PayPal Express Checkout with Pay with my credit or debit card (Optional) Sign up

I am using php to implement a PayPal Express Checkout as a payment method.

All I want for my users is their first option to be...

Pay with my credit or debit card
(Optional) Sign up for PayPal for faster future checkout

their second option should be...

Pay with my PayPal account
Log in to your PayPal account to complete the purchase

This is my form...

<form id="paypal_form" class="paypal" action="payments.php" method="post">
  <input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_xclick" />
  <input name="no_note" type="hidden" value="1" />
  <input name="lc" type="hidden" value="GR" />
  <input name="currency_code" type="hidden" value="EUR" />
  <input name="bn" type="hidden" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynow_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest" />
  <input name="item_number" type="hidden" value="1" />
  <input type="submit" value="Submit Payment with PayPal" />
</form>

I have already setup in my sandbox account

TYPE: BUSINESS
PayPal account's Profile -> More Options -> My Selling Tools -> Website Preferences -> PayPal Account Optional: ON

The result is that I get the screen...

Create a PayPal account
And pay with your debit or credit card

Any suggestions !?!?

Actually, to tell you the truth it works when I use the Opera browser and doesn't work with all the others (Firefox, IE 10, Google Chrome, Safari). Is that possible !?!? Check it out your self here... pp.my-soul.net/without-paypal-account – kanenas

It works fine if you add these parameters when you call setExpressCheckout method:

<input type=hidden name=SOLUTIONTYPE value=Sole>
<input type=hidden name=LANDINGPAGE value=Billing>

Was hard to find but I found it here: https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/pp_expresscheckout_advancedfeaturesguide.pdf

Hope it´s help!

The reason that you are not seeing this show up is because PayPal account optional is not available for every coutntry, and select cross border transactions. If you remove the following from being passed over in your code, you should see the same results in the browsers.

Add this simple input field to your Paypal Payment Form:

<input type="hidden" value="billing" name="landing_page">

Its fine works for me.

You can check Complete Paypal Payment Form:
