I integrated Paypal into my mobile APP and I use the REST API Calls. If I pay the ordeers using paypal account, It works succesfully, but if I use Direct Credit Card Payment (when the user doesn't have the paypal account), Paypal System return an error:
"The merchant does not accept payments of this type"
I don't found in my Paypal Dashboard where this payment type could be enabled.
Could you please help me?
Thanks Luca
Following are checklist you should verify, probably following is the basic reasons for an error.
1: Be sure the merchant account has Pro permissions. Also, be sure the app has gone through the developer-approval process.
2: Also, be sure the app has been approved. The app has basic permissions until you submit it for approval.
3: You may have a Business account but to accept credit card payments in the live environment your account must be approved for Paypal.
4: You should contact PayPal Developer Support. File a ticket at PayPal merchant technical Support. Click on the Contact Technical Support link to file a ticket.
5: You can call to PayPal Customer Care, They will verify your name, DOB, Verification Code (Code will be shown in your PayPal Dashboard in Customer support page) etc, they will fix your issue in a minute or they will help you to fix your issue.
As per my experience to solve this issue I had to subscribe to the Website Payments Pro Hosted Solution.
There is no setup fee but there is a monthly fee and a transaction fee.
