Enable Paypal payments without Express buttons

Hello @su1

It would be great if you could share your current System Status Report. Especially URL of your site would be helpful to analyze the problem before sharing some solutions.

You can get it by navigating to the WooCommerce / Status section of your site. Once there, click on the Get system report button and then copy it by clicking on the Copy for support button.

Please provide those log entries on our PrivateBin. After uploading, send us the link, so we can review them in detail.

Kind regards,

Hello @su1

If you want the PayPal payment option to be visible at the checkout block, but prefer not to have the Express button displayed at the top of your page, implementing the script below can solve this issue, for example, through a Code snippets plugin:

add_filter('woocommerce_paypal_payments_use_place_order_button', '__return_true');

This script removes the smart button from the checkout page and generates a “Proceed to PayPal” button instead.

To customize the “Proceed to PayPal” button label to suit your needs, you can use this script:

// Change the button label - defaults to "Proceed to PayPal" add_filter('woocommerce_paypal_payments_place_order_button_text', function() { return __( 'Place order', 'woocommerce' ); });

In the plugin settings, under the Standard Payments tab, the location must be set to “Express Checkout”.

With this setup, you should achieve the desired effect.

Sidenote: I’m also confronted to a bug where when I activate smart buttons only on the Express checkout or Classic Checkout page, they still show up on the Cart page.

Let me know if the problem persists after implementing the suggested changes. While I don’t rule out the possibility of it occurring, as we’ve received a similar report from another user, we are aware of it and plan to address it in the upcoming update.

Also, I don’t know if I should open a separate ticket, but Woocommerce says my shop is not https whereas I do have a certificate and every browser says I am https.

This issue has been discussed here before, so I’d suggest looking for answers in the WooCommerce support area. Unfortunately, this problem falls outside our support scope, but the last response offers a smart workaround.

If you have any further inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Hello @su1

Could you share the exact code you used in Code Snippets? I’ve tested the code I provided with the same setup, and it worked well on my side. A video recording of what you’re doing might also help us to understand the problem.

For further assistance, please consider contacting us directly. We might need to look into your system’s report or logs to understand the issue better. You can submit a support ticket through our service desk by following this link: Request Support. Don’t forget to mention the URL of this conversation in your ticket for context.
