Testing plugin on localhost – possible?

Apologies… ignore this question, I’ve found the reason! Some custom checks I put in to detect country and obviouly country isn’t being detected on localhost!

Hi @the_lar.
No worries, it’s still a valid question.
The PayPal buttons are only served when certain checks were passed by PayPal (such as currency or country code), but in general, it should work fine in a local development environment.
Since you found the cause of the problem, I will go ahead and mark this as resolved, though.
Please let us know when any questions remain.
Kind regards,
Niklas

Hello,

I would like to find out if this plugin is really working on localhost.

I installed a fresh version of WordPress 5.8 and installed a woocommerce theme.
When I try to set up the payment and choose Paypal, I get this notification:

PayPal Checkout is almost ready. To get started, connect your account.

When I click on the “connect your account” (your plugin gets activated), the payment page reloads and nothing happens.
There is no place to add the Paypal info, neither Sandbox or the Paypal.

Even if I Replace the text starting at s:26:”Pay with your credit card.” and ending at “disable_funding”;a:0:{} with the following:

s:26:"Pay with your credit card.";s:13:"vault_enabled";b:0;s:10:"sandbox_on";b:0;s:20:"products_dcc_enabled";N;s:24:"client_secret_production";s:0:"";s:20:"client_id_production";s:0:"";s:13:"client_secret";s:0:"";s:9:"client_id";s:0:"";s:11:"merchant_id";s:0:"";s:14:"merchant_email";s:0:"";s:22:"merchant_id_production";s:0:"";s:25:"merchant_email_production";s:0:"";s:22:"merchant_email_sandbox";s:0:"";s:19:"merchant_id_sandbox";s:0:"";s:17:"client_id_sandbox";s:0:"";s:21:"client_secret_sandbox";s:0:"";s:6:"intent";s:7:"capture";s:24:"capture_for_virtual_only";b:0;s:15:"payee_preferred";b:0;s:12:"landing_page";s:5:"LOGIN";s:15:"disable_funding";a:0:{}

to the wp_options > woocommerce-ppcp-settings in the database, after I click to connect, this information disappears from the table and goes back to the original:

a:9:{s:5:"title";s:6:"PayPal";s:11:"description";s:15:"Pay via PayPal.";s:29:"button_single_product_enabled";b:1;s:24:"button_mini-cart_enabled";b:1;s:19:"button_cart_enabled";b:1;s:10:"brand_name";s:17:"WoodworkingEntity";s:17:"dcc_gateway_title";s:12:"Credit Cards";s:23:"dcc_gateway_description";s:26:"Pay with your credit card.";s:13:"vault_enabled";b:0;}

There is no place to add the Paypal info, neither Sandbox or the Paypal.

Please let me know if I am missing something.
Thank you!

Hi @customfit,

Yes, the plugin does work in local environments.
