Answer 1

I think you can find your answer here. Can you force PayPal Payments Standard API to show credit card fields first?

You're using the PayPal Website Payment Standard. That variable doesn't apply to it, as it only for Express Checkout.

If you're using Express Checkout, basically, it is based on the cookies checking. If you've PayPal cookies exists in your browser, it will be default on the login menu. Else, by setting up LANDINGPAGE=Billing it should by default open up the credit card menu.

Answer 2

<input type="hidden" name="landing_page" value="Billing">

This works as of Sep 2016

Note that the field is landing_page and not LANDINGPAGE

Answer 3

Using call from server I had to write something like this:

'intent' => 'sale', "application_context" => array( "locale" => "he-IL", "landing_page" => "BILLING", ), "redirect_urls" => array( "return_url" => $return_link, "cancel_url" => $cancel_link ), See docs: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/reference/server-integration/set-up-transaction/
