How Do I Test PayPal With WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:56 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform for WordPress. It allows you to sell products and take payments via PayPal. In order to take advantage of all the features that WooCommerce offers, you need to set up a PayPal account and connect it to WooCommerce.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Use the default PayPal gateway that comes with WooCommerce
2. Use the PayPal Express Checkout gateway, which is an add-on for WooCommerce

If you’re not sure which one to use, we recommend using the latter as it offers more features and is more user-friendly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set it up:

PRO TIP: PayPal offers a number of ways to test your WooCommerce integration. It is strongly recommended that you test your integration thoroughly before going live. Failure to do so could result in lost orders and customers.

1. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins -> Add New. 2. Search for “WooCommerce PayPal Express Checkout” and install the plugin. 3. Once the plugin is installed and activated, go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Checkout -> PayPal Express Checkout.

4. Enable the gateway and enter your PayPal API credentials. You can find these in your PayPal account under Profile -> API Access. 5. Save your changes and you’re done!

Now that you’ve successfully connected your PayPal account to WooCommerce, you can start taking payments via PayPal.
