TIP: Even if your attendees have a PayPal account, they do not need to use that PayPal account to pay for your event. They can use a credit card without logging in to their PayPal account.

You, the event holder, must use the PayPal optional setting in your PayPal account to allow customers to pay by credit card without logging into a PayPal account.

Here's how to turn this setting on within your PayPal account:

Log in to your PayPal Account here and select the Profile tab.

Under Selling Preferences select the Website Payment Preferences link.

Scroll down the page to the section titled PayPal Account Optional and select On.

When registering, your attendees will be given the choice of signing in to their PayPal account or paying directly by Credit Card. View the attendee's check out process

If the attendee has a PayPal cookie on their computer (meaning, they've visited and/or signed up with PayPal in the past), they will see the below screen upon checking out. To pay via credit card without having to log in to a PayPal account, they simply need to click the Continue link next to the section Don't have a PayPal account?

On the next screen, the attendee will enter their credit card details and continue to confirm their transaction. They will not be required to log in to a PayPal account.
