Great support
By LJoelM on April 12, 2024
On contacting the PayPal plugin support about what seemed to be a conflicting issue with another plugin, they where very helpful and provided the exact coding I needed in order to resolve the issue. This was after discussing the issue with the conflicting plugin developers so I must say they have gone above and beyond expectations. With conflicting plugin or custom coding issues I usually get support from both plugins blaming each other and then a final message from both saying something like "It's not our problem" so this was a really nice change! 🙂

False hope and fake orders!
By cornishconnect on April 2, 2024
Full of false hope, was excited to have my very first order on such a new build website, I sourced the product from our inventory, marked on the list we were low in stock, went and logged into paypal to find the order and confirm everything, only to find the order was fake. There was no order at all. Just a spammy address in Canada, Best to uninstall and stop using PayPal in its entirety.
Troublesome Plugin Experience: Persistent Texts and Buggy Test System
By stf512 on March 25, 2024
I uninstalled the plugin because it installs buttons and texts everywhere. I spent an hour trying to remove everything, but even though the paylater system is deactivated, the phrase "pay in 4 installments" continues to appear everywhere under the add-to-cart buttons... horrible because I do not want payments to be made in installments. Also, the test system is bugged for me; it indicates a wrong password during the test, even though I have the correct one...
Fixed Error
By jundavewamar on March 19, 2024
Krystian & Syed was very responsive and they have fixed our error. Hopefully it will work well until future.
It works very well
By smokezoneecuador on March 7, 2024
I installed some plugins and this one did not generate errors for me and was the easiest to configure, I did not want to install it due to the criticisms I had, but I was encouraged in the end and I am happy with how it works
Developers deserve more credit
By solarian on March 7, 2024
Don’t pay attention to the nay-sayers and all the one star reviews. It’s an excellent plugin which has to handle all of the complexity of the legacy & current PayPal transaction types, and all the different configurations WooCommerce users might have.
Support is also excellent, as I know because I made a silly config error and Krystian helped me resolve it.
As a developer, I can see what a difficult job they have and I think they deserve more credit.
WooCommerce users should absolutely upgrade to this plugin from the unsupported legacy plugins, not least for security reasons, but also to be able to enable High Performance Order Storage and just stay ahead of the curve. Failure to do so should not be an option for a responsible site administrator.
Doesn't work, massive waste of time

Spent hours on this trying to get it to work. With their support as well. Does not work. Common issue judging by all the other reviews.
[Error] Unknown error while connecting to Paypal. Status code:0.
By khouya on February 27, 2024
What a bad plugin. I understand that there are so many negative reviews.
"[Error] Unknown error while connecting to Paypal. Status code:0."
This is an error that appears then disappears then reappears when clicking on the PayPal button. This means that sometimes a customer will be able to order but 5 minutes later he will not be able to order anymore. We already have several customer complaints. I think I'll uninstall it and switch to card only via another extension.
UPDATE: As soon as we remove this plugin and go back to PayPal Standard (default option in WooCommerce) our sales resumed normally.
I would like to report fraudulent practices of Paypal. If we switched to PayPal Payments it is because we were misled by Paypal which said last summer (May 2023), I quote: "the PayPal Standard will disappear this summer". This was of course a lie. PayPal Standard is still there and works much better than PayPal Payments. If we had not been victims of these fraudulent practices by PayPal, we would have kept PayPal Standard (by default in WooCommerce) which is more than sufficient for us.
It's bad and risky (checkout stopped working entirely)
By xpconversions on February 23, 2024
I installed it despite the bad reviews because it's officially recommended by Woocommerce, but Oh my...
The checkout stopped working, even when the users were selecting other payment options. And by "stopped working" I mean it just reloaded when the users clicked the buy button.
The error in the console log was "PayPal order ID not found in meta".
I Googled it. It seems that it was not the firs time this plugin had the same error. This looks like a bad internal development/testing procedure.
I contacted WooCommerce who contacted this plugin development team, and they sent me via email a new version of the plugin saying that they were aware of the error. This was 6 days later after a client reported the bug.
That means that I would not have sales for 6 / 7 days. ¿Can you imagine that? (I, of course, moved to another plugin as fast as I could)
Overall, by using it myself and considering the other reviews, this plugin should not exist. It's dangerous because it's messing with entrepreneurs' income, stability and peace of mind.
Install at your own risk.
