I can't activate card payments with the PayPal module, help!

[elviabarrera2323]

Hello, I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance. I have the official PayPal module installed, but I don't know why the "pay by card" option isn't showing up. Please help.

 

I have PrestaShop version 1.7.8.1.1 and PHP 7.4 installed. I also have PrestaShop Checkout installed. However, I'm getting a configuration error. I'm not sure if it's because my PayPal account is different from my verification account.

Do you know how to do it?

To allow customers to pay you via credit or debit card, you need a PayPal Business Account. If you dont, its not possible for as far as i know.
