For years, it was not always easy to connect PayPal with one’s own WooCommerce shop and to „install“ PayPal correctly. However, the process of setting up/installing WooCommerce PayPal with API & Checkout has become easier and only takes a few minutes. In this article with video, I explain 3 integration variants. The previous manual method via PayPal email address, Merchant ID, Key, and Secret is, of course, still possible.
