About Guest Payments With the introduction of Guest Payments feature in Adaptive Payments web flow, users can now complete a payment by simply using a credit card. This capability allows developers to highlight and market credit card acceptance and increase their conversion rate by simply redirecting users to PayPal.com. Benefits Some of the benefits of Guest Payments for developers are as follows: No need to become PCI compliant as the credit card information is collected on PayPal.com Same level of PayPal security for your credit card paying customers. Leverage all existing features of Adaptive Payments such as parallel or chained payments. Accepts credit card payments from your customer globally as this feature is launched internationally. How it works Developers are not required to perform any re-integration to take advantage of this new feature. Since this feature is introduced as part of the new Payment web flow, customers will be able to leverage guest payments when they get redirected to PayPal.com to complete a payment. Limitations Although Guest Payments phase-1 was launched in June 2010 as it was the number one ask from our developer community it does have certain limitations some of which will be addressed in phase-2 next year.

In EU countries, a maximum of 10 Guest payments are allowed per user after which user is forced to open a PayPal account.  Note if a user uses different email address then he/she can make another 10 guest payments. This is not a product restriction but part of EU regulations which will be lifted in near future. This restriction does not apply for NA and ROW.
