Won’t connect

    According to Woocommerce, the new Plugin “Woocommerce Paypal Payments” is supposed to replace those that have gone before. This is now recommended instead of PayPal Standard etc.

    I have a PayPal business account, but I can’t get the two to connect when I press the button on the settings. It goes through to log in to PayPal, which I do, but ends up with “sorry, something has gone wrong” error message.

    I have looked to manually set up, but it’s asking for a Client ID, which appears to be something on a developer account, not a business account. It also wants a Merchant ID, which I found. I didn’t get as far as searching for the Live Secret Key.

    How do I connect? There is literally nothing on the internet about this. Everyone just says use PayPal Standard. I’ve been able to set up PayPal Standard, by the way, and receive a payment. I figured, as this is a new shop, I should try to new plugin to avoid me having to re-do it in the future. However, I’m completely stuck.

    It connected!

    So, I rang PayPal in the end and went through the automatic connection with them while they were on the line and – hey presto! – it connected! It simply worked.

    They told me that they were carrying out updates on this connection/plugin yesterday which was why I couldn’t do it yesterday.

    I wish I had known that when I was trying and trying and trying yesterday!

    Anyway, updating this and closing the thread now.
