Configuring the New PayPal Module
To get started, follow these steps to configure the new PayPal module:
|
1. Webhook Setup:
Ensure smooth transactions and order processing by setting up webhooks. Click on "Account Details" and select "Advanced Settings." Then, click on the "Subscribe" button next to "Required Webhooks" and confirm the action in the pop-up window. |
 |
 |
2. Custom Card Fields:
If you want to display fields for customers to enter credit card information on the checkout page, check the box next to "Status." By default, the required settings are already chosen. Click the "Update" button to save your preferences. |
Unlocking the Power of PayPal Module Settings
With the new PayPal module, you gain access to a range of settings that offer you more control over the payment process:
| Enable PayPal Checkout: Accept PayPal Checkout payments easily. Disable PayPal for Guests: When virtual products are in the cart, guests (express) orders won't require any address information. Show PayPal Buttons: Choose to display PayPal buttons on the Product page, Shopping Cart page, Checkout Login page, and Checkout page. Depending on the design, you can select a horizontal layout with one PayPal button. Show PayPal Pay Later Info: Provide customers with the convenience of PayPal Pay Later information (available in most countries). Save Order Before Payment: Recommended for businesses with high order volumes and alternative payment methods, this option slows down the checkout process but ensures exact invoice IDs are transferred to PayPal. Transaction Method: Choose between (pre)authorize or automatic payment withdrawal (sale) for transactions. |
 |
 |
Order Status: Set the order status for pending, paid, and canceled orders. |
| Enable Payment Methods: Let the system automatically choose available payment methods based on country and PayPal account settings if none are selected. Debug E-Mail Address: Set an email address to receive parameters of invalid transactions for debugging purposes. Sort Order of Display: Organize the display order of payment methods, with the lowest value shown first. |
 |
