Can I pay with a credit card via PayPal without logging into a PayPal account?

Yes, you can use a credit or debit card to pay via PayPal even if you do not have a PayPal account (or you don't wish to log into your account). However, it may take longer for your payment to be processed, since it has to be manually approved due to PayPal's fraud prevention requirements. To prevent this delay, you can pay with a verified PayPal account.

After selecting PayPal as your payment option, you should be directed to a screen that looks like this:
PayPal login screen

Click the button to "Pay with Debit or Credit Card"
You will see a page that allows you to enter your payment information:

PayPal payment info screen

After entering your information, select "No, I don't want an account now" and click the button to "Pay Now"
You will see a confirmation screen. Click the small "Not now" text at the bottom to proceed without using a PayPal account.
