We are using Simple Membership Plugin on WP to have subscription levels for our users. When people go to checkout on Paypal if they don’t have a PayPal account it makes it so they need to set up a Paypal account to continue.
Our Business account has PayPal Account Optional turned on and we are wondering if there is a way to have guest checkout for subscription buttons for Paypal?
With subscriptions guest checkout is not available. The user would have to create a PayPal account.
If you don’t want this you’ll need to upgrade to Payments Pro w/ Recurring Billing.
Guest checkout now appears to be available for PayPal subscriptions in the US and Canada.
