Compatibility

The PayPal Payments plugin is designed to work seamlessly with WooCommerce and many other popular WordPress plugins. Below, you will find important compatibility details to ensure your store runs smoothly.

• WooCommerce Version: The PayPal Payments plugin is compatible with WooCommerce versions 9.6 and later. Always ensure that both WooCommerce and PayPal Payments are updated to their latest versions for the best performance and security.
• WooCommerce Subscriptions: The plugin works with WooCommerce Subscriptions to handle recurring payments. You can offer subscription-based products while allowing customers to use PayPal as a payment method for their recurring billing.

• PayPal Payments: The plugin supports PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo (in the U.S.), Pay Later, and other popular PayPal payment methods.
• Advanced Credit and Debit Cards: Accept payments through major credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, without needing a PayPal account.

The PayPal Payments plugin is designed to work with most WordPress themes. However, due to the varying nature of custom theme designs, it’s recommended to test PayPal buttons and checkout processes with your specific theme to ensure a seamless experience. PayPal’s Smart Buttons are responsive and adapt to your site’s design, but theme-specific styles might require customization to fully integrate with the overall design.

• Multilingual Sites: The PayPal Payments plugin supports multilingual and multicurrency sites. If you are using a multi-language plugin like WPML or MultilingualPress, PayPal payments will be displayed in the customer’s preferred language.
• Multi-currency: The plugin supports stores that operate in different currencies. The payment buttons will automatically display the correct currency based on your WooCommerce currency settings.

The PayPal Payments plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce Blocks, allowing you to integrate PayPal payment options seamlessly in various WooCommerce blocks, including Express Checkout.

Enable Express Checkout in your WooCommerce PayPal Payments settings to offer this fast payment method within the blocks.

Express Checkout allows customers to complete their purchase with one-click PayPal payments. This streamlined process helps reduce friction, leading to a quicker checkout and higher conversion rates.

The PayPal Payments plugin is designed to work alongside most WooCommerce extensions. However, conflicts can arise in rare cases, particularly with custom checkout or payment gateway plugins.

If you encounter issues, we recommend:

• Testing in a staging environment.
• Disabling other plugins one by one to identify conflicts.
• Reaching out to our support team with detailed logs

SSL Encryption: We recommend that your site be served over HTTPS to ensure secure transactions. In any case, PayPal will encrypt any sensitive customer data, even when your website is not properly configured with an SSL certificate.
