To process PayPal Express Checkout payments, please contact your website developer or the support of third party platform(eCommerce) to handle their internal website code and initiate the payment by triggering the SetExpressCheckout API call from your website to the PayPal system via - https://developer.paypal.com/docs/archive/express-checkout/ec-initiate-payment.

Once the payment has been initiated, the merchant's website can trigger the GetExpressCheckoutDetails API call to obtain buyer/customer information, such as name, email address and delivery address, from PayPal.

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/archive/express-checkout/ec-get-payment-details/

Finally, the merchant's website must trigger a call to the DoExpressCheckout payment API to recover the buyer/customer's funds via - https://developer.paypal.com/docs/archive/express-checkout/ec-finalize-payment/.

Regarding, guest payment checkout(i.e payment via credit/debit without PayPal account) feature is not available for all Customers/Buyers. 

It's important to remember that guest checkout is not guaranteed for every transaction.

To receive guest checkout payments :

Enable the PayPal Account Optional option in your account settings.

Login PayPal.com >> Settings >> Account settings >> Website payments >> Website preferences >> PayPal Account Optional >> toggle "yes" .

Please contact your website developer (or) support of your third-party platform Shopify to pass the variables "SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole" and "LANDINGPAGE=BILLING" in the SetExpressCheckout payment API request call to make sure guest checkout is offered as often as possible.

Guide links - https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/set-express-checkout-nvp/

PayPal runs a risk check to determine eligibility for guest checkout. There will be times when guest checkout is not available.

Yes, this is intended behaviour of the product. Customer/buyer need to create PayPal account to process the payment.

Sincerely,
