I have a question regarding PayPal integration with my website. I have a Premier account with PayPal. I tried integrating it with my website by adding a 'Buy Now' button. When I click on it it asks the end user to create a PayPal account. However, I want the users to be able to make a payment directly with their credit/debit card without creating a PayPal account.

I am not a technical guy, so I might have missed out on something. I want to know if it is possible to integrate paypal without me having to code something technically. Kindly advise.

I think you can do this with express checkout -- read their api docs about it. - chovy
And here is my answer with example url requests for Express Checkout. No account required, no shipping address(digital goods), show item details on checkout page and merchant transaction history. stackoverflow.com/a/16638936/185565 - Whome

According to PayPal, buyers do not need a PayPal account to pay you:

They can pay with their credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) — all without having a PayPal account.

To create the button, simply visit PayPal's button creator wizard and supply the required information. Once submitted, PayPal will autogenerate the HTML for you. See: Create PayPal payment button

This happened because the account was a PayPal account in UAE, and this feature is not enabled there yet.
