OK, I just tried this after reading your post. The VISA option disappeared altogether from the payment options as I tried to check out. I was forced into PayPal or cash/bank check. That's not quite satisfactory as I would like to see VISA/MC/AMEX logos all displayed during the checkout phase. In fact, I'd prefer them plastered all over the site as they are in all the model sites, but that's another issue.
ok ilya, sorry but seems like you're confused with the payment methods, take it easy don't get confused, i am right here to help you, if you have any questions, just ask me.
you said after you un-checked the PayPal Direct, VISA option disappeared ? But VISA is not at all related with paypal, paypal is different payment method that is connected with your bank account, VISA payment means credit card payment which is completely different from paypal.

I do have a business paypal account; it's have been approved for WebsitePaymentPro. I've been working to configure it tonight with the API credentials, etc.
I have never tried it (i only tested business account) but You can try WebsitePaymentPro account in place of business account in paypal express, but as paypal won't allow you to use same account for buyer and same account for seller or business owner. You have to have a buyer's account and you have to have some money in it and i don't think you would like to transfer real money just for testing, and it takes time when you open paypal account it requires verifications etc, it's better if you sandbox trust me then you can test your website unlimited times for make sure everything is working which you can;t do with real money. Open sandbox account, create demo buyer account and business account, use API credentials of sandbox and test paypal express

What I meant was that in nopCommerce 1.5 when you select "Payment" and go to the Manage Credit Cards option, you see a choice of the 4 types of cards: VISA, MC, APEX and Discover, right? But under the configuration details, it offers none. It allows for manual entering/processing of the customer info once they punch it in. By automatic processing I want PayPal (or another web banker) option of removing me from the payment process chain. I want the customer to enter the information, the information to be cleared by an ACH, for me to be notified that a payment has been made and will clear within x hours. That's instantly enough and that's what I want. I think that's how 99% of the eCommerce sites operate.
Well you won't see anything in the configuration credit card option because that's not how it works and that now how an e-commerce website works,
For a normal e-commerce website you gotta have payment options like paypal (for secure checkout) and payment by credit cards like AMEX/VISA/MASTER CARD etc (for those who doesn't have paypal accounts- everybody cannot have paypal account),
ok let's do one thing:
Go to Admin section > Configuration > Payment > Payment Methods
FOR NOW make sure only 2 options are checked or active
Manual Processing Credit Card ACTIVE Edit (Click on EDIT and in the configuration select "Pending")
PayPal Express PayPal Express ACTIVE Edit (Click Edit and in configuration add sandbox APT Credentials)
let's make rest of the options IN-ACTIVE ok
save it and try to check out, and for testing credit card, DONT USE ACTUAL CREDIT CARD, you can find testing credit card numbers free online, just google for it
(Reason i asked you to select "Pending": you gotta understand the fact that e-commerce website is a business website not a credit card machine that get's you money in your account in an instance by using credit card. For security reasons it's always good to go for "Pending" options as it lets you make the order as paid or cancel. Lets says you are authorizing credit cards online , and later on while transfering money to your account from the given credit card number you found out that it was a fraud credit card ? well the order was already completed due to authorized payment so you can't do anything about it. By selecting payment whenever you receive any order, you can go to admin section and first use the provided credit card details once you get the money approve the order, if for any reason credit card is not working , just cancel the order)
