Hi @convospanish,
Woocommerce checkout Paypal before I publish my products.
Just to mention, WooCommerce Payments is a different payment gateway from PayPal (it’s powered by Stripe). Thus, the Paymentsmenu item on the WP-Admin dashboard will be present normally if you have the WooCommerce Payments plugin.
For a guide on testing PayPal, could you kindly share with us the name and author of the PayPal plugin that you’re using?
Thanks.
Ok, I see.
I have WooCommerce PayPal Payments, whose author is WooCommerce.
Hi @convospanish
Thank you for your reply and letting us know the plugin author.
Could you go to Plugins and check if WooCommerce PayPal Payments is installed and activated?

If not installed, please visit read the instructions provided by the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#installation
I just checked. The plugin is installed and activated.
Thanks for getting back @convospanish.

First, thank you very much for your help. I have already set up everything.
I was testing the card payment and it seems the creation of a PayPal account is a requirement. How can I change that?
Also, is there a specific test card number I have to use?
Hi @convospanish,
Yes, a sandbox account is required. I recommend following our documentation on testing in sandbox.
If you need further assistance with this, I highly recommend creating a new thread on the plugin’s forum.
