Why WooCommerce PayPal not working
When WooCommerce PayPal not working, customers cannot complete purchases via PayPal or orders stall in pending status after redirect.
PayPal integrations involve redirect URLs, webhooks, currency support, and sandbox vs live mode, all easy to misconfigure.
- PayPal plugin outdated or incompatible with WooCommerce
- Sandbox mode enabled on live store
- Webhook or IPN not reaching WordPress
- Currency not supported by PayPal business account
- SSL or return URL mismatch after domain change
PayPal redirect vs on-page checkout issues
PayPal Standard redirects customers away from your site. Commerce Platform can embed buttons. Each has different failure modes and log locations.
We verify orders reach completed status in WooCommerce, not just that PayPal accepted payment.

FAQ
WooCommerce PayPal not working: FAQs
PayPal Standard vs PayPal Payments: can you fix both?
We support current PayPal Commerce integrations and migrations from older gateways.
Why do PayPal orders stay on hold?
Usually missed IPN or webhook delivery. We restore server callbacks and firewall allowances.
Can I offer PayPal alongside Stripe?
Yes. We fix multi-gateway checkout so both options work without JavaScript conflicts.
Why is WooCommerce PayPal not working?
Outdated PayPal plugin, changed API credentials, currency unsupported by your PayPal account, or redirect URL misconfiguration are frequent causes.
Should I use PayPal Standard or PayPal Commerce?
PayPal Commerce (PPCP) is the current recommended integration. Legacy Standard may still work but lacks modern features. We fix whichever you have installed.
Can PayPal work but orders not complete in WooCommerce?
Yes. Webhook or IPN failures mean payment succeeds in PayPal while WooCommerce never marks the order paid.
Do you fix PayPal on subscriptions?
Yes. PayPal billing agreements and subscription renewals have separate configuration from one-off checkout.
