About this plugin
🚀 The complete PayPal payment suite for WooCommerce – PayPal Smart Buttons, advanced credit/debit card fields, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Pay Later and more, built on PayPal’s latest Complete Payments (PPCP) REST platform.
Accept payments every way your customers want to pay, without ever sending them away from your store. Developed by an official PayPal partner, this plugin connects your store to PayPal in one click and provides a seamless, conversion-optimized checkout on both the classic checkout and the new WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks.
Why choose this plugin?
One plugin, every PayPal payment method. Connect your PayPal business account with a single click and instantly offer PayPal Smart Buttons, on-site card payments with built-in 3-D Secure, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Venmo and Pay Later — all processed through PayPal’s modern REST APIs (OAuth2 + Orders v2) with automatic webhooks reconciliation.
