Choosing which PayPal checkout form to use

Question

We send people to PayPal to either donate or subscribe to our site.

We have guest access enabled, when you start a fresh session and navigate to our donate page and click the button, you get a nice 'guest' checkout page.

Guest checkout form

But, if you log in to PayPal and then logout again, you don't get this form on your next donate, you get the 'login' form.

Login checkout form

I'd like to be able to force all users to the Guest form if possible. I know that there are a bunch of features not available to us lowly 'donate button' users (as opposed to Express Checkout and the like) but surely I could pass a param that forced the Guest form?

Answering my own question here.

Can you force PayPal Payments Standard API to show credit card fields first?

Is it possible to have PayPal standard expand the 'Guest Payments' tab by default?

Its all based on the PayPal cookie and there's nothing that allows you to override that.

EDIT This has been confirmed by PayPal support.

If there is a cookie, or if you provide an email like WooCommerce does by default PayPal will assume you have an account. See my answer in Paypal Payment Standard default enter card details
