Issue in WooCommerce Shipping Calculation with PayPal
Currently Using WooCommerce for cake store and using PayPal for payment gateway.
I have created $5 discount for store pickup. So ideally a $50 product should be $45. That reflects in the website.
But when user goes to "Payment via PayPal", it still shows $50.
Any suggestions how to override shipping calculations of PayPal on WooCommerce?
I saw many articles on google but can't find the appropriate solution.
I also checked the box on override allow transaction-based postage values to override the profile postage settings listed above (if profile settings are enabled), but with no luck.
Can any one help me with this? Thanks in advance.
There are various ways to resolve the issue, but perhaps the most straightforward would be to switch to a PayPal payment plugin that uses an API instead of Payments Standard, for example this official one: https://woocommerce.com/woocommerce-and-paypal/ (there are also various third party ones available)
Then, profile shipping settings in the PayPal account will not affect WooCommerce transactions in any way, since everything about the transaction will be set via the API. This is also a more robust and feature-rich solution in general, and so recommended by both PayPal and most programmers/developers familiar with PayPal integration methods.

I have an e-commerce on Wordpress where I put my products for sale through WooCommerce and a demand arose for an advantage club where, after payment was made, it would send data to an API to create an account on a platform and when is no longer paid to be deactivated by the same API. How can I do this? Is there any way?
I looked for documentation on the internet but I couldn't find much.
You can use, a hook that runs when an ordered is marked as completed:
woocommerce_order_status_completed
if that doesnt work for you, you need to check the payment gateway provider, to see what hooks they offer
I have correctly configured payments with PayPal in WooCommerce, sometimes I get orders and pay for PayPal and everything is fine, but sometimes some customers pay and WooCommerce does not change the status of the order to "Paid", and for that reason customers contact me to tell me that they already paid and yes.
Does anyone feel the same?
PS: This error is occasional, I do not know what it could be.
You could always just log in to your PayPal account and see if the transactions that show an incorrect status in WooCommerce do actually exist in your PayPal transaction log with the correct status. If so, then you should contact WooCommerce support for them to explain why those same transactions do not show up with the correct status in their portal. If WooCommerce tells you that it's an issue with PayPal (and thus, there is nothing to be corrected at their side), then open a case with PayPal support and they can look into the logs being sent from WooCommerce's API calls into PayPal to confirm whether or not they are doing it properly.
PayPal Standard that comes with WooCommerce uses IPN to update the order status. Unfortunately, their IPN integration is not great, and it often fails.
If you use my PayPal for WooCommerce instead, and setup Express Checkout, this problem will not happen. Also, you'll have a lot more features and functionality.
Having a nightmare with this and cannot find a solution anywhere - the only similar issues I find are the exact opposite problem!
Placing an order using PayPal (standard) at checkout puts the order 'On hold' in wp, but completes on the front end and the user even receives the PayPal receipt so are none the wiser. In the PayPal business account there is nothing.
Interestingly, PayPal express checkout works fine! So the account is definitely setup correctly. Something I have noticed is that the receipt from the express checkout transaction and from the standard have different Merchant names - the standard one (the one not working)has the name#emailaddress.com rather than the merchant name. This would suggest that this is the issue, but I've been into the business settings and checked this as well as the Woocommerce settings and everything is in order.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
For Woocommerce PayPal standard you have to enable Auto return url and Notification url(Instant payment notification) which will update the order status on your woocommerce. Refer the following URL link: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/paypal-standard/ and enable both Auto return & Instant payment notification settings on the Merchant/Business PayPal account. Please note that Merchant PayPal account is not linked with any other website.
PayPal Express checkout is recommended: https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/
I would recommend you just stick with Express Checkout. It has many more features and options than PayPal Standard. I would recommend the PayPal for WooCommerce, though, which is the one PayPal reps would recommend as well if you talk to them.
I'm trying to launch an online store using Wordpress, WooCommerce and the "Paypal for Woocommerce" Plugin.
On Paypal, Guest Checkout is only available on mobile, but it's not an option on desktop. I read somewhere that you need to add this lines to your SetExpressCheckout API Call but I don't know where to put them:
SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
LANDINGPAGE=Billing
Can anyone using this plugin help me? Thank you.
it is true that if you add those parameters to the SetEC API call it will enable guest checkout and present the credit card form on the hosted page. To add these parameters, however, you have to alter the source code of the plugin. If you are using Angelleye's plugin there is a setting:
PayPal Account Optional – If your PayPal account is setup with PayPal Account Optional enabled (available in your PayPal account profile) then setting this option here will provide a better checkout flow for non-PayPal users. It will be more obvious that you do not need a PayPal account in order to complete payment, and this will typically increase conversion rates.
you can see complete documentation here.
I've created a paypal buy now button and integrated it successfully. When testing I notice that once I reach the paypal site there's an option to redeem a "voucher, reward or other discount".
How do I create the voucher/discount codes?
The instructions I've seen so far seem to relate to handling the coupon codes on your own website i.e. you have to allow users to enter the code on your site. I'm looking for a solution where my customers can redeem a coupon code on the paypal website using the option I mentioned earlier.
You cant create vouchers. Only paypal or ebay users can create those.
You're gonna have to create a script that calculates the discounts on your website before sending the total amount to paypal checkout.
Check a script i posted on my profile for more info.
If you are using V2 of the PayPal API, add it as part of the breakdown.
