Skip checkout page after payment is authorized

    Hello,

    I’m displaying the modal paypal popup on the cart page. Customers are already logged in, so no further information is required. No shipping costs and no TAX will be added on their total prices.
    Now after payment details are set in the popup the customer is taken back to “review the order” to a checkout page. This is completely unnecessary. The desired flow is that the purchase is completed and the customer is redirected to the Thank you page after setting everything on paypal’s end. I searched the forums and found that there should be a “Skip final review” checkbox in the Settings but these comments are a year old and this no longer seems to be an option.

    The first thing is the most important. My other question relates to order creation in Woocommerce. I’d expect an Order to be created when the customer presses the PayPal button on the cart page and when the popup appears. Now even if they abandon the process we can follow up based on their previous order. Failing to create the order will result in a lack of data from this process. How can I enable this behaviour?

    I don’t mind adding custom callbacks, signing up to different hooks or even modifying the source code of the plugin, but if there is already a solution I’d like to take advantage of it before diving into it.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi @lbandy –

    You may be able to accomplish what you are hoping for here, but it would require serious customization of the entire plugin. The functionality you are looking for is outside of the default flow of order creation and confirmation as it works with the current version PayPal Checkout.

    You can see the standard flow outlined here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-express-checkout/#section-10

    I’d expect an Order to be created when the customer presses the PayPal button on the cart page and when the popup appears.

    This is the expected behavior with PayPal Standard, but not with PayPal Checkout. With PayPal Checkout, the order is created when the custom returns to the site and clicks the “Place Order” button, at that final review and confirmation stage.

    You may be able to accomplish this with an extensive customization of PayPal Checkout. However, you may also want to see if another PayPal plugin offers something closer to your desired flow.

    Hi Jess,

    Thanks a lot for your reply! I’ll look around a bit more to see if I can find something closer to my needs then.

    Hi @lbandy,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

    Thank you,
    Joey
