PayPal Guest Checkout needs to be enabled for Bookings.

Hi Victor,
Thank you for the suggestion, I will post there as well.
I spent the weekend looking into how the PayPal API works and whether the problem was likely on the PayPal side or the Microsoft side. PayPal's documentation clearly shows the kind of checkout being called by Microsoft with a simply "Pay" button option, so PayPal is not forcing "Sign Up & Pay" but it looks like Microsoft is perhaps calling the checkout in this way (?)
The access authorization given to Microsoft on the PayPal business account side seems to show high enough access levels to have PayPal pass back over the business account settings that could indicate the guest checkout is enabled. I can only think Microsoft is not testing for this or has consciously chosen to only allow credit/debit card payments with a PayPal signup?
I'm not a high end developer but know enough code to have a basic understanding.
This one's a show stopper for me and I really wanted this payment integration feature to work so hopefully if enough people vote for it then it will get done.
