Is it possible to make a donation button in my website with choices? Whether Paypal or Credit Card?

I already created a donation button and tested it in sandbox and it worked, what I want to do is before the donor clicks the donate button, I want them to choose first whether Credit Card or PayPal Account, if they choose credit card, they will fill the form and redirect to PayPal. I don't want them to choose credit card at PayPal site because it is so small that it can barely seen.

Let me give you an idea.

Your Question: If they choose credit card, they will fill the form and redirect to PayPal.

Answer: This can be done, however you will invoke SOLUTIONTYPE=SOLE and LANDINGPAGE=BILLING (this will work using PayPal buttons; I have tested this first hand)

Answer: Technically it could be done, however it is an unsecured method of using a customers credit and sort of defeats the purpose of using PayPal as a payment method; invalidates security. If you post credit card data from your; let's say secure form, it is still vulnerable to a post sniff where hackers can steal the cc info vs. having the customer manually entering their credit card info on a hosted secure paypal page.

Note Maybe use PayPal advanced which is $5 a month; use a secure hosted Iframe, where a customer can pay with a credit card on site with no redirect. Like: http://www.ggsalsa.com/salsa-menu.html#!/~/checkoutPD; put fake email and checkout with credit card to see.

It is not possible to open up the credit card field on the paypal checkout page using website Payments Standard buttons(like donations,buy now etc)But,you can automatically fill the address related fields and pass it to checkout page.

You can display the credit card tab only in express checkout using LANDINGPAGE=Billing
