How to Get 2 Payment Checkout Options (Pay with PayPal + Pay with Credit Card)

[AlexanderG]

Currently I only get "Pay Using PayPal" icon when people check out.

I've seen a second option "Pay Using PayPal" and "Pay Using Credit Card". Does this second option become available when you upgrade to PayPal Pro for $30/month?

And if so, what are the additional benefits besides having a dedicated button to checkout "Pay with Credit Card" to justify the $30/month?

Thank you

Having a separate checkout button for card payment helps buyers realize they can pay you directly with their card, as some buyers may not be aware they can usually pay with a card on PayPal's checkout site even if they don't have a PayPal account. To get that button, you can add any of the other payment services listed here:

How do you want to accept payments?

PayPal Payments Pro is a $30/mo upgrade with PayPal, which is probably overkill unless you also need to charge "offline" card payments for in-person/phone/fax/mailorder sales. PayPal Payments Advanced is only a $5/mo upgrade, whereas I think 2Checkout, Stripe and Braintree only have a transaction fee comparable to PayPal's with no additional monthly/setup fees. Braintree is also a PayPal subsidiary, so you could link your Braintree and PayPal accounts if you wish.

Ok. I'm beginning to understand this more.

I want to stick with PayPal without having to create additional logins on another payment processing site for now.

So if I upgrade to PayPal Advanced for $5 I can begin to include "Pay with Credit Card" in addition to having "Pay with PayPal" button?

There is another button that comes with PayPal Advanced and that's "Pay Using PayPal Credit". Is there a way to remove that option from the cart?

Correct, and the separate card checkout button will appear in your cart automatically when you enable PayPal Payments Advanced in your E-junkie Profile.

PayPal requires us to show that option when the buyer's payment total is $99 or more, so there's no way to hide it; however, it doesn't affect you, as PayPal handles the financing at their end. Buyers who choose PayPal Credit would appear the same as regular PayPal checkouts from your perspective.

Ok. Perfect.

One last question.

If using Stripe with PayPal Standard. Will both buttons show up "Pay with Credit Card" and "Pay with PayPal" or would I need to link Stripe with PayPal?

[E-junkie_Guru]

Both buttons will show up, no need to link Stripe with PayPal.

Thank you very much for the help.
