I am using PayPal Standard to process orders. I have the "Paypal Account Optional" feature set to on, which makes it possible to accept payments from customers who dont have paypal accounts. OpenCart is the shopping system that i am using.

This is the screen that is displayed when a customer want to purchase goods:

When you click the "Don't have a PayPal account?" link, the tab is expanded:

Is it possible to have this tab expanded by default, perhaps through the code that is sent to the site in the first place, with the order details?

I found out that PayPal stores a cookie when you log in. If you have a user on PayPal, it will show the "Log in" tab. If you have never used PayPal, or you have deleted the cookie, paypal will show the "Guest Payment" tab.

I can live with this, but it would still be nice to always have it show the Guest Payment by default.

  • This is not possible with PayPal Standard. If you were to start using PayPal Express Checkout, you can send the 'LANDINGPAGE=Billing' parameter in the SetExpressCheckout API call, which will take care of this for you. – Robert Apr 12 '12 at 02:14
