Account Optional or Website Payments Express
Account Optional (also known as Website Payments Express) is a Profile setting that allows
customers new to PayPal to pay you by credit card without signing up for a PayPal account,
thus shortening their time and effort.
Customers who have PayPal accounts go through the same Website Payments page sequence
shown in Figure 1.1, “Basic Website Payments Standard Page Sequence” on page 15.
Customers who are new to PayPal go through a page sequence that does not require PayPal
signup, with the option to sign up after completing the payment.
