## Description

CheckoutCue Payments for WooCommerce adds a simple PayPal redirect payment method
to WooCommerce.

It is designed for small stores that want a straightforward way to send customers
to PayPal, let them approve payment, return them to WooCommerce, and capture the
payment through the PayPal Orders API v2.

Core features:

 * Add a PayPal redirect payment method to WooCommerce checkout.
 * Use separate Sandbox and Live PayPal REST API credentials.
 * Test PayPal credentials from the WooCommerce payment settings screen.
 * Send WooCommerce order totals to PayPal and capture payment after the buyer returns.
 * Verify the PayPal order ID, captured amount, and currency before marking the 
   WooCommerce order paid.
 * Send product line items and SKUs to PayPal when the order totals can be represented
   exactly.
 * Send the WooCommerce shipping address to PayPal for physical-product orders when
   enabled.
 * Generate a short saved invoice ID prefix to help one PayPal account receive payments
   from multiple stores.
 * Support WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
 * Support WooCommerce classic checkout and checkout blocks.

CheckoutCue Payments intentionally stays narrow. It creates and captures PayPal 
payments. It does not add subscriptions, saved payment methods, card vaulting, Pay
Later messaging, refunds, disputes, or shipment tracking.

For shipment tracking and PayPal tracking sync after an order has been paid, use
ParcelCue Tracking for WooCommerce.

### Third-Party Services

CheckoutCue Payments connects to PayPal to create and capture payments.

Service provider: PayPal
 Service used: PayPal REST API, including OAuth token requests
and Orders API v2 order creation/capture endpoints Service URLs: * https://api-m.
paypal.com * https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com

CheckoutCue sends data to PayPal when a store administrator tests credentials and
when a customer chooses CheckoutCue Payments during checkout.

Data sent to PayPal may include:

 * PayPal REST API Client ID and Secret when testing credentials or requesting an
   access token.
 * WooCommerce order ID, invoice ID, currency, and order total.
 * Product names, SKUs, quantities, and prices when line item transfer is enabled
   and the order can be represented exactly.
 * Shipping name and address when shipping-address transfer is enabled.
 * Return and cancel URLs so PayPal can send the customer back to the WooCommerce
   store.

PayPal’s terms and privacy information are available here:

 * PayPal User Agreement: https://www.paypal.com/legalhub/paypal/useragreement-full
 * PayPal Privacy Statement: https://www.paypal.com/privacy

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require a PayPal Business account?

Yes. You need PayPal REST API credentials from a PayPal Business account.

### Does this plugin support Sandbox testing?

Yes. CheckoutCue has separate Sandbox and Live credential fields. You can test Sandbox
credentials before using Live mode.

### Can customers pay by credit or debit card without a PayPal account?

PayPal may offer eligible customers the option to pay by debit or credit card without
creating a PayPal account. Availability depends on PayPal, the merchant account,
buyer location, buyer eligibility, cookies, risk checks, and other PayPal rules.

### Does CheckoutCue capture the payment automatically?

CheckoutCue creates a PayPal order, redirects the customer to PayPal, and captures
the payment when PayPal returns the customer to WooCommerce after approval.

### What if the customer closes the browser before returning from PayPal?

The payment may remain approved or incomplete at PayPal, but WooCommerce may not
be able to capture it automatically because the customer did not return to the store.
Check the order and your PayPal account before shipping.

### Does this plugin support WooCommerce Blocks checkout?

Yes. CheckoutCue registers a WooCommerce Blocks payment method when WooCommerce 
Blocks payment integrations are available.

### Does this plugin sync shipment tracking to PayPal?

No. CheckoutCue is a payment gateway only. Use ParcelCue Tracking for WooCommerce
if you need to add tracking numbers to orders and sync tracking information to PayPal.

### Does this plugin process refunds?

No. Refunds should be handled in PayPal and then recorded in WooCommerce as needed.
