There are two ways to connect your PayPal account to WooCommerce. The first is to use the PayPal Checkout extension, and the second is to use the PayPal Standard gateway.

With the PayPal Checkout extension, you can accept payments via PayPal and credit cards. You’ll need a PayPal Business account to use this extension.

Once you’ve installed and activated the extension, you’ll need to connect your PayPal account to WooCommerce. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout > PayPal Checkout and enter your PayPal API credentials.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products or services online, you may want to consider linking your PayPal account to your WooCommerce store. This will allow you to accept payments through PayPal and will also give your customers the option to pay with their PayPal account if they have one.

Before you link your PayPal account to WooCommerce, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

You will need to log in to your PayPal account periodically and manually transfer the funds from PayPal to your bank account.

If you don’t want to use the PayPal Checkout extension, you can use the PayPal Standard gateway. This gateway allows you to accept payments via PayPal or credit cards without needing a separate extension.

To set up the PayPal Standard gateway, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout > Payment Gateways and select PayPal from the list of available gateways. You’ll then need to enter your PayPal email address.

Conclusion:

You can connect your PayPal account to WooCommerce using either the PayPal Checkout extension or the PayPal Standard gateway. To do this, you’ll need to enter your PayPal API credentials into WooCommerce.
