Allow buyers to check out with PayPal without needing a PayPal account.
Buyers may not have or want a PayPal account to complete a purchase from your Format Store, so you can allow Guest Checkout via PayPal.
To enable Guest Checkout in your Format Store, you need to change a preference within your PayPal Business Account settings.
Q: Do I need to enable guest checkout if I use Stripe?
A: No. This article applies only when PayPal is your connected payment processor. If your Store uses Stripe instead, Members already check out without creating any account, by card or with Apple Pay, so there's no separate guest checkout setting to turn on.
