Pay through Paypal using a credit card - asp.net

I have a requirement of integrating paypal in one of my asp.net website.
But I need to have a facility that One could pay through Paypal by using a credit card even if they don't have a paypal account. For credit cards, I don't have any idea of how can it be done through paypal development portal.
So can anybody let me know how to go about this and any reference link where I can find some details for this.?
I think one of the option I should go with is: PayPal Website Payments Pro but I have no idea about that and Is it a free service or a paid one.?
Thanks in advance.

PayPal Payments Pro does allow you to process credit card transactions using the Direct Payment API's. That product is currently available to US, UK, and Canadian merchants. The REST credit card process mentioned is only for US merchants at the moment.
Payments Pro isn't free. There a $30 a month fee.
Payments Standard and Express Checkout are both free and don't require that your buyers have a PayPal account but they are required to redirect to the PayPal site to log into their account or enter their credit card information.
If you have a more specific question I can help you further.

You can make credit card payments via the new PayPal REST API. Depending on your use case check the documentation for sale (directly charging a card), or authorize and capture. You also have the option of storing cards in the vault for later use.

I do not know whether you have gone through the Paypal developer's FAQ. Please go through this link once-

Ideally to integrate paypal to a development site, A business account needs to be created.So when the user clicks on the pay now button on your site you send that userId and password to Paypal webservice and authenticate yourself as business user. it redirects to teh paypal site after authentication. So even if the user does not have an account with paypal they can pay using paypal(Which authenticates your site).
All the paypal integration is paid service.

Subscriptions in PayPal

I am working on integrating Recurring Payments functionality in Asp.Net based application where people can subscribe to a Service where they will be paying a monthly amount. I am trying to achieve the same using PayPal's Subscription APIs. One another aspect is where people will be making payments using their Credit Card instead of PayPal's account. I have tried to search for a sample code where I can see that Credit Card information is passed to the Subscription API but unable to find the same. Can anyone points me to a sample code where this is implemented or guide me on how I can do this?
PayPal does provide a Subscription only API for PayPal payments or Guest Checkout where buyer's prompt to create PayPal personal account. To achieve a Credit card subscription I'd reckon to refer to Braintree Vaulting functionality wherein you can have both Credit Card & PayPal.
Braintree Vault Overview:
Our Braintree Vault securely stores customer information – including payment method information – so you can safely keep customers on file.
The Vault is used to process payments with our recurring billing feature, and can also be used for non-recurring transactions so your customers don't need to re-enter their information each time they make a purchase from you.

Do I need Paypal Pro to accept credit cards on my ecommerce store?

I've recently tested sandbox on paypal. But I have to have Paypal Pro enabled to complete my transaction. According to information provided to paypal, the standard account should accept credit card.
(https://www.paypal.com/ca/webapps/mpp/compare-business-products)
So do I need to purchase Paypal pro to accept credit card or was this only required in sandbox?
Thanks
No, you do not. The basic, free account is enough. The Pro accounts simply come with premium features, like being able to process transactions without your customers needing to leave your website. The basic account redirects them to Paypal long enough to complete the checkout before redirecting back to your site.

.NET alternative to Google Checkout

Our .NET website uses Google Checkout to handle credit card processing and we need to migrate to another credit card service because Google Checkout is going away. Google Checkout used a .NET webcontrol that was easy to use and did not require that our site actually capture the credit card on a SSL site.
Does anyone recommend a replacement for this type of service that is easy to integrate using ASP.NET and leaves the security to them? Google provided a link to Braintree in their announcement but when I looked at that, it looked like we have to capture the credit card info. I'd prefer not to have the risk.
As #Aristos has mentioned, you can look into PayPal and/or Amazon Checkout.
Both of them provide alternative/3rd party checkout services - which is what Google Checkout is (was after November 2013).
Braintree is a payment processor and is very different from Google Checkout and any other checkout services - they offer credit card processing services (just like Authorize.net, Paypal Payflow, etc.). You will need to have/apply for a merchant account and comply with PCI DSS requirements when using such services (although they have services that minimize your PCI DSS work).
Google Wallet for Online Commerce (aka "Instant Buy") is a "layer" on top of such - which is the Google product/service that will "assume" the role of the "payment flow" (I hesitate to call it a "payment service" as it's really not) for merchants selling physical goods. It will work with (in fact require) your existing payment processor.
Wallet for Digital (aka "In-App Payment"), as the name implies, is the digital (product/service) counterpart of "Instant Buy". This is still a 3rd party checkout service - meaning it's still Google that handles the credit card processing (just like Checkout does/did). But it's primarily for digital merchants (selling digital products).

Paypal Pro integration without any round trip to paypal website using paypal account

I want to do paypal integration with my website such as we can do all payment with paypal account without going on paypal website.
and i want to do login for user to payment from own website not from paypal website. and finally pay should also from own website.
in all these process i just want to use paypal account not credit card and debit card.
Can any one provide me solutions or source code in asp.net ?
If you are asking if you can keep the buyer on your site, and allow them to set up a recurring payment with their PayPal account without sending them over to PayPal, the answer is NO. If you are asking if you can redirect the buyer over to PayPal and have them set up a recurring payment, the answer is YES.

How do I link PayPay Standard on Website to PayPal Account?

I have Cube Cart V5 installed and have activated PayPal Standard as payment method. On a test sale, the PayPal screen comes up and asks 1) Login to your PayPal Account, 2) Use your credit card. How do I link this to my PayPal account so that purchases are registered to my PayPal account?
I am not familiar with Cube Cart but in the most basic way as a paypal merchant you are issued a merchant username and password that represents you and in your management tools for your cart you can cut and paste those values in there that will take care of transactions.
When a payment is initialized it is normally passes values through a URL string. Your merchant information will be in that string so it can match up to an account to receive money.
Paypal has integration documentation, but the people that support the Cart should be able to help you more efficiently. See if they have a forum if you don't get direct support.
I'm not sure what you're asking. Paypal works this way, by connecting you directly to paypal and allowing you to sign in and make your payment on their website. When your customer makes a payment, the money goes into your paypal account which you entered into cube during the setup process.
If you prefer to use paypal's api key, you can learn more about it at this link: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECAPICredentials/
