Vince Administrator 42749 Posts	Posted - 10/08/2024 : 02:41:10 Hi Jezze The old PayPal payment methods like PayPal Standard, Express and Direct Payments have all been replaced by PayPal Checkout. These old methods haven't been supported for a long time now and are getting more problematic. There is a wizard in the Payment Providers admin page to connect to PayPal Checkout and it really takes a matter of minutes (or less ).

dbdave ECT Moderator USA 10406 Posts	Posted - 10/09/2024 : 20:51:24 A "wizard" as it applies to software, is just a guide so to speak - it walks you through a series of steps. It's been well documented for a long time on the forum here that the old Paypal would be going away and folks will need to go through the new steps (wizard) in the admin (on the latest versions) to get on to the new stuff. Most folks say it's quite easy. Thanks, David
jezze Ecommerce Template Expert USA 601 Posts	Posted - 10/10/2024 : 09:49:46 Hi David, Thanks for your reply One question, if i leave the standard PayPal payment enabled on my control panel, there is an option showing on the checkout page to pay with a credit or debit card for buyers that don't have a PayPal account. Should i leave that option enabled or should i disable it? Jezze Ecommerce Plus ASP v7.7.6
Vince Administrator 42749 Posts	Posted - 10/10/2024 : 11:50:56 Hi Jezze I would leave it enabled as it gives your customers more options to pay. But you can disable it if you are using a separate card payment provider. Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
jezze Ecommerce Template Expert USA 601 Posts	Posted - 10/10/2024 : 15:24:51 Hi Vince, thanks for your reply Before using the new PayPal checkout , my return URL after paying with a PayPal account wasn't working With the new PayPal checkout will the return URL work as before after a buyer pays for his/her order?

jezze Ecommerce Template Expert USA 601 Posts	Posted - 10/15/2024 : 19:37:23 Hi Vince, Today I had my first sale using the new PayPal Checkout method I have a question, below the amount of the sale, there is a black button which says "Inform PayPal" What is the meaning of that button? Do I have to click on it to inform PayPal about the sale? Jezze Ecommerce Plus ASP v7.7.6
Vince Administrator 42749 Posts	Posted - 10/16/2024 : 02:57:39 Hi Jezze Congratulations on the first (of many) PayPal Checkout sales!! With PayPal Checkout you get the ability to capture charges if you are using the "Authorize Only" setup. And you can also void and refund orders etc and that "Inform PayPal" button is there to say that you transmit the change you made in the status menu above to PayPal.

jezze Ecommerce Template Expert USA 601 Posts	Posted - 10/17/2024 : 14:31:58 Hi Vince, The order was taken after the switch to PayPal Checkout Jezze Ecommerce Plus ASP v7.7.6
Vince Administrator 42749 Posts	Posted - 10/17/2024 : 23:56:19 Hi Jezze This message would appear for the old integration of PayPal Express and the message appears if the username / password for the integration isn't set. Is it possible that you are still using the old PayPal Express together with the new PayPal checkout? If so, PayPal Express is available through PayPal checkout by clicking on the "Settings" button for PayPal Checkout and selecting, "Use Express Checkout".

jezze Ecommerce Template Expert USA 601 Posts	Posted - 10/21/2024 : 20:59:59 Hi Vince One last question about this topic/ Which method is better PayPal Checkout vs PayPal Advanced? In other words, should I also use PayPal Advanced? Jezze Ecommerce Plus ASP v7.7.6
Vince Administrator 42749 Posts	Posted - 10/22/2024 : 00:49:59 Hi Jezze It gets a bit confusing at times with the PayPal offerings but PayPal Advanced was an old PayPal offering that is probably better off replaced by PayPal Checkout. However within PayPal Checkout there is the "Advanced Cards" which is the PayPal offering that allows you to take the card directly on your website and that's good.

Vince Administrator 42749 Posts	Posted - 10/28/2024 : 03:54:48 Hi Jezze There is a setup page but to tell the truth, I thought most of the options were pretty much self explanatory. Could you give me an example of something you are confused about? Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
