I hope you are well. Our company wants to move to your PayPal plugin from WooCommerce’s PayPal plugin. We have two types of PayPal subscriptions: 1) subscriptions controlled by WooCommerce using Reference Transactions, and 2) subscriptions controlled by PayPal (created under PayPal Standard). The subscriptions controlled by PayPal have a PayPal ID (e.g. I-4BZL9W3BH2JT). They are shown in PayPal’s “Subscriptions” screen, and renewal payments are initiated by PayPal.

Will Payment Plugins for PayPal handle both types of PayPal subscriptions? If so, we’d love to move to your plugin.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
Cooper Walter

I have re-installed one website from scratch and now under WooCommerce – Settings – Payments shows only Paypal and doesn’t show the option Paypal Standard.

The option Paypal Standard works great on theme I’m using but the option Paypal its shows a few conflicts, there is any way to activate again that option?

Question #1:

If I switch from PayPal Standard to PayPal Payments for my WooCommerce website, what happens to my existing customer accounts with active PayPal Standard subscriptions that normally renew? Will disabling PayPal Standard result in PayPal Payments processing them on their scheduled renewal date?

Question #2:

With PayPal Standard and the combination of IPN and WooCommerce Subscriptions, customer payments would automatically process on their billing anniversary date.

For new customers who sign up for a subscription (using the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin) and choose PayPal Payments, what occurs on the “next payment date” recorded within WooCommerce for the customer’s account? Will PayPal Payments automatically handle the renewal without any action required from the customer?

I have ensured all plugins are up to date, and after the first occurrence I installed the Free version of WordFence as was recommended and ran a scan, all was good. but it still gets hacked.

I have looked through the site and so did the hosting company and we can’t see anything obviously wrong.

After the hack last night, I have hopefully disabled PayPal standard by adding the following:

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_should_load_paypal_standard’, ‘__return_false’ );

But it would be good to know how it is happening, and how they are getting around WordFence, so I can close the door, any help would be gratefully received!

The first time I tried to convert our existing PayPal business account, I got through all the prompts, but at the end, it asked about creating a new account, which I didn’t think I wanted to do (I just wanted to convert an existing one), so I closed the window.

On subsequent attempts, when I got to the prompt about identifying the owner, I got an error message telling me to click Edit, but the Edit link did not work.

I tried contacting PayPal by phone and that just took me down an automated messaging system rabbit hole. I did at one point get a phone call from PayPal, but I didn’t answer at the time, and the phone number they left got me nowhere. I also don’t find their website helpful.

I’m hoping you can provide some assistance!

However their new plugin I heard is garbage and if they take out standard I’ll check this plugin out.

We have a strange issue with the PayPal standard. We are on an old WP installation and all of a sudden, the PayPal standard was enabled and set up automatically using a PayPal email outside our organization.

Moreover, without having any PayPal API credentials set up on the PayPal standard set up, a client of ours, was able to proceed and be properly charged on her PayPal account using our checkout page.

We are wondering… How is this possible since there are no PayPal API credentials placed on the PayPal standard settings page? We believe that the client should have seen at least an error message or something else that would not let the order proceed.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

George.
