Website Payment Preferences Missing...

All,

I am new to the whole web development arena. I have a site and shop designed and I was setting up the payment method in SCC. I set it up as Paypal Standard and went to Paypal to get my identity token per SCC's help instructions.

So, I logged into Paypal and clicked on profile as the instructions state. The next step says to click "Website Payment Preferences" under "Selling Preferences". I would love to do this but unfortunately, "Website Payment Preferences" is not even displayed under my Selling Preferences. Does anyone have an idea on what is wrong with my Paypal account that "Website Payment Preferences" isn't available?

Also, in searching this forum for possible answers I saw a post on allowing users who do not have a Paypal account to make payments using a credit card through Paypal. I want to use this option but one of the posts I read said that you have to set the Selling Preferences>Website Payment Options>Paypal Account Optional on..

I did find a help screen regarding Website Payment Preferences but the "Paypal Account Optional" was not on the help screen.. So, does this still apply? Is is someplace else?

Appreciate any help or idea's you can toss my way :D

Well, I figured that one out right after creating this post...

It would have been helpful if my account would have been a business account.. Upgraded to business account and all is well that ends well..

Hiya Doug,

Glad you got it worked out, sometimes we just don't know till we try something lol, and sometimes we bonk ourselves over head when we find it lol. Good luck on the shop :)

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
