With the implementation of Newer Paypal gateways, the option for clients to make only one-time payments manually is no longer possible through the PayPal account. Many clients prefer to make manual payments for recurring services to allow for "more control" over their payments and outgoings.
WHMCS Team Clarification:
This idea relates to the "PayPal Payments" module.

The PayPal Payments module provides access to credit card-like controls which clients and admins can use to manage their payments:
- Clients can delete their PayPal account from the list of Payment Methods via the corresponding page in the client area . If they did this immediately after paying, you wouldn't be able to automatically charge them for renewal: https://docs.whmcs.com/payments/pay-methods/#in-the-client-area
- As an admin you can toggle on the "Disable CC Processing" option on their Profile if a particular Client doesn't wish their account to be charged automatically: https://docs.whmcs.com/clients/client-profile/profile-tab/#additional-client-settings
Linking of the PayPal account is really beneficial to merchants and your clients; it reduces renewal friction to help decrease involuntary churn for you, makes it easier for clients to upgrade and buy new services without having to re-enter their PayPal account details and reduces cart abandonment. Faster checkout = higher conversion rate for you.
