I know that this is "In Development" but has anyone got paypal express checkout to work with their installation of OpenCart?
So far I am getting A LOT of php errors when I try and run this payment extension.
And maybe I don't really understand the difference between direct payment and express checkout...
or maybe you don't know the difference between "ready" and "in development" 
It's not quite ready to be used yet.
The difference between the difference paypal payments are easily explained from paypals image examples:
Paypal Standard:
Paypal Express:

I don't quite understand the difference between normal PayPal and PayPal Express. I always thought the latter is just a sort of a guest checkout scenario from Opencart's perspective. Or am I mistaken?

yeah, mostly paypal express stores shipping+billing info and processes the transaction a little quicker.
mostly i'm looking for a way to accept credit cards with out having to either pay for a merchant account (paypal , authorize.net, etc. 3rd party) or buy an ssl certificate and use paypal's free api. i know that you can use a credit card to pay for donations with paypal- and you enter your credit card info on paypal's site (without having a paypal acct).
anyone know any free 3rd party cc processing options? ideally it would be through paypal...

I have a client and they absolutely want a simple checkout where the customer doesn't have to signup or login.
I read that Paypal Express was a solution to this but I see its not finished.
How much longer until paypal express is working? They are trying to get me to work around it but I don't want to hack the cart up.
I would love for there to be an option in admin to allow people to checkout without signing up, for some reason many people will almost buy a product but then when they see they have to sign up they cancel!

are you talking about signing up for paypal or the sign up step in open cart?

otherwise it's just a matter of removing the create account step, which i'm guessing has been discussed in this forum somewhere...Qphoria wrote:Well normal Paypal you can pay by CC if you are a premier or business account. Its free to upgrade your account. That would work with any paypal option.
Well its a little more to it I think.. As the customer information needs to be passed to the order, so there is no current code to handle the order if there is no customer. It won't even let you get that far. So its really a tangent direction from the cart page/checkout button.
Login/Create account down path A
or
No Account Path B, but still enter all the address and stuff in opencart
or
Express Method Path C, enter data on the paypal page OR login to paypal, and paypal will reply back to opencart with all the info and you need to take that info and populate it into the order.

I have had people contacting me asking me to develop a fast checkout (not registering with the shop) but so far I have convinced them that it is beneficial for both the customer and the vendor but I am staring to think that it should be a feature and we should at least give the customer the option.

my apologies if this is beating a dead horse: but i'm having a hard time sorting through the thousands of paypal options. what exactly does paypal call this feature (accepting/processing credit cards on their site) and how would i implement this with open cart? i'd imagine it would be done without having a paypal account- because if a paypal acct is required to pay with a creditcard it would defeat this whole purpose entirely.Qphoria wrote:Well normal Paypal you can pay by CC if you are a premier or business account.

and i think that future developments of open cart could use an opt-out function for checkout registration. though i would say there are more pressing issues to be done first (like removing inline styling...)
anyhow, many thanks to all.
If you have a paypal premier or business account, then log into paypal and do the following
From the main page, click "Profile"
From that page click "Website Payment Preferences"
From that page make sure "Paypal account Optional" is set to YES
You should optionally enable AutoReturn (tho this cart doesn't support clientside confirmations)

I was a little confused at first, but this is what I did and it seems to work fine.
I already had a paypal business account. I made sure that my paypal buttons (go to where you can create paypal "pay now" buttons) were email address configured not encrypted. Then I took my email address associated with my paypal biz account and entered it into the regular "paypal" module that was in opencart and chose "sales" and "enable". (I made it my only payment method) Done.
I've tested it and everything carries over to a paypal check out page and then when the order is finalized on paypals page, it gives the buyer the option to return to my opencart store page. I hope this answers your question.

YES please let me know if you implement this option! I have tried to convince clients why registering is beneficial, but some still are really adamant about offering a quick (no signup) buy to maximize sales. I think this feature would be a really beneficial addition to opencart.phpuk wrote:I have had people contacting me asking me to develop a fast checkout (not registering with the shop) but so far I have convinced them that it is beneficial for both the customer and the vendor but I am staring to think that it should be a feature and we should at least give the customer the option.
