Enable PayPal Credt Payments in the UK

Hi there @fuzioneer,

This is a good question! If you are a UK merchant and you are interested in PayPal Credit, you have to apply and be approved for this option to be activated for your PayPal account – https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/paypal-virtual-credit

Please let us know if it still doesn’t work even after your account is approved for PayPal Credit.

Cheers!

Hi @treibalen,

The plugin has a check for whether PayPal credit is supported by matching the websites currency and the store base location, it does not check with PayPal if the account supports PayPal Credit

function wc_gateway_ppec_is_credit_supported() {
	$base = wc_get_base_location();
	return 'US' === $base['country'] && 'USD' === get_woocommerce_currency();
}

so if its a hard check, how do i bypass it to enable it for UK ?

Hi there @fuzioneer and @philiprabbett,

Good catch with the code! Let me clarify this question with our developers and I’ll get back to you.

Cheers!

Hi there @fuzioneer and @philiprabbett,

I have confirmed that currently PayPal Checkout doesn’t support PayPal Credit in the UK.

I’d recommend keeping an eye on the plugin updates but we cannot provide any ETA for it yet.

Cheers!

Any chance this has been enabled?

+1 very interested in this quite a few UK based sites are already offering this option.
Cheers.

This has been 9 months now it has been available in the UK. I can see it during checkout on other UK Merchants. When is this going to be available using this plugin, surely it’s not a huge code change to make it possible ??

Has anyone had any update on this?

Any update? This would be a great feature

considering I raised this over a year ago and the code still hasn’t changed and this topic is marked as resolved I can’t see any changes forthcoming ??

I would say look at alternative plugins and let us know if you find one that supports PayPal credit in the UK so we can all switch to it ??
