't, contact PayPal for further assistance.
