Why is the appointments+ paypal express checkout page different to marketpress triggered paypal chec

Seems that when a customer goes to pay for their appointment they only get the basic payment page; i.e. pay with your paypal account whereas they should see options to pay with credit card.

It’s working fine with marketpress plugin and I have ticked the box in appointments+ settings to integrate with marketpress.

Puzzled as to why this would be happening.

all f the setting seem correct

    hiya

    when you integrated with marketpress, did you add the appointments calendar as a product item?

    if you’re just going to a normal appointments page then it will be using apps+ paypal setup. but if you add an appointment as a product, it will use marketpress.

    though i haven’t really tried it like this before. let me just ask the developer for clarification.

    hope this helps.

    Hi Vaughan,

    yes I did add the appointments calendar as a product item.

    If the integration between appointments+ and marketpress works why would it present a different paypal page?

    The API between marketpress and paypal is active and working so why doesn’t appointments+ use it.

    My customers don’t care about the difference between an appointment as a product and an appointment nor should that matter.

    How to I make appointments+ use the right paypal page ?

    Seems strange that two of your plugins don’t use the same interface.

    Need a fix asap please; what’sthe workaround??

    Hello,

    I’m sorry but I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue you described. Purchasing an Appointment product (as opposed to, as @Vaughan explained, just getting an appointment from a standalone page) passes control on to MarketPress, and I landed on exact same type of PayPal page, which also had the option of paying with a credit card. Can you please make sure that you’re actually trying to purchase an appointment product (i.e. your appointment URL is nested under your store slug, e.g. example.com/store/products/appointments/ )?
