Product Description
Our WooCommerce PayPal plugin will make it quick and easy to add PayPal Express checkout and Credit Card payments to a WooCommerce store. Also, it’s FREE!
WooCommerce PayPal Express Checkout
Millions of shoppers pay with PayPal. If you already accept credit cards online, you can add PayPal as an option by adding our Express Checkout button. Studies show this will boost sales by an average of 23% on your website!
With WooCommerce PayPal Express Checkout on your site, buyers will speed through checkout using the shipping information and funding source already stored in their PayPal account.
Users will not have to type any information, which will save time and reduce shopping cart abandonment.
Once the transaction approves, the money will be available in your PayPal account within minutes.
Benefits

- You only pay a low transaction fee and a fixed percentage on each sale when you receive a payment.
- There are no setup costs or monthly fees.
- Buyers shopping from smartphones are automatically sent to a mobile version of your website for a fast and easy checkout experience.

Braintree WooCommerce Credit Card Payments
Braintree Payments is a powerful payment platform that PayPal previously acquired. It provides credit card processing using interchange-plus accounts. Above all, this can offer flexibility in fees and pricing of products.
You will have two options for adding Braintree Payments to your WooCommerce site:
- Drop In UI – Hosted iFrame with buttons for PayPal, credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
- Direct Credit Card Processing – This will add a credit card payment form directly onto the WooCommerce checkout page, giving you more control over the experience.
WooCommerce PayPal Pro Credit Card Payments
PayPal Payments Pro gives you everything you need to securely accept credit cards and debit cards on your website.
It offers a secure payment experience with complete customization ability over your customers’ checkout process; and an Internet merchant account from PayPal. Therefore, Payments Pro is ideal for businesses that want complete control over the checkout experience.
Our plugin makes it work with WooCommerce and customers can pay by credit card without ever leaving your website.
PayPal Payments Pro requires credit approval (2-3 business days).
Get a FREE PayPal Pro Account!
By using our PayPal for WooCommerce plugin we can possibly get you special deals on the upgrade to PayPal Payments Pro.
There are limits based on your monthly volume, so you will need to be doing at least $1,000/mo in sales in order to get special deals.
If you are not yet at this level, adding Express Checkout with our plugin will increase conversion rates on your site and help you get to that benefit level.
For this potential benefit to be available for you, you will need to a PayPal account based in the U.S. or Canada.
PayPal Plus
Important Update
Our PayPal Plus for WooCommerce feature has been moved into its own plugin separate from this one. As such, the beta version included in this plugin is no longer available.
Click here for details about the new PayPal Plus for WooCommerce plugin.
PayPal PLUS is a solution where PayPal offers PayPal, Credit Card, and ELV as individual payment options on the payment selection page.
A PayPal hosted i-Frame embedded in the WooCommerce checkout page provides the available payment methods.
PayPal Plus is available for PayPal merchants in Germany, Brazil, and Mexico.
PayPal Payments Advanced
Payments Advanced is a cheaper alternative to Payments Pro which ties PayPal and credit card payments into an i-frame on your website’s checkout page.
As such, this eliminates the need to worry about PCI compliance and is roughly half the price of PayPal Payments Pro.
WooCommerce PayPal REST Credit Card Payments
PayPal’s new REST API adds the ability to process credit cards on the site without the need for PayPal Payments Pro.
This means no more monthly fees for processing credit cards directly! This is essentially the exact same thing that Stripe offers with their credit card processing features.
- A REST-ful API that gets you taking payments very quickly with no monthly fees.
Why Use PayPal for WooCommerce?
We at AngellEYE are PayPal specialists, and have developed a very close relationship with PayPal over the years.
- Ace Certified PayPal Developer
- PayPal Partner
- PayPal Ambassador
- 3-time PayPal Star Developer Award Winner
Rest assured that when you’re working with AngellEYE PayPal plugins, your payments will work as expected. In addition, everything between WooCommerce orders and PayPal’s transaction details will be seamless.
Therefore, you will not find yourself confused when looking at orders in one place or the other because the same data is available in each location.
Quality Control and Seamless PayPal Integration
Our developers have built and tested this plugin thoroughly in the PayPal sandbox.
Firstly, we have ensured that all necessary data passes to PayPal with clean and accurate details. In additional, we verify that all data passes to correct fields that PayPal provides.
Therefore, all order details will show up in PayPal as expected, and all data about orders will match. This is true whether you’re looking at PayPal transaction details or WooCommerce order details.
The following outline describes just a few things that we found wrong with other plugins that we’ve done correctly with ours.
Error Handling
- Many (in fact, all) of the other PayPal extensions I’ve seen have some serious issues regarding error handling.
- One example is with Payments Pro, where you can have Fraud Filters configured in your PayPal account.
- Orders could raise a flag and trigger a filter, however, the payment still completes successfully and the buyer should see the order complete page.
- In many cases, these end up getting treated as failures, the buyer is shown an error, and could potentially end up processing multiple payments if they continue re-trying.
- This sort of crucial error handling problem will not happen with our plugin!
Cart Items
- All cart item details pass fully to PayPal and show up correctly in PayPal’s transaction details.
- All items will always pass.
- You will not find truncated item names in the PayPal transaction details.
- The WooCommerce SKU is correctly passed to PayPal as the Item Number.
- Item Attributes
- We’ve seen all sorts of crazy ways people try to handle item attributes (ie. color, size, etc.)
- All attributes will append to the item name with our plugin so that they can be easily seen in the PayPal tranaction details.
- You will not find item attributes being passed in random fields like other plugins.
Cart Totals
- With our plugin, all cart totals calculate accurately and are sent correctly over to PayPal.
- You will not find any “rounding issue” items popping up on your orders when using our plugins.
- Subtotal, shipping, handling, taxes, and grand total amounts calculate and pass to PayPal accurately and in their correct parameters.
Discount Codes
- We’ve ensured that all discount codes applied to an order are correctly passed over to PayPal.
- This allows you to see each individual code that a customer uses, its amount, and its actual code value.
Shipping
- If shipping is available on the WooCommerce cart page, this will be passed to PayPal for review during checkout.
- If the address changes during review, the shipping and tax will be re-calculated.
- The PayPal request includes the shipping address, so that it will show up in the PayPal transaction details page accurately.
URL Encoding
- All data passed to PayPal is correctly URL encoded and formatted per specified standards.
- You will not have problems where you see a bunch of special characters included with your transaction data.

Andrew is awesome and knows this stuff inside & out. I had multiple technical roadblocks on the PayPal side (not with any of his teams plug-ins) and he jumped right in on multiple occasions and talked directly to the PayPal development team advocating for me to get it resolved. This guy is the real deal. If you need to get past all the PayPal technical roadblocks DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH ANYBODY ELSE; this guy is for real.

Hi
I’ve just installed your solution it looks very good and complet.
Whitch of your plugins should works and be compatible with Woocommerce Subscription (Config Woocommerce -> Israël currency) ?
( PayPal Payments Pro 2.0 (PayFlow) | PayPal Advanced | PayPal Website Payments Pro (DoDirectPayment) | PayPal Express Checkout | Braintree | PayPal Credit Card (REST)) ?
Thank you for your help
Andrew Angell –
Is your PayPal account based in Israel, or is it based in the US with Israel currency being used? I ask because Payments Pro is only available in the US, UK, or CA. Each of our gateways are compatible with Woo Subscriptions, though. So I would probably start with Express Checkout, but keep in mind you do need to get Billing Agreements / Reference Transactions enabled on the PayPal account for use with Express Checkout.

Dear Angeleye team,
thank you for this awesome plugin and the oustanding support. We’ll use it for all our projects now. I have rarely experienced such a fast and helpful support!
Best,
Hendrik

I downloaded the Plugin for PayPal Plus. But i can´t find PayPal Plus?! Is it still inside the Plugin?
Andrew Angell –
This is our PayPal for WooCommerce plugin, which is free and used to include PayPal Plus. PayPal Plus had to be moved to its own plugin, PayPal Plus for WooCommerce, which is a paid plugin.
Manuel –
Hi,
I installed the plugin in order to use “PayPal plus”. I actived it and I inserted the Rest APIs. I expected that on the check out page of my shop the four payment options offered by PayPal plus would appear but nothing happened. There still is only the regular PayPal payment option. What did I do wrong? How do I make it work?
thanks so much for any support!!!

I am not able to get the Paypal Advanced to work. I have activated the Paypal Express and included all options. I have also activated PayPal Advanced, but in the shopping cart it continues to say that Paypal Express hasn’t been set up… HELP
Andrew Angell –
Please submit a ticket here. It will be easier to manage and help you figure this out than working in these comments. In that ticket please include details about exactly what your goal is. For example, are you trying to use Express Checkout like usual, but then use Advanced for credit cards only?
Cindy –
Hello ! Very nice plugin !! I am using express checkout, i uploaded an image as custom button image. It turns out only the button in cart page is customized. Is there any way to customize the button in product page and mini cart widget too ? Thank you 🙂
Andrew Angell –
We are about to release our 1.2.4 update, and then we’ll be working on 1.2.5, which already includes this issue on the list. 🙂
Chris –
I’m using Paypal Advanced. When doing some testing I’m getting this error: “Field format error: 10413-The totals of the cart item amounts do not match order amounts.” I’m doing a free promotional giveaway where I offer a free product and the customer just pay shipping. I know Paypal doesn’t accept free $0 amount. Is there any way around this? I need this to work.
Andrew Angell –
Please submit a ticket here so we can better track this and we’ll see what we can do to help.

This is a great plugin, and Andrew is incredibly helpful. Absolutely the best customer service I’ve ever experienced!!

Andrew Angell – March 14, 2016:
Are you referring to the email that PayPal sends out or one that WooCommerce sends out?
=====
Email from Woocommerce. If we using paypal express as payment, woocommerce send email, if using paypal pro, it didnt.
regards
Andrew Angell –
I have not had any other reports of this, so there must be something on your system conflicting and causing that email not to get sent. Do you have any other plugins installed that could be doing something with end of order email notifications by chance?
isni –
Hello, great plugin! i like it very much, thank you.
I wonder if using paypal payflow, the email is sent to customer after make the order? If using paypal express, customer receive the email, but if make via paypal payflow CC, customer didnt receive the email.
Can you help me about this issue? Thanks
Andrew Angell –
Are you referring to the email that PayPal sends out or one that WooCommerce sends out?
Asa Faly Rayyan –
Works Great. can i replace the paypal button link, without change the original plugin? something like “Child” of tihs plugin.
Andrew Angell –
I’m not sure I understand what it is you’re trying to do. Please clarify. Sounds like something we may need to add a hook for if we don’t already have one.
Paul –
Great Plugin-great support using Paypal’s Payfow pro gateway. Highly Recommend this plugin as a must have for woocommerce
Galib –
Hello, Do you have a new version of it?
Its not working for me. If you have kindly share download link?
Thanks.
Andrew Angell –
The latest version is 1.1.7.5. Is that the version you’re using? What problem are you having specifically? It may be best for you to submit a ticket here so we can help you out with that.

Hello Andrew!
I would like to suggest that PayPal Standard be added to this plug-in. We are not yet using PayPal Website Payments Pro since we are still in the early days of launch, and that would make this the absolute perfect plug-in. Express Checkout seems to give us some issues, so for right now we are using the built-in PayPal Standard in WooCommerce. Are there any plans to integrate Standard Payments?
Thanks!
Larry
Andrew Angell –
The experience for users with Standard and Express is very similar, but Express provides a lot more features. If you want to let me know exactly what problems you are having with it I can certainly help.
Louise –
Hi have been using your plugin successfully until recently when customers reported problems payment via paypal express. They get to their paypal account to make payment but the order doesnt complete fully resulting in a 404 error to URL:-
http://www.crossdressingcloset.com/checkout/review-order/?pp_action=revieworder&token=EC-4VD2272883344282J&PayerID=9XELA3JX6JW3C
I’ve had to deactivate the plug in for the time being. Is there anything you can do/suggest?
Andrew Angell –
When you first activate the plugin it creates a new page in your WP system to use as the review page. It sounds like this page must have gotten deleted. If you disable and reactivate the plugin it should recreate it again for you.

Was hoping that this was going to be a quick addition to my client’s websites but unfortunately, each time I’ve installed it, I’ve had problems when redirected back to the WooCommerce site. Either it’s missing the shipping details (or not in the DoCheckout function), or it’s missing additional information (such as desired delivery date). On both sites, using Standard Paypal (that comes with WooCommerce) works fine.
Andrew Angell –
I guess I would need some more details as to what’s going on there. I haven’t had this complaint from others, so my guess would be some sort of a theme or plugin conflict. Tough to say without working directly with your configuration to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
If you want to submit a ticket here I can work with you more directly, but I do have some premium support tickets that I have to get through before I can get to this. Of course, if you want to submit an order for premium support you could get into that queue and get helped more quickly.

Installed the plugin to use Paypal express checkout on my site http://resumeshoppe.com. Got this error: ‘10002 – Security header is not valid’ when I tried to place an order. I’ve uploaded this https://github.com/angelleye/paypal-woocommerce/archive/issue%23164.zip already like you suggested in a previous comment, but no luck. Can you help?
Andrew Angell –
That error means the API credentials that were used are incorrect. You need to double check that you’re using the correct credentials for Sandbox and Live settings in the Express Checkout settings page.
Marie –
Hi! I’ve been using this plugin on a client’s site and it’s been great. Now it suddenly doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve updated to the latest version. What now happens when you click on “Proceed to Paypal” is that it goes to the Paypal homepage instead of a n order form which it used to do. When the user logs into Paypal, it just goes to their normal account screen. There is no checkout form at all for the purchaser to complete payment. Thanks for any help.
Andrew Angell –
Hi Marie,
When you say you updated to the latest version, are you referring to the PayPal for WooCommerce plugin, WooCommerce itself, or both?
There are a couple of adjustments we need to make in our plugin to fix small issues that arose with the release of WooCommerce 2.3, but those aren’t issues that would cause what you’re explaining. I have not had any complaints from others about problems with checkout, and it’s not something I can reproduce myself.
There must be something unique going on with your site causing the issue. We’d be happy to take a closer look for you, but you’ll need to submit an order for premium support for that.
What you might want to try on your own, though, is to make sure you don’t have any other new plugins or theme updates that could be conflicting. I often disable most plugins on a site to see if the problem goes away, and if so, then you can re-enable each plugin one at a time until the problem comes back. Then you’d know the culprit.
Another thing you could try is switching the plugin to use sandbox mode temporarily and see if you have the same problem there or not. If not, then it could be a quirk with the live PayPal server, which shouldn’t happen for long. You might try clearing browser cache/cookies and see if that resolves it.
Also, I’ve found that caching plugins in WordPress and/or server hosting accounts can cause issues like this.
So I’d look into those things, and if you need more help go ahead and submit that premium support order and we’ll get you taken care of. Thanks!

Hi, there is a problem with user creation while using this plugin…on the checkout page, I set in the Woocommerce setting where user can insert their username and the password by woocommerce will be sent to user after the payment.
Now, the payment using Paypal for Wommerce has been received which is great ! BUT the user does not receive any password creation and there is no user details in WP user list although the notification of their purchases received by both ends.
I thought it was Woocommerce problem but it isn’t because when I tried to pay using BACS selection, the user details are created at WP user list.
Need your help as there is a buyer who are waiting for their credentials and we need to sort it out. Thanks.
Andrew Angell –
I’ve added this as an issue in our GitHub repo so we can take a closer look at it. It’s not something I’ll be able to focus on right away (unless you submit an order for premium support). We’ll get to it asap, though!
monkseo –
the paypal express image on checkout is hardcoded http NOT! https – therefore causing an SSL error on the checkout page – how can I fix this ASAP?!
Andrew Angell –
We have resolved this on our GitHub repo already, but I haven’t fully tested it. You’re welcome to grab it early if you want. It should solve the problem. You can download it here. Just extract the files and upload them to the paypal-for-woocommerce plugin folder on your site overriding the current files. Then this problem should go away. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
wigwamcrafts –
Will this automatically calculate shipping via PayPal profile shipping?
Andrew Angell –
No, Express Checkout does not use your PayPal profile for shipping. You’ll need to configure shipping calculators in WooCommerce.
Erik –
Is there any version of this plug in that works with Version 2.0.20 of WooCommerce?
Andrew Angell –
Sorry, but no. You need at least 2.1.
Will –
As a PayPal Integration Engineer I use this extension for all of my WooCommerce customers. It’s a fantastic product, nothing more you can say about it. It just plain works.
J –
Excellent plugin and great developer.
RMJ –
SEVEN stars.
Perfect product – even better customer service. Andrew knows his stuff and has constructed one of the best plugins I’ve had the pleasure of using in WordPress. Upload it, activate it, it just works, and makes using WooCommerce a much better experience for PayPal users. And, when I did have a problem, support was top-notch and spot-on. I seriously cannot express how much of a lifesaver the support was. Truly above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks, Angelleye! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
