[SOLVED] CBSubs checkout with Paypal - bypass first page

Hullo,

By default, when customers purchase a subscription (on a CBSubs website) and using Paypal, they are taken to the Paypal page that has "Why use PayPal" text on the left with a link to pay without an account, and a login form on the right. Is it possible to bypass this page and go straight to the "Pay with Credit Card or Log In" page? I've had a look in the CBSubs settings and also in the Paypal settings and can't see an easy way to do this...

Cheerio

To an extent yes it can be customized. Please review the below regarding custom PayPal payment pages.

Hmm thanks but I don't think that's what I'm after - I just need to bypass the first page that comes up when someone checks out to Paypal, so that they can put in their credit card details immediately without having to click another link. I've seen other shopping carts do it - just not sure if it's something to be changed inside the Paypal account (can't find anything obvious), or perhaps the particular Paypal URL pointed to by CBSubs...
I've read that deleting browser cookies/cache can do this, but of course that's up to the user to do...

I doubt that Paypal's user-interface allows to input directly credit-cards, as that would be against their interest to have people signing-up, and probably against their agreements with credit-cards. However if there is a paypal-documented method to do so, without being a visa/mastercard merchant yourself, I would love to know about it

Here's the difference - currently going to this page:



However it's somehow possible to direct users straight to this page:

I understand that you like second page better for newcommers. However, users who never used paypal, aka do not have a paypal login will indeed see it. And users with a paypal login and a registered credit card inside the paypal login won't be able to use that credit card outside the paypal login on their credit-card form as a small added security provided by paypal.

This is explained here:

By paypal. It's also explained that there is no way to customize that logical behavior.

In addition, if customizable, it would confuse users with a paypal account if they try to enter their credit-card which is on the account without logging-in that their valid credit-card is refused.
