YITH PayPal Payments (WooCommerce)

YITH Payments for WooCommerce allows you to accept your store's PayPal and credit card payments. To use it, you need a PayPal business account. Sign up on PayPal before proceeding.

To get started, we need to make sure that the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin is installed.

Go to Plugins> Add New Plugin> locate and Install> Activate the plugin to install the plugin.

3. Navigate to the Payments tab.

   

4. The next page will show all Payment Methods available. Go to PayPal, then click the Finish set up button.

   

5. Click the Activate PayPal button.

   

6. Click the Test Payments with PayPal sandbox if you want to test payments before accepting payments on your WooCommerce shop.

PayPal Payments options

In the Settings tab, there are options that relate to the plugin's configuration.

1.  Select the Payment Options - You can choose between: 
   • Sale - the funds will automatically transferred from the customer account to  a merchant account.
   • Authorize and capture - the admin needs to complete the transaction. The fund will be on reserved status for three days,  and  the product is set to be on hold.

     

2. Set up Show PayPal button - You can choose to set up the payment button on the Cart, Checkout and Product pages.

4. Invoice Prefix-  Add a unique prefix to each store's PayPal account to easily identify payments and keep records organized for multiple stores connected to the same account.

   

PayPal Button Options

Customize your payment button on the Checkout and product pages. Go to the Button options tab to adjust colour, size, and shape, and add custom text or images. Here's how:

1. Navigate to the Button options tab to choose the shape and color for your payment button.

   

2. In the Additional Payments buttons, select the alternative payment to appear by default in the PayPal wallet.

   

   • Enabling certain sources will cause an additional button to appear alongside the PayPal option.

     

Credit Card payment options

Enable credit card payments in the Custom Credit Card tab of the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin to provide your customers with a convenient and secure way to pay during checkout.

For example, the checkout page has a credit card payment option enabled in the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin.
