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.

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
Am using WooCommerce with WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin, on checking out (live environment) am getting the error below;
[UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-TRANSACTION_REFUSED
To add on, sandbox works without any issue.
I will be grateful for any assistance.
TRANSACTION_REFUSED is not a technical problem, and so cannot be fixed. It is a decline by PayPal.
Have the customer use a different payment method, or contact PayPal for information about why the payment might have been declined.
Note that payments to your own production account are not permitted. If the payer information is at all connected to the receiving account, this is why it was declined.
I got an issue with the Woocommerce stocking system. The issue arises when a product stock is reduced to 1, after that every time a customer buys that particular product, the stock does not turn to 0 and hence makes it 'out of stock'.
We've been trying to fix this but never succeeded.
For the payment system we are using Paypal, Bank Transfer (manual), and our local Indonesian payment gateway called Midtrans.
We have tried contacting Paypal which we suspected as the problem, as we keep getting IPN error notifications. I am not too sure yet if Paypal is related to this stocking issue.
Some of WooCommerce's PayPal payment methods do use IPN to mark orders as successfully paid, so that could be related. You should work on ensuring your IPN listener is functioning properly and able to receive messages from PayPal without error.
Alternatively, there are various alternate PayPal plugins for WooCommerce that you can try, and some do not depend on the legacy IPN service.
My WordPress website is using Stripe and WooCommerce plugin to accept credit card.
But on final checkout page, the credit card field is not working and showing very small size:
"Live Publishable Key" and "Live Secret Key" are correct.
Any idea how to fix it?
There are many types of solutions for this problem, like having SSL installed, using the correct domain, etc.
On my site there was an error with the PayPal Checkout, which I had active too, that caused the stripe credit card form to not get filled with the according input fields. When I deactivated PayPal Checkout I could use the form just as expected again.
So far that's enough of a solution for me since I can continue using the normal PayPal implementation on WooCommerce without needing PayPal Checkout.
The PayPal Checkout error I received was:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'FUNDING' of undefined at getFundingMethods".
I have not been able to resolve it yet though without deactivating PayPal Checkout.
This issue may due to the incorrect domain, license keys from Stripe or the setup process in the documentation haven’t been completed:

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.
